Solheim, PING Chairman &amp; CEO.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In 2011, Mahan posted a career-best 10 top-10s while making 22 of 25 cuts and earning more than $3.5 million. His 4-1 record in his third Presidents Cup in November was instrumental to the Americans\u2019 victory. His three Tour wins include the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. He has also played on two U.S. Ryder Cup teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHunter has been an accomplished player for so long, it\u2019s hard to believe he\u2019s only 29,\u201d Solheim said. \u201cHe has incredible talent, and his easygoing nature gives him a great connection with golf fans. Hunter has been a loyal PING player his entire career and we\u2019re proud to continue our affiliation with him, now entering its 10<sup>th<\/sup> year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the agreement, Mahan will wear a PING hat, carry a PING staff bag and play PING equipment. Financial terms and the length of the agreement were not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently playing a G20<sup>\u2122<\/sup> driver and 3-wood, S56<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> irons, Anser<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> forged wedges, and an Anser Milled putter. He is 19th in the most recent Official World Golf Ranking.<\/p>\n<p>Mahan makes his home in Texas and was a star at Oklahoma State University, where he was part of PING\u2019s College Program, which introduced him to PING equipment. \u201cFrom the time I first picked up a PING club more than 10 years ago, they\u2019ve felt good in my hands,\u201d he said. \u201cThe technology fits my game. They look good at address, the drivers are long and accurate and the irons allow me to attack pins. Confidence is really important to my success, and with PING I know I have the best equipment in the industry. I\u2019m thrilled to continue my relationship with a company that has stood by me since day one.\u201d<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOENIX (January 9, 2012) \u2013 Hunter Mahan has signed a multi-year agreement to continue playing PING\u00ae golf equipment, according to John A.
