WILSON GOLF
Wilson's golf ball history began with its expansion into golf equipment in the 1930s, leading to the 1954 introduction of the revolutionary Wilson Staff ball, which was designed for performance. The company has since continued to innovate, introducing models like the low-compression Staff Titanium and the versatile Staff Model golf balls.
