Congratulations to newly-minted PGA TOUR member Matt McCarty on claiming his first career win with a blistering 23-under-par finish at the Black Desert Championship, a first-time event on the circuit.
Playing in just his fourth-ever event on the PGA TOUR – qualified by virtue of his three wins and season earnings on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2024 – the 26-year-old lefthander fired rounds of 62-68-64-67 to win the tournament by three shots. Using a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 2.0 putter grip, he putted consistently all week, averaging 1.63 putts per hole (T-2).
He led the field in Strokes Gained: Total (15.125) and Eagles Made (3), while holing 71 feet of putts. He earned $1.35 million in his maiden win on the PGA TOUR, which also earned him 500 FedEx Cup Points and a spot in the 2025 Masters.
“Congratulations to Matt McCarty on an excellent, thorough winning performance with a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 2.0 putter grip at the Black Desert Championship,” said SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman. “To go from being one of the best players on the Korn Ferry Tour to a winner on the PGA TOUR with exemptions into The Masters and the U.S. Open is an extraordinary achievement for a talented player with a very promising future.”
The Pistol 2.0 putter grip is a modern take on a beloved classic. These putter grips merge a pistol-style top section that helps golfers lock in their upper hand position with “No Taper Technology” to help golfers maintain even grip pressure and boost the consistency of their stroke.
Part of SuperStroke's groundbreaking Zenergy line, the Pistol 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.
