BASINGSTOKE, HAMPSHIRE (10 February, 2016) – TaylorMade Golf Company, renowned for innovations in performance-enhancing golf equipment, today announced it was the recipient of nine gold medals in the 2016 Golf Digest “Hotlist” equipment issue and the only brand to receive 20 out of 20 stars in the Driver category with M1. 

TaylorMade Golf’s M1, the No. 1 played Driver on the PGA & European Tour, received 5-stars in every ranking category: Performance, Innovation, Look/Sound/Feel and Demand. This marks the third consecutive year that TaylorMade Golf has earned the maximum score with 20 out of 20 for a driver model in Golf Digest’s Hotlist – a crowning achievement.
