Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) officially announced that Marc Leishman has joined the company as a Staff
Pro. He will use Callaway Clubs, a
Callaway Golf Ball, an Odyssey Putter, and wear a Callaway Hat on

A long hitter off the tee, Leishman is on the rise after a
tremendous 2015 campaign that included a runner-up finish at the
Open Championship, where he carded a final round 66 to earn his
spot in a 3-man playoff. He also made his 2nd
consecutive Presidents Cup appearance for the International Team in
October, and beat the top ranked player in the world in his singles
match. And in November, he won the Nedbank Challenge over a
star-studded field for his 9th professional win.

"I've seen firsthand how their equipment has helped players out on
Tour, and I'm looking forward to playing with the new clubs and
having a great year."
Leishman enters the year as the 26th ranked player in
the world. He joins an impressive Callaway Tour team that features
6 of the top 20 players in the world – including Kevin Kisner, Henrik
Stenson, Jim Furyk, and
Patrick Reed – a long list of young,
proven players like Lydia Ko,
Emiliano Grillo and Ollie
Schniederjens among many others, and 5-time major winner
Phil Mickelson. Leishman will play
