Six PGA TOUR Players Sign with TaylorMade

TaylorMade is known as one of the best designers of golf equipment on the market. And to help promote their brand even further the golf brand has added six PGA TOUR pros into their stable of endorsements.

The six players that TaylorMade added to use their new M1 model drivers and fairway woods are Smylie Kaufman, Paul Casey, Nick Watney, Seung-Yul Noh, Kyle Stanley and Jon Curran. On top of these new endorsers, TaylorMade is already led by the no. 1 golfer in the world, Jason Day, Olympic Gold Medalist, Justin Rose, and former U.S. Open Champion Dustin Johnson.

The biggest of the new endorsers looks to be Casey, as he has found a lot of success on the Tour. He has won on the PGA TOUR on 16 different occasions and has also been a member of the European Ryder Cup team for the past three events. Casey is also currently ranked as the no. 15 player in the world.

Casey had previously been a supporter of Nike clubs but with the company announcing they would not be making any more clubs, Casey has found a new home with TaylorMade. While he has signed on to play TaylorMade’s driver and fairway woods, Casey is still planning to use his Nike irons and wedges.

Smylie Kaufman also looks to be a big endorsement for TaylorMade after a quick start to his professional career. Since becoming a professional in 2015, Kaufman has won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and had four top-ten finishes in other Tour events. If Kaufman continues to build on that success, he will become an even stronger endorser for the company.

TaylorMade seems happy with the players they now have contracts with. The company said in a statement that, “We’re thrilled to welcome these six men into the TaylorMade family as our newest Tour staff ambassadors. It goes without saying each of their accomplishments speak for themselves and we look forward to watching them succeed while playing the highest performing products in the world out on Tour.”

While it will remain to be seen how well of an investment TaylorMade has made in these six players, if they are able to perform at a high level on the PGA TOUR TaylorMade will just look that much better.
