PGA Tour Equipment/Endorsement Changes
When January 1 rolls around each year, new player endorsement deals are unveiled. Some players may swap out apparel outfitters while others may opt to sign on with a new club manufacturers. As new deals and changes are announced, we will update them here.
Justin Rose
After spending 20 years playing Taylormade clubs, Justin Rose has signed on with Japanese club manufacturer Honma. This move was rumored for months but was made official this morning when Rose posted this photograph on his social media accounts.
Golf Digest reports that this partnership is a multi-year deal for ten (10) clubs.
Gary Woodland
Last year, golf fans noticed that Woodland was no longer sporting his trademark Under Armour gear, and instead had switched to Puma. This year, golf fans who tuned into the Sentry Tournament of Champions not only saw Woodland nearly pull off the win but do so with new clubs.
Woodland is the newest member of the Wilson golf family. Wilson does not boast a large stable of tour ambassadors and Woodland immediately becomes the biggest name to play their clubs.
Charle Howell III
If you were watching some golf from Hawaii and the So y Open, you might have seen a former PXG touring pro with some new clubs. Charles Howell III has left the Parsons company and is now a Titleist brand ambassador.
Tommy Fleetwood
Over the weekend, Fleetwood was spotted using some new irons. Ever since Nike discontinued manufacturing clubs, Fleetwood was still sporting Nike blades. It looks like he has found some new clubs with a familiar name. Fleetwood is seen here using Taylormade’s P-7TW irons - a prototype designed with Tiger Woods.
Rickie Fowler
After years of being a top-promoted Titleist player, Rickie Fowler will begin his 2019 season with a different ball in the bag. When Rick tees it up in San Diego this week, he will be playing a Taylormade TP5 golf ball. According to Golf Magazine, Rickie made the switch after consulting with Dustin Johnson.
