Precision Golf Forging (PGF) is an Australian golf equipment brand. Notable players to have used PGF equipment include Peter Thomson,[1] Kel Nagle and Greg Norman.[2]
History
East Brothers was founded in Sydney in 1932. During the 1950s, the company merged with Chesterfield to form Precision Golf Forging.[2]
PGF was owned by Colgate-Palmolive from 1974 until 1978, when it was purchased by Kerry Stokes. In 1984, he sold a 50% stake to Harrisons and Crosfield.[3] The company was later sold to Haw Par.[4] In 2001, Haw Par sold the PGF companies to Precision Golf Forging Limited.[5] In 2011, rights to the brand were acquired by Walkinshaw Sports.[2][6]
