The PGA Tour has been having a moment as of late and a big reason for that is the players that are littered across it.
ALIGN grips are taking over the PGA Tour
There is a certain common denominator on the PGA Tour right now
We are coming off of the Players Championship that Cameron Young won, but the bulk of the season lies ahead of us and names like Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, and Rickie Fowler all have opportunities to lift a trophy themselves.
One of the things that those players have in common is that they are all using ALIGN-family grips. Right now there are 38 PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour players using ALIGN-family grips which shows how trusted they are.
There are several points of interest along these lines:
- 12% of the top 50 PGA Tour players use ALIGN-family grips
- 20% of the top 15 PGA Tour players do
- 20 PGA Tour players are using the grips at the moment
It goes without saying that there is a lot of success happening here which is why Golf Pride launched ZGRIP ALIGN MAX publicly on March 17th which brings the ZGRIP Cord model to ALIGN MAX, which features a 25% higher, firmer, and longer ridge for consistency and feel purposes. There are also more colors and jumbo sizes being made available here so that every player can have what is the most comfortable for them.
As things relate to Cameron Young’s Players victory, Young won with MCC ALIGN MAX Plus4 grips. His victory marked the fourth Tour win for ALIGN MAX since its launch, providing plenty of proof of concept. Young switched to MCC ALIGN MAX Plus4 ahead of the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational. He previously used ALIGN technology and opted for the change after testing and preferring its feel, according to Golf Pride’s Tour representative Brett Zollman.
Hopefully we can all be playing like this group soon enough!
