Equipment contract changes for PGA Tour Pros 2017/18

[Langlands]

Fleetwood has been using a Titleist driver for the last 6 weeks or so, looks like he might have made the switch to a full bag and they haven't had time to get a tour bag ready so gave him a pencil bag instead.

 

Commentator on Sky yesterday said that Fleetwood's caddie had switched to a pencil bag for the 1st round as part of the plain black tour bag he was carrying had melted in the fierce SA sun and had stuck to him!

Looking at the images on Getty he still has Nike blades in the bag as well.

It's that time of year. Who's got the inside info? I don't want to wait till Hawaii to see who's caring a different bag . We all know Sergio should be a done deal, but were are the other free agents going.

[lc1342]

Pretty much confirms Sergio. Most knew he was testing Callaway equipment already though.

Nothing earth shattering, but Brian Harman has a Scotty in the bag this week instead of the TM putter he's used for awhile.

I think he’s still using vapor fly pro 3 wood and still has Nike irons.

He plays the cb irons also

[DRRicks]

Saw that Dufner signed and gave away a few of his irons (looked like mid-irons) at the end of the tourney. Guessing that means he's making a move soon.

Did he still have the 716s in the bag? May be making the change to the 718 as well, if that was the case.

[J13]

Duf needs to do something to shake it up.

They were 718.

I'm a Dufner fan, it just worries me anytime someone leaves the Pro V1 behind. Always seems to cause problems.

Payed no attention, just was my first thought, thanks for clearing that up.

I have seen a few guys do that before. Day recently did that as well but he is locked in with Taylormade.

I saw he put the 718's in the bag this week, maybe he just didn't like them and is going back to 716's. Could also be making a big move though

He could still play the Pro-V1 if he stops playing Titleist clubs.

[bucky316]

based on the WITB pics at the QBE, looks like Kyle Stanley played a sack of Titleists...didn't see the woods though ... might be similar to Woodland with Titleists except for TaylorMade woods

Rumour is he is moving to Mizuno

Anyone know if Fleetwood is signing with Titleist for 2018? Would love to see him playing the brand.

Nothing official for it at the moment just rumor. One thing that I note is how much publicity Titleist gave when Fleetwood won the Race to Dubai. I know that he signed up to use the V1x but Titleist certainly weren't shy in making sure that people knew that that was what he was playing this season.

Titleist does this with anybody that wins a big tournament or the like. Not really out of the ordinary.

Disagree - if someone using a V1 wins and they are not a staffer, they are usually included in amongst all of the other guys that used a Pro V1 and won that week. With Fleetwood, certainly here in Europe, there were a number of different promotional pieces and social media posts, much more than there would be usually.

[CStephenson17]

Maybe not as much equipment related, but it looks as if Kellum Kraft is wearing Greyson, Morgan Hoffmann’s brand, this year. Which is less notable than Luke Donald also being in the same picture next to Morgan at the Greyson Christmas party. While not huge news, would be notable if Luke parted ways with Ralph Lauren. And a typically stylish pick up for Greyson

[iBanesto]

Heard a rumour from someone at Cobra this week that they have a men's top 10 player in the world coming on staff for 2018.

 

Koepka? I know he's Nike apparel though.

 

Stenson, no idea on his contract.

 

Hideki, last I heard had a G400 in the bag.

 

Thomas, maybe?

 

Surely Srixon have got to resign Matsuyama or another Japanese related brand.

I agree. He's got to be a very, very valuable face of the brand in Japan

Luke is also going to Greyson. And he will have a new shoe deal as well. Hmm....what could it be?

GFore would be a solid fit

[webber]

Luke Donald moves the needle. Lmfao. Guy is a stiff. His game is even stiffer. Done. Put a fork in him.

[Mcgeeno]

Donald hasnt won anything since 2013.

 

He isnt moving any needles nowadays.

[ea19]

Website says Greyson was founded by former SVP from Ralph L, so that connection & move makes sense.
