Jason Day is one of the most prominent golfers on the PGA Tour. Recently, he has signed a new ball deal with Bridgestone after seeing the performance of Tiger Woods’ ball. Meanwhile, Tiger has been using Bridgestone and is one of the few players who use this brand on the PGA Tour.
Moreover, the Australian golfer has been struggling a little bit with his game for the last couple of years. But his back injury has also played a vital role in this struggle. So hopefully, this new signing will bring him success and more confidence on the course.

Of course, it was Woods’s skills, but even the equipment like the ball had a role to play in it. Hence, Day approached him, and now he will be using these golf balls in the tournament. “We were doing some short game work with Tiger’s ball, the XS, and it caught my attention right away,” said Day.

“I initially played the XS and liked it, but after working with Bridgestone’s R&D team and really learning about the ball fitting process, it was obvious that the Tour B X was the best fit for my game.” Notably, Day feels that Tiger’s XS model offered more spin and thus was perfect for his game.
