[2] Popular musician-golfer Murray Arnold shared in 1960 that the clubhead, on striking the ball, rings out with the 440 pitch used in tuning pianos.

Acceptance came when Julius Boros won the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open, using Solheim's "Anser" putter in early 1967.

[7] Later that year, Solheim resigned from G.E., moved his business from his garage to a factory and established Karsten Manufacturing Corporation (KMC) makers of the Ping brand of clubs in Phoenix, Arizona.

[9] During a White House meeting between President Donald Trump and Norwegian Prime minister Erna Solberg on January 10, 2018, Solberg gave Trump a Ping "Bergen" Putter as a gift as a symbol of the close ties between the nations, and the history of Norwegian immigration to the United States.

Born in Norway, Ping's founder Karsten Solheim was from Austrheim, outside Bergen;[10] as a toddler, he moved with his family to Seattle, Washington.

Beginning about 1980, Ping began offering their fitting program based on a checklist of the player's physical characteristics, common problems, and distances.

The 2011 checklist at the Ping website contained approximately 100 data inputs and was part of a 5-step fitting process covering everything from driver to putter.

[13] Ping has maintained endorsement deals with many professional golfers playing on the leading tours, including Tony Finau, Viktor Hovland, Louis Oosthuizen, Sahith Theegala, Bubba Watson and Lee Westwood.
