Tiger Signs Darren “Dynamite” Appleton as an Official Team Tiger Player
Tiger is excited to announce its signing of Darren “Dynamite” Appleton to Team Tiger.
“I’m delighted to join Team Tiger, probably the most excited I’ve ever been about any sponsor I’ve had before. I’ve had a great relationship with Tiger CEO Tony for a good 10 years and have always liked Tiger products. I’ve used Tiger Tips for years but never got the opportunity to play with their products full time until now,” said Appleton.
“Darren has been a part of the Tiger family for several years now as we’ve been working with him in our Tiger Tip category. He’s always been the utmost professional and has brought so much to the sport as a whole. It felt like a really natural progression for him to join Team Tiger as an official Tiger Player,” said Tiger CEO, Tony Kalamdaryan.
A World Champion and BCA Hall of Famer, Appleton is ready to get back to the game that he loves so much after suffering cardiac arrest late last year. With the support of Tiger behind him, the possibilities are limitless.
“This year I’m looking forward to getting back to full health. I’m on the mend, hoping to be back to full strength soon- back to playing and traveling. It’s gonna be a new chapter in my life and a new chapter in my career and being a part of Tiger is perfect because it gives me that motivation and the support that I need. So far that’s what I’ve gotten from Tiger. I’m really looking forward to be successful on and off the table representing Tiger cues, ” Appleton said.
“We are very intentional with who we bring on as a Pro Player. We believe in the power of Tiger and our products so when we do bring someone on board, it’s because we truly believe in them 1000% and we know that they believe in our products 1000%,” said Tiger CEO Tony. “With Darren, we know the best is yet to come for him and are thrilled on be on this journey with him.”
Together, Tiger and Appleton are ready to bring the experience and knowledge they have of the game while also bringing new energy to the industry. Appleton, who has been playing with Tiger Tips for years has also been testing out new Tiger products including the Fortis Carbon Fiber shaft.
“Tiger by far has the best Tips in the world. The Fortis Carbon Fiber shaft, I’m in love with that and I can’t wait to play with the HD Series Cue. I just really believe in the products, the cues and tips and everything else. For me Tiger is a sleeping giant, very underrated let’s say in the industry. I’m just so excited to get involved and get my teeth into it and hopefully I can help Tiger as much as they can help me,” Appleton said.
For over 25 years, Tiger has been committed to bringing innovation, craftsmanship and technology to billiards. From inventing the Leather Stack Wrap technology to being one of the original laminated cue tip manufacturers, Tiger products have help set world records, win championships and are proudly made in the USA.
