2019 Equipment Contract Changes

[grahamc]

As above b-man777, looks like Bonobos for apparel, unsure on shoes at the moment.

[CStephenson17]

Hey all.: Now that we know Rose is going to Honda the next big question will be what shoe and appeal deal(s) will he have? Thanks

 

Bonobos

[zonadub]

It’s not necessarily that bc Tour Pro Steve plays a brand you will buy it. The player endorsement’s true value is the constant marketing of that brand on Saturday and Sundays from 2-6p and the highlight shows all week after.

 

It’s rarely a straight line; more of a constant drip to at least get you to “think” of their brand when it comes time to make a purchasing decision.

 

This. ^^^^^

[MattyO1984]

Fabian Gomez has gone to Titleist. Don't get too excited!

He still wore the adipure spikeless shoe in the promo pictures for Honma. Maybe shoe only deal with adidas?

[averysdad]

Woodland not using the Cortex.

 

 

Dang...that would’ve been a coup for Wilson.

Yeah but can you imagine how long he is with the G400 ?

[averysdad]

^^stupid long I’m sure

[GC70]

What’s going on with Paul Casey? I heard rumors about him going to Honma also?

[collindm1]

And Toulon putter!

 

Molinari? Isn't he a brand ambassador for Bettinardi?

Any final word on Sneds?

[Holy Moses]

Any final word on Sneds?

 

Bridgestone bag gone. Workday bag and hat. Same Bridgestone irons. I heard a Ping G400 driver. I can't imagine the Odyssey leaving the bag.

Guess the Betti deal is done now and he’s full bag Callaway and Odyssey Toulon. Golf ball is the wild card.

Wow - can't believe switching up the putter after the year he had. Thanks!

[OldTomMorris]

^^ Seems odd but having gotten some insight into Team Molinari's approach and analytics via Denis Pugh on Sky Sports I'm 100% convinced its all planned to the finest detail.

[andrieddle]

Wonder how much he's getting from Callaway that he signed with them after the year he had......

Molinari is proof that these guys value money over success and what "works".

 

Cannot believe he is switching anything after having the year he just had...

Now there is a good change for 2019, no more Denis Pugh on Sky Sports!

Can you blame him? This deal probably sets his family up for generations to come and it's not like he's going to an unproven company. He's going to Callaway, this isn't like going to Wilson woods and a Volvik ball.

I doubt Callaway is paying Molinari "generational" type money. If they didn't shell out for Rory last year, I sincerely doubt that they would back up the Brinks truck for Francesco.

It is guaranteed money whatever the dollar amount is. Molinari's stock will never be this high, he has to take the money if offered.

You can't blame the guy for taking the contract to play one of the top OEMs clubs.

This times a million. Continued success is never a guarantee. Guaranteed money is. I have no idea what he's getting paid to play, but I wouldn't be surprise if it's in the low seven figures range. Seeing as winning any professional tournament is extremely hard, how many tournaments would Francesco have to grind in just to win $1M? Looking back at his number over the past few years, 2018 was an anomaly where he made over $5M in PGA TOUR events. In 2017, he made $2.8M. For 2014-2016, he wasn't even in the top 100 on the PGA TOUR money list (couldn't immediately find the Euro Tour list so I'm leaving that out - feel free to look it up for me).

 

Will he find the new sticks hard to work with? Maybe, but I'd take the money and roll the dice too.

Here you go, prize money going back to 2013 for Frankie:

 

Year Rank Official Prize Money

 

2018 1 4,100,889

2017 9 2,037,703

2016 19 1,494,932

2015 32 1,051,251

2014 35 992,915

2013 13 1,367,566

 

I agree it makes sense to take the money now, the chances of him repeating this form over any other year in his career is unlikely. Might as well cash in while he can.

 

Edit: the table changed format when posting, hopefully it show correctly now.

[Langlands]

No reason to think that Moliari won't play just as well with Callaway clubs, given that he had only just switched to TM the season or so before. I am surprised at the putter change though, is that a club Callaway would insist on being part of the deal?
