The announcement marks the third time in four years that the company has partnered with Watson on the fundraiser, which will now surpass $1million.
“Ping and the Solheim family are incredibly generous in giving back to the game through ideas like the limited-edition pink driver programme,†said Watson. “I’m very grateful for all of their support, on and off the golf course.
‘He has a huge heart and continues to use his success in golf to help people in need, especially children.’ – John A. Solheim, Ping chairman and CEO
“The response from the first two driver programmes was amazing, so I’m excited to continue this tradition for the third time. We’ve been able to do a lot of great things together that truly help improve the lives of the less fortunate and those in need.â€

Ping chairman and CEO John A. Solheim added: “Bubba’s a creative thinker and his decision to distinguish himself by using a pink driver and shaft helped make this programme possible.
