About Robert J. Bettinardi

Born in Chicago, Robert Bettinardi carries on a family tradition of quality metal craft.  His father, a master miller as well, gave Robert his early exposure to the field of engineering.  From the age of 12 on, his summers were spent working in his father’s machining facility learning the craft from the ground up.  He would go on to receive his degree from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and would later open his own engineering and milling facility, X-Cel Technologies in Tinley Park, IL, producing parts for the defense and medical industries.

An avid golfer even as a young man, Bettinardi combined his passions and began crafting One-Piece Technology putters in the early 90’s, and founded Bettinardi Golf in 1998.

Through his dedication to precision and innovation, the Bettinardi name has become synonymous with quality in the world of golf.
