There is a stench of negativity in professional golf right now and justifiably so.

The PGA Tour is struggling to drum up interest in its archaic, flailing product that had a lot of warts well before LIV came around and lured away some of the Tour’s top talent.

If you want proof that Wilson is getting serious about drivers, you’ll need to count to three.

For the first time in recent memory, Wilson is launching a full, three-member family of drivers today under the DYNAPWR banner. Each driver is distinct, with each designed for a specific player type.
