PXG Celebrates 10 Years of Golf Innovation Amid Workforce Changes
It’s been quite a journey for PXG, otherwise known as Parsons Xtreme Golf, since its inception in 2015. The brainchild of billionaire and former U.S. Marine Bob Parsons, the company was born out of a passion for crafting the best golf clubs in the world. With Parson’s considerable personal funds fueling this ambitious mission, PXG quickly made waves in the golfing community.
When PXG first launched, the debut 0311 irons were priced at $300 per club, a figure that raised a few eyebrows in the golf world. Back then, such a hefty price tag was considered outright outrageous. But PXG wasn’t just about the price—it aimed to merge the sleek looks of a professional’s muscleback blade with the performance attributes of a game-improvement club. The company did this by incorporating cutting-edge designs, including ultra-thin faces, hollow bodies filled with thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and tungsten weight screws to enhance both performance and aesthetics.
Fast forward eight years, and PXG has successfully launched six additional generations of clubs. Their product lineup now includes everything from drivers and fairway woods to hybrids and wedges. In 2018, PXG didn’t stop there—they expanded their brand into apparel, and just last month, they unveiled their first line of golf balls. Talk about a growth spurt!
The company’s retail approach is also worth noting. PXG focuses on direct-to-consumer relationships instead of diluting their brand through large-scale distribution in big-box stores. This strategy took a big step forward when they opened a new retail location at a high-end shopping center, showcasing stylish apparel and exclusive accessories.
However, recent announcements suggest that not all is smooth sailing at PXG. In light of ongoing market shifts, a company restructuring has been put in place. This change means that around 125 employees—or about 10% of the entire workforce—will be laid off. This includes about 65 retail employees as the company adjusts its operations to a five-day workweek, along with employees from other departments.
PXG is well known for its unique, military-themed naming conventions, with products like Black Ops and Wildcat. They refer to their loyal customers as “Ground Troops,” fostering a sense of camaraderie. In an effort to give back, PXG also introduced a “Heroes Program,” offering discounts to active-duty military personnel, veterans, first responders, law enforcement officials, teachers, and nurses.
Over the last decade, PXG has claimed an impressive 37 victories across the PGA, LPGA, and Champions Tours, solidifying its reputation in the world of golf. As it looks to the future, the brand aims to keep innovating while remaining true to the core goals that Bob Parsons set back when this adventure first began.
For those who love the game of golf, PXG’s journey has certainly been one for the books. While the company faces some challenges in today’s market, it’s clear that their commitment to innovation and quality remains steadfast. After all, as the world of golf evolves, so too must the brands that strive to lead the charge in equipment excellence.
