UNDERSTANDING PXG CLUB NUMBERING"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

PXG’s unique club numbering system references the United States Marine Corps’ Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) system. This numbering protocol is found on all PXG Drivers, Fairways, Hybrids, and Irons<\/a>. Products like our Battle Ready Putters<\/a> are also named for military equipment and weapons. This naming convention is a nod to PXG Founder and CEO, Bob Parsons’ military roots and a tribute to the brave men and women who serve our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY OUR CLUB NAMING IS IMPORTANT TO OUR BRAND<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything I’ve ever accomplished, I owe to the Marine Corps. So, our club numbering system is a small way we can pay tribute. The Marine Corps has something for every job that’s called a military occupational specialty. It’s a number that indicates what your job is. So, 0311, which is what I was, is our irons. It’s a rifleman. 0317 is a scout sniper. That’s our hybrids. 0341, mortars. That’s our fairway woods. 0811, artillery, you can be sure that’s the driver.\u201d<\/em> PXG Founder and CEO, Bob Parsons.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
