TaylorMade signs Matthew Wolff to a multi-year deal; Wolff WITB

Published

on

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.

    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.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
