Woodland celebrates winning first Major title securing second win in row for Team Troon following fellow ambassador Patrick Cantlay’s victory at the Memorial Tournament
With a winning score of 13-under par, Team Troon Ambassador Gary Woodland secured his first Major at the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. The Troon brand had a strong presence at the U.S. Open last week, with Woodland sporting the Troon logo on his bag and posing with his winning bag for photos after securing the victory.
Troon, the world’s largest golf management company, announced the formation of Team Troon – a collection of some of the finest golf talent across the PGA TOUR, LPGA and European Tour – in February. Tour players Justin Thomas, Gary Woodland, Patrick Cantlay, Alex Noren, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Cheyenne Woods make up the star-studded Team Troon line-up and represent the Troon brand on Tour.
“It was incredible to see Gary win his first Major in the US Open,” said Tim Schantz, president and chief executive officer, Troon. “His victory was a remarkable display of golf and mental toughness, and it was great to see him play so well on a grand stage. Team Troon is off to a great start in 2019. Their success reinforces the strength of the Troon brand. The excellence the members of Team Troon pursue every day is representative of Troon’s day to day approach, whether it’s seeking the unparalleled results to the owners of the facilities we manage or delivering memorable experiences to guests and members.”
Troon-managed or affiliated facilities host 18 professional golf events across 9 professional tours around the world. Including high-level amateur events and qualifying tournaments, Troon-managed facilities host more than 30 elite events and the representatives from Team Troon will help to promote these properties and the Troon brand as a whole throughout the competitive golf season.
