7/1/13: Several players using grooved grips on PGA regular tour and making money. One former Major Champion put them on all clubs past week and wants to use them going forward
Twelve players on Champions Tour using the grooved golf grips. Most notable are the following stats on player with them on all clubs including the putter on his way to top 10 finish. Really good at driving accuracy and greens in regulation. To be 4th in greens in regulation and still 17th in putts per green is acceptional.
