He put a Fubuki 60x into play for a few tournaments around the time as the Oban Proto.

Good call, I think he played it for 2 rounds at The Players... didn't last long. I think the only shafts that ever made it for more than a tournament or two after steel (actually I think just an entire 4 round event) were Blueboard 83, Whiteboard 83 and now DI-6.

Looks like he is using an older fairway wood

Yup, the SQ lives on...

Great pics, thanks!

[dmh81]

wonder if and when were going to see Tiger gaming the new driver, it should also be interesting to see if he goes with the new FW woods. I have heard all the new Nike woods are pretty incredible

[jmcdonald]

Its going to take something incredible to kick the SQ 5 wood out his bag! He loves that thing

[jdepyper]

anyone know if he's keeping the vr tour or going with the covert this year?

Million dollar question, I would bet on the VR.

I cannot see TW playing a red driver. He is to much of a traditionalist IMO.

[jdepyper]

I'm going to say the vr as well. i firmly believe that it does not matter which equipment tiger plays because everyone already buys nike products because he is nike golf.

[scratchswinger]

He has played the VR for what 3 years now? He drove the ball really well last year, I just don't think he will change. I don't think it has anything to do with performance or color. Just a comfort level.

yeah for sure

I have heard that all the Nike players are contractually obligated to play a Covert wood with no exceptions. This also applies to Mr. Woods but he will have some time to put it in the bag.

I can't cite the source so take this with a grain of salt.

I don't know. I just don't see TW swinging a red headed driver head.

Well, you didn't say Covert Driver...so maybe he uses a fairway wood?

So they re-wrote Tiger's original contract to include this clause? Seems a bit odd to me.

seems to me that tiger can play whatever he wants as long as its made by nike. doesn't he own shares in nikegolf? so wouldn't he get to make his own decisions?

[/quote]A very small grain of salt indeed

[ALEXtheGREAT]

He has been playing the same old Nike One Ball for years now, hasn't changed. I wouldn't see him changing his VR Driver or SQ Fairway.

[SethO]

I reckon time will tell. Personally, I would not be surprised if we never see any red club in Tiger's bag. I was just repeating what I heard elsewhere. Like I said, grain of salt.

[tw18majors]

Tiger just said in his presser no equipment changes this year, per @GCTigerTracker

[scratchswinger]

I would be willing to bet that Nike staffers have a set of rules and TW has a set of rules.

Just because he is a shareholder doesn't mean he can play whatever he wants, need to look at what his contract states. Anyone can be a shareholder if they want, not everyone will get a contract from Nike.

Probably the new staffers are required by contract. Schwartzel won with the 2010 Vr Tour and even Ross Fisher has the 2012 Vr LTD in the bag.
