May 28, 2024 – For the second consecutive week Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke Driver and Chrome Tour Golf Ball secured another headline victory, as Staffer Nacho Elvira triumphed at the 2024 Soudal Open.

Hot on the heels of fellow Callaway Staff Player Xander Schauffele’s wire-to-wire maiden Major success at the PGA Championship, the Spaniard led from the front on the final day at Rinkven International Golf Club in Belgium, to secure his second DP World Tour title.

The 37-year-old shot 22 birdies across the tournament week, firing a -18 total for a one-shot victory.

Among his full bag of Callaway and Odyssey equipment, including a White Hot OG Rossie Putter, was a Paradym Ai Smoke Driver and Fairway Wood, plus a Chrome Tour Golf Ball, the company’s new gold standard in performance.

An emotional Nacho, who secured a €393,133 winner’s cheque, said: “I’m very happy. I was a little bit emotional because I know all the hard work that I put in that sometimes doesn’t show. I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

The Paradym Ai Smoke Driver features the company’s most sophisticated driver face ever. The Ai Smart Face uses real player data and advanced machine learning to create a series of sweet spots all over the face.

Nacho’s Chrome Tour Golf Ball provides outstanding distance, workability, and spin to deliver the best performance from tee-to-green.

Ben Sharpe, President and Managing Director of Callaway EMEA, added: “It’s fantastic to see that our team of Staff Players are continuing to fully embrace our 2024 products, and they are consistently reaping the winning benefits at crucial moments during competitive play. Congratulations to Nacho.”
