(PHILADELPHIA, PA) - Bridgestone Golf, the number one ball fitter in golf, has announced their largest media partnership in Philadelphia, southern New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic regions - becoming the new equipment sponsor of GolfTalk Live, the award-winning weekly radio show based in Philadelphia.

"The growth of Bridgestone Golf in such a short period of time is one of the most impressive of any equipment company to date," exclaims show host, Tony Leodora.  "Their products continue to get better and I look forward to serving as their brand ambassador in the Delaware Valley and beyond."
   
Through Bridgestone's partnership with GolfTalk Live, products will be widely available at various events throughout the year and at live remote broadcasts of the show.  Bridgestone is also the official equipment sponsor of the GolfTalk Live Winter Invitational Series, the nine-hole better-ball of partners competition at Play-a-Round Golf in Malvern, PA.
   
"Bridgestone Golf is proud to partner with Tony Leodora and his team at the GolfTalk Live radio show," said Corey Consuegra, Director of Marketing - Bridgestone Golf.  "It is hard to find someone as widely respected and trusted as Tony is both by listeners and industry professionals, as well.  We know he is the right man to help educate Delaware Valley golfers and the rest of his listeners on the importance of choosing a golf ball that is right for their swing.  In addition, we love that we're partnering with a media outlet who truly values our company's efforts to bring manufacturing back to the U.S."
