PXG, which started in 2015, has established a premium in the highly competitive golf equipment market even with a relatively short business history, and the founder's strong capital has played a significant role. The brand name, which contains the meaning of pursuing the extremes of golf, reflects the life of Bob Parsons, who lived an intense life.

Both of his parents were addicted to gambling, and he grew up paying his own tuition and living expenses from the time he was a teenager.

Although he has now risen to the ranks of billionaires, his childhood and adolescence were so unfortunate that he spent time crossing the threshold of death. Parsons was a soldier dispatched to the Vietnam War.

After dropping out of high school, he volunteered for the Marine Corps and participated in the Vietnam War. He was injured during the battle and was evacuated to his home country. The intense memories of the Vietnam War he experienced at this time are also used in Cluet's model name.

It is an ingenious setting that combines your life with the business and brand you want to do.

0311 (rifleman), 0341 (mortar), 0317 (sniper), and 0811 (artillery), which are used as model names for the PXG Club, are the specialty numbers of soldiers in the U.S. Marine Corps. 0311 is iron, 0341 is wood, 0317 is utility, and 0811 is driver. all.

Parsons, who returned from the battlefield alive, entered the accounting department at the University of Baltimore, his hometown, according to the social adaptation program for discharged soldiers established by the U.S. military authorities, and graduated with honors. Although Parsons gave up his studies early on due to poor conditions, the U.S. government took responsibility for the treatment of these disabled veterans who sacrificed their lives for their country, and he did not miss out on the opportunity he was given and took full advantage of it.

Paradoxically, the tragic and terrible war became a turning point in his life as he suffered from severe poverty and an uncertain future.

Parsons, who witnessed the first IT boom that began with the advent of personal computers thanks to Jobs and Apple in 1980, decided on a career as a professional programmer, a choice that followed the dot-com (Internet Web 1.0) craze in the late 1990s. In the second (Web 2.0) IT boom, it truly serves as an opportunity to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Became the founder of GoDaddy.

Parsons, who founded and operated an accounting program production company and grew it into a mid-sized company with 1,000 employees, founded GoDaddy, an Internet domain registration company, in the late 90s.

Starting in 2000, GoDaddy rode the explosive growth of the dot-com craze at the time and eventually became the world's largest domain registration company, giving Parsons enormous wealth.

In the process of winding down the company he founded, Parsons, who rose to a trillion-dollar net worth, invested in real estate across the United States, opened and operated his own bike shop (Harley Davidson), which he loved, and even acquired a 45-hole golf course.

He was a self-proclaimed golf lover and a huge equipment fanatic who paid 350,000 dollars (400 million won) every year just to purchase golf equipment. He was not satisfied with ready-made products and, after much deliberation, established the golf brand PXG.
