Akshay had been testing the new Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS during the offseason along with our new Chrome Soft X LS. He signed with Callaway when he turned professional in late 2019, and we captured Akshay's unconventional journey on our original series "The Jump".

David Duval and Danny Lee Join Callaway

Today Callaway announced that David Duval has joined our professional staff. The 13-time PGA TOUR winner, former world #1, and 2001 Open Champion will compete on the Champions TOUR this year with Callaway Woods, Irons, Wedges, an Odyssey Putter, and a Callaway Golf Ball.
"I've been working hard on my game for almost a year now, I feel confident about where I'm at, and I'm looking forward to getting back out and competing. In the past I've never really been affiliated with one golf brand, and more recently I've been looking for a relationship with a company that feels like a family. That's exactly what I've found with the Callaway Team, and I believe that they make the best, most consistent equipment in the game," Duval said.

"I've always admired the quality of their products, and with the new golf ball alone I've picked up 3 mph ball speed, which has really made a difference for me. They have had so much success especially in recent years across the professional Tours, including the Champions Tour where they're the most played brand. Joining Callaway is a natural fit for me, and I'm excited for what's ahead." Duval will make his Champions Tour debut this week in Hawaii.

Also today, Callaway announced Danny Lee as a new PGA TOUR staffer. Danny will be competing in Palm Springs this week with a Rogue ST Driver in the bag.
