Wixom, MI – SuperStroke, the No. 1 Putter Grip in golf and the leader in innovative Tour-proven golf grip technology, congratulates 24-year-old Joe Highsmith (playing his second full season on the PGA TOUR) on capturing the first victory of his professional career by overcoming a packed leaderboard to win the Cognizant Classic by two strokes. Highsmith made the tournament’s cut on the number after rounds of 65 and 72, but with a pair of 64s on the weekend, Highsmith found the winner’s circle and more than doubled his career earnings by claiming the $1.656 million winner’s check.
Using a SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 putter grip, the Washington native and Pepperdine graduate carded 12 birdies and an eagle and gained nearly six-and-a-half strokes on the field over the final two rounds to earn his maiden victory on the PGA TOUR in the most unexpected fashion.
Highsmith putted lights out, averaging 1.61 putts per green in regulation and holing more than 230 feet of putts over the final two rounds. He also led the field in Strokes Gained: Total (12.516) to secure the win and a spot in the 2025 playing of The Masters.
“Congratulations to Joe Highsmith on earning his first-career win at the Cognizant Classic in incredibly dramatic fashion and with stellar putting down the stretch,” said SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman. “His putting was the definition of clutch all week with his SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 putter grip. Joe proved himself to be a great champion with an excellent chance to position himself as one of the game’s best young players.”
SuperStroke's Zenergy Tour Series putter grips feature SuperStroke's traditional and most popular putter grip profile. The Tour Series parallel design has uniform lower hand profile to minimize grip pressure and maintain putter head path for a more consistent stroke.
Part of SuperStroke's groundbreaking Zenergy line, the Tour 2.0 features: Enhanced SPYNE™ Technology – The new SPYNE™ Technology has an improved, embossed ridge along the underside of the grip, engineered to make it easier to square the face at impact. New Multi-Zone Texturing – Strategically placed textured in high-sensory areas designed to optimize feedback and comfort from the incredibly soft polyurethane outer layer. No Taper Technology – Our patented No Taper minimizes grip pressure with an advanced parallel design that enables golfers to quiet their hands and add consistency to their stroke.
