DORAL, Fla. – First, it was Callaway Golf’s decision to sponsor the Super Bowl pregame show on CBS. Now, the Carlsbad, Calif.-based company is asking golfers to bet Phil Mickelson to win his third green jacket next month at the Masters.

In a partnership with Golfsmith, Callaway has made this offer: If a customer purchases a Callaway Diablo Edge, FT-Tour or FT-iZ at any Golfsmith store in the U.S. and Mickelson wins the Masters, the purchase price will be fully refunded.

“We’re kicking off the season with the first major of the year and the best player in the field,” said Marty Hanaka, president and CEO of Golfsmith. “Phil is the hottest player on tour, and Callaway’s new drivers are better than ever before. There is pent-up demand from golfers for new clubs, and with this promotion exclusively at Golfsmith, it’s a great way to inspire golfers everywhere to root for Phil at this year’s Masters.”
