World League FlingGolf announces partnership with OnCore as the Official Golf Ball of the 2024 New Swarm Tour.

Amesbury, MA. January 16, 2024 - The sport's premier league and the leader in golf ball innovation partner to deliver top performance and payout for 2024 tour players.

World League FlingGolf is excited to announce OnCore Golf as the "Official Golf Ball" of WLF's 2024 New Swarm Tour.  OnCore is one of the fastest growing brands in the golf ball space, one that is not only dedicated to pushing the envelope of golf ball technology, but also committed to providing golf and FlingGolf players of all levels with a variety of options that fit each of their games.

In partnership with OnCore, WLF will raise the purses for each tournament over 2023 levels, providing incentive and reward for the league's veteran players and 2024 rookies alike to compete at the top level.  OnCore has also offered a $500 bonus per tournament for any player (Men's and Women's Divisions) that wins while playing an OnCore ball.

WLF's Commissioner John Pruellage remarked on the new sponsorship. "This is an exciting development for our players and we are pleased to be able to use OnCore's commitment to the league and the sport to help attract even more skilled players to our tournaments in 2024 and reward those that take the sport to the next level."

WLF has a strong history with OnCore, starting when Krysta "Birdie of Prey" Smith, who recently won the 2023 Women's Point Championship, played with OnCore's VERO X1 ball to win several WLF Tournaments.  She credits the ball with giving her a better feel on the green than other balls she's tried. "The OnCore is the ideal FlingGolf ball for me as well as my partner, Jamie 'Flyin' Rhino" Braley.  We are both long throwers and this ball flies!. We logo'd ours directly from OnCore with our WLF Team "Flyin Birides" logo.  They are a great brand to work with."

Other players have picked up on Krysta's lead and have started playing with OnCores themselves, including the Men's #1 Player, Austin "Showtime" Ebersole who plays the Yellow OnCore ELIXR.  "This ball is perfect because it has a hard enough shell to help fly out of the FlingStick at a higher spin rate for more yardage, while still having a soft core to absorb into the green at impact to help with reggies."

Keith Blakely, OnCore's CEO acknowledged FlingGolf's growth as a key part of their sponsorship.  "We have been watching the evolution of FlingGolf for a while and have been very impressed by the growth of the WLF Tour over the last 2 years.  It’s exciting to see the traction that this sport and this league is getting and we’re delighted to be able to participate as a cheerleader and sponsor!  Watching Krysta win several tournaments with an OnCore golf ball was inspiring to all of us.  With the wide selection of balls that OnCore offers, we are confident that we can find the right ball for any FlingGolf player, whether competing at the highest level on the tour or just out on the course for a casual round.  We are very much looking forward to this partnership and finding even more ways to improve the enjoyment and experience of participants in this innovative sport and its growing community."

"We couldn't ask for a better golf ball partner for the New Swarm Tour than OnCore.  They understand innovation and pushing the limits of a traditional pursuit, just as we do at New Swarm and WLF", said Alex Van Alen, CEO of New Swarm and Chairman of WLF. "We couldn't be happier than to welcome them as we continue our growth in competitive play on the Tour and casual FlingGolf play on courses around the globe in 2024. We look forward to a long partnership with this innovative brand."
