The days of golf equipment signings may be over, but every now and then one signing deserves our attention.
Marco Penge just earned it with his latest acceleration move.
The new PGA Tour member has joined the ranks following his second-place finish in the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai PXG’s Tour Staff. He has been using Mizuno clubs since 2022 and played the company’s driver and irons during his three-win season in Europe last year.
“From the first conversation it was clear that PXG is obsessed with performance,” Penge, the 29th ranked player in the world, said in a press release. “The fitting process, the people, the technology… it’s all built to help players compete at the highest level. I’m excited to work closely with the team and put PXG equipment in play every week.”

Penge was due to make his season debut at the Sony Open this week, but withdrew due to illness. Next week he will still be in the field at the American Express.
PXG says Penge will play the new Lightning Tour Mid Driver, Secret Weapon Mini Driver, the new PXG 0311 GEN8 4-Iron and PXG 0317 ST 5-P Irons to start the year. Notably, Titleist still lists Penge as a “golf ball player” on its website, and it appears he will continue to play the Pro V1. He too used at least four Scotty Cameron putters last year and won with three different ones.
Penge will play on both sides of the pond this season as he retained his DP World Tour membership.
“Marco is driven, talented and unapologetically competitive, exactly the kind of player we want to represent PXG,” said Bob Parsons, founder and CEO of PXG. “He wants to get better every day and we are proud to support him with equipment built to perform at the highest level.”
Few other major equipment personnel moves are expected before 2026, but PXG is teases a second addition to his Tour staff which it did not announce on Tuesday.
After Penge’s big 2025, not only will his adjustment to PGA Tour life be worth watching, but so will his adjustment to new equipment.
