Equipment contract changes for PGA Tour Pros 2017/18

[GC70]

Looks like Hideki is still with Srixon

Don't be surprised to see Hideki to sign with Callaway

That would be a big blow to Srixon!

Reed is no longer listed on Callaway's PGA tour roster

Nothing against Patrick but I don't think this is a big loss for Callaway. He always seemed to be flirting with other manufacturers. Almost never played the current Callaway driver offering. And it doesn't help that he is polarizing as a player. Not the kind of guy you want to build your staff list around.

No loss for Callaway! He left Nike because he couldn’t get a ball made for him and couldn’t wear red on Sundays.

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

 

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

 

Honestly I love the RLX shirts. So comfortable.

Didn't Reed have some PXG in his bag last year? He'd fit in there.

yes....and IIRC (thanx to WRX's WITB reports!) he later replaced the PXG with a Titleist driving iron....and he bagged a Vokey lob wedge

I get the impression Patrick Reed wasn't very easy to work with. And I don't think he was a big loss either.

 

I have no idea why, but I still pull for him. :censored2:

Are we slowly seeing an shift in the OEM hierarchy? TM losing some higher profile guys lately and Callaway picking up more guys?

I think his team play (Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup) has really won people over. Have to admit I look at him completely different now.

Seems like TM still has the majority of the highest profile guys.

TM has Rahm,Rory,Day,Tiger,Rose,and DJ which are all big guns but callaway is certainly expanding with young guys such as Berger,Schauffele,Rodgers,Pieters, Hadwin,Schniederjans,Gribble,Wise and Grillo and vets like Furyk,Sergio,Phil, and Stenson certainly add fire power to them. Both companies have great staffs

Taylormade staff was STACKED last year so I'm not surprised to see a few guys jump to other companies. If you go to the Taylormade Tour Players page they currently only show 7 players...DJ, Rory, J Day, Rose, Rahm, Big Cat and Paula Creamer.

[bucky316]

Adidas sold Taylor Made to KPS Capital Partners in May, 2017.... KPS is in the making money business, not the golf equipment manufacturing business.... my guess is KPS is stripping expenses in order to make Taylor Made more marketable to a prospective buyer

[cvhookem63]

Looks like Koepka is still playing TM woods - or at least the M4 driver anyway

 

[wrxman]

Fabian Gomez to Greyson?

[msonaglioni]

Fabian Gomez to Greyson?

 

He's been with Greyson since last season

[Holy Moses]

I wear RLX polos, but their collars are bad. They don't stay down. They don't curl up, but they don't look normal. I think that's RLX's intention for some reason.

[wrxman]

Fabian Gomez to Greyson?

Could have sworn he was with Adidas. But guess I'm wrong.

[jmvargas]

what is the typical equipment contract like for the average PGA tour pro?

 

i'm assuming it covers unlimited support service for clubs including balls for those like Titleist,Bridgestone,TM etc.. who also carry balls but what if you only like to use their clubs but not anything else in their line..

[Aaronwilson_95]

Looks like si woo signed with callaway

[Lesmond]

Looks like si woo signed with callaway

 

Yes. Along with Nike footwear and Peter Millar.

[Garush34]

Any news on where Chris Wood is going?

[Scooterboy59]

Hudson Swafford- Callaway is loading up!

[zonacats23]

No club deal for Patrick Reed this year.

[Golf64]

Be interesting to see what he puts in the bag?! Mizuno irons!? TM woods?

Interesting that he went back to Nike for apparel. Wonder if they reached some agreement about the red?

[Scooterboy59]

It would be interesting to hear the back stories on why they changed and the process, or if they were not picked up for this year. Any inside info out there. Read on Twitter about Xander Schauffele .

Wow, I didn’t see that!

[wldchld22]

Yup just sick clothes!

[grahamc]

Not overly earth-shattering, but Jonas Blixt has moved from Puma to J Lindeberg

[cvhookem63]

Patrick Reed, Chris Wood, Cameron Champ, and Jimmy Stranger signed deals with Nike. Alex Noren signed head to toe deal (getting rid of the Callaway hat). Si Woo Kim and Lee Westwood wearing footwear only.
