Full Version: Adam Scott
As I was looking through pictures of Getty I noticed Adam does not have the big Burberry logos on his clothes this week. Does anyone know anything? I remember hearing rumors at the beginning of the year but never saw anything official. Any ideas?
Burberry is no longer making "Golf" clothing.
I thought that I read somewhere that he switched...I think it was even a clothing company associated with a non-titleist golf brand. This immediately started a discussion about him getting ready to switch from Titleist and cameron. As for official announcements, I haven't seen anything but that doesn't mean much.
I tried looking for something but all I could find were the articles from earlier this year saying that they thought he was switching to ashworth.

Burberry Golf is out of business according to a friend who is a golf retailer.

Don't Know From Adam
The urge to move from the subjunctive to the indicative is strong. Contrary to speculation in this space last month, the Australian professional Adam Scott is not switching his apparel sponsorship to Ashworth Inc. He and his agents seriously considered the move — and a deal was fairly well set — but in the end Titleist, his ball and equipment sponsor, upped the ante and he renewed his contract with them, according to executives at Ashworth and Titleist/Acushnet.
Scott will continue to play Titleist equipment, wear its headgear and don FootJoy (a division of Acushnet) shoes and rain gear. He does not, therefore, have an overall apparel sponsor. Curiously, Titleist does not make golf fashions per se (shirts and trousers), but it probably does not want its brand to compete with others on Scott's physical being. He continues to wear Burberry clothing, although he is no longer paid by Burberry to do so.
In this age of golf star multi-branding, Scott's situation is not unique. Very few golfers have major head-to-toe apparel contracts like Tiger Woods (Nike) and Sergio Garcia (Adidas/TaylorMade). And there are all kinds of strange apparel loopholes. For example, Phil Mickelson doesn't have an apparel contract, but he wears custom-made golf clothes from England, which typically bear the logos of sponsors like Callaway and Barclays, per agreement. Davis Love III is sponsored by Titleist for his equipment, but he wears Polo/Ralph Lauren clothes.
To a top player, a golf apparel deal can be worth $1 million — an amount for which many of us would gladly play naked on TV.

Ralph Lauren/Polo would be very wise to sign Adam to a contract. As much as i like DL^3, there is no way he would have a greater impact selling the POLO brand compared to Adam Scott and even Luke Donald.

As mentioned above he already signed with Ashworth
The new Ashworth ASHW33 line is some very cool stuff. Nick Watney has been wearing it, seems to cater to a younger crowd. I was at a Ashworth factory store and walked out with two bags full.
Everything I just researched online says he has signed a deal with Ashworth/Taylor Made for clothing and will not be wearing the Burberry label anymore.
I never understood the Burberry golf thing with Scott, do not get me wrong, they make great clothes and Scott is just about the best golf "model" you could hire for showcasing your brand but they never seemed to advertise them to the general public nor did they make what he wore very available to the masses. Just seemed pointless to me. Not to mention the fact that when they did make something available to the public that he wore while playing, the cost was absolutely rediculous for a golf shirt, sweater or pair of pants. Just not that practical to the majority of the golfing public. I am sure that is why they decided to opt out with AS as well. Probably not making any money compared to what they pay him.
IMO, they make the best fitting and most durable polo shirt ever. Just wish they were cheaper!

Maybe i didn't read it correctly, but the article said Titleist upped the offer to keep him from wearing Ashworth.

If that's indeed the case, then i stand by my original comment that Ralph Lauren would be foolish not to sign Adam.
He certainly was not inlcuded in the press release Ashworth sent out about the players they signed so he evidently is not with them.
