[Lesmond]

Also, not equipment related, but Si Woo Kim appears to be on Nike Golf apparel and footwear for 2018.

Luke Donald and S W Kim changing clothing sponsor...come on world of golf, give us something more interesting than this please!

 

In people sticking where they are, Jonathan Wall had Justin Thomas saying that his only equipment change going into 2018 will be trying out SM7's. There had been suggestions that his deal with Titleist was due for renewal. Good bit of business from Titleist if they have resigned him.

 

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

 

When I think Luke Donald, I think RLX and Mizuno. Seems to have been with them for ever, it will be different not having him in Ralph Lauren any longer but really, it feels like the only time we ever see him these days is at the RBC Heritage.

Luke taking a deep cut

[MattyO1984]

Anyone have any idea, how much Luke Donald would have been getting paid by Ralph Lauren?

 

Read on Undercover Pro that something low five figures is about right for middling PGA Tour players, Donald wasn't one of those but fair to say that he is now.

Donald still gets lots of TV time & that's a huge factor to endorsers like Ralph Lauren.... because that's what sells their clothes

 

Donald is getting rewarded for the player he once was..... not for the player he is now

He's hardly alone in that category.

Agree. Quite a few players in that category like Keagan Bradley, GMac, Adam Scott, ect...

I accept that he has been rewarded for his past achievements. That said I can't imagine that the offer from Mr Lauren was anything like it was before! He has gone from World #1 and a top 10 machine to battling potential has been status. I hope that for him and Greyson that he reverses that but if he was still at the top of his game, I can't imagine that Ralph Lauren would have been letting him slip away.

[green.tea]

Recognize Ralph Lauren is also paying Justin Thomas and is likely to shell out big time in that department.

Scott would be the only one to compare. Both former OWGR #1s

[linkerpan]

Donald has a great deal of exposure in England, where Lauren sells very good.

[brkuck]

Donald is still a name even though he isnt the player he once was. Still a good dude that may crack a top 10 every so often and wont be in the spotlight in a negative manner.

 

Its a safe partnership for RL.

Sounds like Jonathan Wall has a list compiled of players signing equipment deals, but he is staying tight lipped about them until they become official.

[thevaporz]

Donald can't chip, can't putt. Lost cause. People still wear RL?

[Jigga]

Luke just posted on his Instagram and he was wearing RLX and FJ. Couldn have been an old video though.

[hehateme2285]

I can't see Srixon letting Hideki go anywhere

[MattyO1984]

His deal probably runs until 31st December as well.

Then what’s the point? I’ll come out with my own list once it becomes official.

3rd in SG putting and 7th around the greens last year. Yes, people still wear RLX.

Guys wearing RL had a pretty good year last year. And by guys I mean JT. Plus remember the Ryder Cup gear in ‘16? RLX. So yes. They do.

I'm wondering if Ralph Lauren will pick up someone else to wear either Polo or RLX in particular. RLX is down to Billy Ho and Manassero who is pretty anonymous these days.

Xander Schauffele is a good fit. But with JT playing well, RL and RLX really needs no one else.

Lol...shooting down cold takes

He will be wearing different shoes. Half of golfwrx will lose their mind because they think its stupid. The other will lose their mind because they think its awesome. And if their is anyone else left, theyll say, who cares, he sucks now.

[zonacats23]

Here ya go

[Golfingfanatic]

He is good friends with MJ. His pair looks a lot better than keegans, too.

[b.helts]

Schauffele signed with Callaway.

[MattyO1984]

Here ya go

 

Remember those columns you were talking about? Put me in the first one. Looks like a middle aged golfer trying to relive his youth...oh hang on a second...

[AlexMac]

The big talk after the main Australian events is Adam Scott to PXG. Makes sense to grow in Asia and leverage his popularity off the back of his Uniqlo sponsorship.

 

Would be weird not to see him playing Titleist though!

This one would shock me. They dont make a "blade" iron.
