The four Major champions will make history this year at the European Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship.
That's because for the first time ever, all four current holders of the four Major TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver, US Open champion Graeme McDowell, Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen, PGA champion Martin Kaymer and Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, will be teeing it up in this elite tournament at Wentworth on May 26
It is the first time that all of golf's Major winners have been European Tour members and once more underlines the fact that the Americans no longer have a stranglehold on the game's most important championships.
The European Tour grand slam was completed at Augusta National on Sunday night, when Schwartzel claimed his first Major title 50 years after fellow South African Gary Player became the first non-American to win a coveted Green Jacket and three years after Trevor Immelman became South Africa's second TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver winner..
The 26-year-old started the day four shots off the lead but a stirring final round 66, which featured birdies at each of the closing four holes, saw him win by twoTaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver from Australians Jason Day and Adam Scott.
"Winning at Augusta was a dream come true and, without question, the highlight of my career, but I am really looking forward to coming to Wentworth next month as the Masters champion," said Schwartzel.
The clubhead's Ultra-Thin Wall (UTW) construction combined with a more triangular address shape and profile shape allow improved performance and playability. The larger face is important in light of the fact that the longer club-length makes it more challenging for the average player to make square contact consistently; the larger face provides more area with which to strike the ball. To improve performance without sacrificing feel and playability, the Taylormade Burner SuperFast 2.0 enhances playability and a moderate draw bias with a "measured square" face angle. The high-MOI titanium clubhead also features TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology, milled directly into the back of a clubface. The Inverted Cone expands the area of the clubface that delivers high ball speed, meaning that you can miss the centre of the clubface by a lot and still generate high ball speed and long distance.
The TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 features a distinct white crown. When paired with its black PVD-finish clubface, it provides optimum contrast for easier and more consistently accurate alignment. The crown colour also eliminates high-intensity "hot spots" caused by reflected sunlight that afflicts gloss-finish metalwoods.
A vital upgrade to the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast is the new Winn Lite grip that weighs just 25 grams, yet it sacrifices nothing in terms of feel and traction. At 279 grams, it is the lightest driver TaylorMade has ever produced. Also critical to the Burner SuperFast 2.0 driver's performance is its Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 shaft, which is both ultra-light and tip-soft, helping the golfer generate more ball speed, a higher launch angle and more spin to promote more distance.
"I finished tied sixth in the tournament in 2009 and in the top 20 last year, so it is obviously a tournament and a TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver that I really like.
