Wixom, MI – SuperStroke, the No. 1 Putter Grip in golf and the leader in innovative Tour-proven golf grip technology, is proud to announce the release of an officially licensed PGA Championship putter grip design that pays a playful tribute to the state of Kentucky, host site of the season’s second major, and its rich cultural heritage.
The limited-edition grip, launching Thursday, May 9 at 6 p.m. Eastern, will be available in SuperStroke’s popular Zenergy Tour 2.0 and Tour 3.0 putter grip models. These putter grips are being sold exclusively at SuperStrokeUSA.com and on-site at Louisville’s Valhalla Golf Club during the practice and tournament rounds of the 2024 PGA Championship, May 13 -19.
Thoughtful imagery designed in honor of the Bluegrass State can be found in design touches like the rose pattern embossed throughout the surface of the grip (to honor Kentucky's annual Run for the Roses). The grip also features a collage of images that call to mind some of Kentucky's most iconic cultural symbols. The artistic and colorful symbols seen on this grip include:
Horseshoes, Roses, and Jockeys Riding Racehorses – In honor of the 150-year tradition of Louisville hosting the most celebrated event in horseracing in which the winning horse is draped in a blanket of roses.
Mint Julep Cocktails – Celebrating the official beverage of Louisville’s week-long Derby festival since 1939. The connection to the sport’s most famous race and mint juleps can actually be traced back as far as the 1820s when sterling silver julep cups were awarded as trophies to first-place jockeys.
Wooden Baseball Bats – In homage to the iconic piece of sporting equipment Louisville has famously been providing to the stars of America’s Favorite Pastime since 1894.
Bourbon Bottles – Arguably the most definitively American distilled spirit, this dark, rich barrel-aged beverage has become synonymous with Kentucky and drives a significant amount of tourism to the Bluegrass State.
“It’s an honor to pay tribute to the 2024 PGA Championship and the marvelous host city of Louisville, Kentucky with this special edition putter grip release,” said SuperStroke Founder and CEO Dean Dingman. “Louisville turns on the Southern charm in a special way and adds a winning touch to the PGA Championship every time a major is hosted at Valhalla Golf Club. We hope fans enjoy commemorating this year’s PGA with this stylish, fun and beneficial-to-your-putting-stroke keepsake.”

Zenergy’s multi-layer grip construction – with a soft, tacky outer layer for extreme grip, and a firm rubber inner core for crucial stability and feedback – was developed with invaluable feedback from the world’s best golfers. Designed to provide players of all abilities total, unparalleled performance, Zenergy’s proprietary technology adds unmatched confidence to quiet a golfer’s hands – and mind – during every stroke. Zenergy’s latest SpyneTM Technology has an improved, embossed ridge along the grip’s underside that guides golfers to natural, repeatable hand placement and making it easier to square the face at impact.

This careful attention to variable textures and feels across the grip surface puts unrivaled control, responsiveness, and confidence in the hands of every golfer.
Patented No-Taper Shaping on the pink – or any color SuperStroke Zenergy grip - minimizes grip pressure with an advanced parallel design that allows golfers to quiet their hands and add stroke consistency.
