TaylorMade signs Matthew Wolff to a multi-year deal; Wolff WITB
TaylorMade Golf has officially announced the signing of Matthew Wolff on a multi-year agreement that will see the 20-year-old play the company’s metal woods, irons, wedges, putter and ultimately, TaylorMade’s flagship golf ball, the TP5x.
Wolff had previously unveiled that he would be making his professional debut at this week’s Travelers Championship, and just as top prospect Collin Morikawa did earlier at this month’s Canadian Open, Wolff will do so as a TaylorMade staffer.
The NCAA All-American and 2019 NCAA Division I individual champion made his debut on the PGA Tour at the Waste Management Phoenix Open earlier this year where he finished T50 after opening his week with a round of five-under par.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness
New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.
The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.
For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.
While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.
A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.
A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.
You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

Good to see the P750’s in his bag
Great irons and they won’t be leaving my bag anytime soon

Unless he’s Tiger or Rory, he’s not getting a major deal. Wolff has the potential though, great game, unique swing that has people talking, great distance, and already placed 50 in his first pro tournament. He’s good, and he’s going to get paid. I think most golfers make the bulk of their cash on tour though.
It’s nice to have staff fully tuning the clubs to your liking. Also not have to worry about what to wear each day at the tournament lol.

He’s had all that support at OSU and is not changing any clubs

Not sure what he was playing at OSU but if it wasn’t Taylormade, it might take a little while for him to get accustomed to his clubs. I am sure he will do well and wish him well also. Looks like the real deal to me.

I read another article that said the contracts for the college kids are over 100k guarantees

How much does a new college grad usually sign for with a company? Obviously skill level matters here but is someone like Wolff getting millions or hundreds of thousands?

All the range balls he can handle and a couple of used wedges. All kidding aside, I’d guess not a lot at first with some performance incentives. Perhaps $50-100K with bonuses for top 10’s or wins. Obviously full access to equipment and tweaking etc. It’s got to be a real bonus to have direct and easy access to all the tech and data of a major manufacturer vs. having to go out and figure it all out on your own with your own equipment or someone else’s. IMO that’s more important at this point than any money he’s going to receive at this early stage.

He is getting more than one might think here. He is projected big! He has been a TM player but it wasn’t automatic.

Investment paid off already. This guy has the length to compete on any course. Another Genkas player.
