I am a big fan of Cink, but I am not a big fan of TM. Oh well. Nice pickups IMHO.

He was with Adams before that, so not much of a move - still part of the TM family.

Slightly surprised at Brian Davis, as he only signed with Titleist last year. Good move for TM though, quality player.

[Lefty94]

Moore is interesting to me. He has long been a guy who plays whatever he wants. HEnce his Adams deal that didn't include a single Adams club, except for the YES putter he occasionally threw in the bag. It will be interesting to see if he goes with a full 14 TM club bag.

I also find it funny that up until about 2 years ago he was the anti-corporate guy and he was going to be that guy how doesn't work for the corporations. Now just 2 short years later he is part of the biggest corporate/hype team in golf. YOu know what they say....$$$ talks.

P.S. I actually like Ryan Moore and always enjoy follwing him when I get to events.

[smgoldstein]

Moore really bounces around and his image is constantly changing-small companies to big companies. Looses some credibility in my eyes as a pitchman.

[monkeynaut]

Moore makes total sense. The guy changes clubs faster than he changes underwear, which is not as fast as TMAG markets their new clubs.

[tnord]

i like having moore with the new palmer stuff last year....now he's just another addidas schill.

[Hattori Hanzo]

Was Rock not already with TM? I feel like I remember him bagging some R9 TPs a few years back...

Should any of them really have credibility when they're paid to use these products?

I think more credible is guys like Rocco or KJ, playing what they actually like the most. Or when guys don't have the full bag contract and have clubs in there not from their main sponsor.

I thought he played Titleist MBs, may be mistaken though

[thatboygaule]

[tommyrobson]

He isn't playing many of their clubs... just the woods and putter I think.  Ping irons, Vokey wedges, ProV1 ball

Pretty sure he's been playing 2007 x forged for ages. Wonder if he'll have to wear a hat ?

He's been playing an older set of Callaway X Tours for a while now, plus an R11 driver - he probably won't have to change any clubs under this new deal.

He tweeted yesterday that he will be making themove to new equipment over the next few weeks, as he becomes more familiar with it.

[MAllen]

How cynical ha ha

[mr_duffer]

Wonder how long Moore will stay with TM. He's not very loyal IMO.

Got ya. Glad he is not rocking the ugly R1 driver (according to his the Twitter profile).

[MEC13]

Does anyone know a good site that shows what taylormade is paying these guys? Would love to see how much the deals are worth and the components of each deal.

[Ness]

I think TaylorMade gets a lot of guys due to their lenient contracts. I haven't seen anything, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Moore and Huh sticking with their Ping irons from last season. Similar to the way D.A. Points does.

[golf_junkie27]

Most of the guys on this list don't get enough air time for the casual viewer to notice what exactly is in the bag.  What I mean by that is they won't show the caddy putting down the bag, discussing the shot, going through the routine and then taking their swing.  Most of these guys fall under "let's go to X" and then "X" player takes their swing.  If they all carry the bag and wear any type of apparel, it will be enough for TM.
