Pink drivers will be available to the public
Ping is taking advantage of the publicity Bubba Watson received by winning the Masters while using a pink driver by producing pink drivers for the public.
Ping announced Tuesday it will sell 5,000 limited-edition all-pink G20 drivers.
Each of the pink drivers will cost $430, and they will be sold in pro shops starting June 1. Five percent of the proceeds will be donated to a fund Watson helped start for cancer research.
The left-handed Watson started using the pink drivers to create exposure for himself and cancer research and prevention.
Ping donated $10,000 to help start the "Bubba & Friends Drive to a Million" initiative and has given the charity $300 every time Watson hits a drive of more than 300 yards with his pink driver.
He averages 313.1 yards per drive, tops on the PGA Tour.
The pink drivers will be available in right-handed 9.5-degrees, 10.5-degrees, and 12-degrees models, and there will be a 10.5-degrees model for left-handers.
