Callaway Golf has announced six new additions to its Tour Staff for 2015.
The fresh faces include:
- Scott Brown (from Nike)
- Kevin Kisner (from TaylorMade)
- Jason Kokrak (from Cleveland)
- Kenny Perry (from Adams)
Callaway’s 2015 Tour Staff also includes seven Web.com Tour graduates: Adam Hadwin, Tony Finau, Colt Knost, Sam Saunders, Jonathan Randolph, Andres Gonzalez and Derek Fathauer.
The company’s PGA Tour roster has doubled since 2012, when it included 15 PGA full-time players. The Callaway stable now includes 31 PGA Tour staffers — among the most popular being Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson, Jim Furyk, Gary Woodland and Patrick Reed. Callaway will also sponsor 24 players from the European Tour, an all-time high for the company.
On the women’s side, LPGA players Belen Mozo and Stephanie Meadow joined Team Callaway.

Photos from the 2024 PGA Championship
GolfWRX is on site this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship.
While we see fewer equipment changes and new gear seeding at major championships, we get a look at custom gear and looks into the bags of players we rarely see, which is just as exciting. In the case of the PGA Championship, this means a look at the gear some of the PGA Professionals who qualified for the tournament will be gaming, and LIV players, such as Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.
Check out links to all our albums from Valhalla below and check back throughout the week as we continue to update.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Hey all: WOW callaway has been on a roll the last few years signing up players for their tour staff. Looks like all those that thought Callaways demise was near are singing a different toon today. P..S. is Kenny Perry’s signing a reflection on the uncertainty of his previous sponsor Adams or was his contract just up?

I switched to Callaway equipment this past fall. It has seriously gotten good with their latest releases. I have been very impressed. I was always a Titleist fan, but Callaway is just hard to beat right now.

I’m shocked that your name isn’t on the list above.

Get fit for the Callaway product. Nothing touches it right now in the market. I run a performance center and this is a non-biased opinion from what I see with my customers. I agree they have put out a lot of product lately, but each offering is better than the last. They also have special buy back programs if you bought the 2014 product and want an upgrade.
Callaway is the best brand out right now all around.

I actually play Cobras just because I think they’re cool, but I am a former Ping employee and have lots of contacts at Ping. I have nothing against Callaway, but I don’t believe there is another company that can touch Ping for design, quality control or customer service. I’ve dealt with Callaway customer service – OK, but not even in the same league as Ping.

Too many new products. The consumer buys a club and six months it is obsolete. My goal last year was to not buy any new equipment. I almost made it. New trusty rusty wedges and driving iron. “It’s not the arrow it’s the indian.” I love that one.

Only Taylormade follows a 6-month product cycle. Almost all other manufacturers follow a 12 month cycle, titleist is a 24 month cycle. And “older” clubs are far from obsolete, the trick is to not listen to the marketing machines.

It’s all about variety. Go through a fitting and pick a Callaway product, variety is never a problem.

I remember not so long ago there was an overwhelming sense that Callaway was on its’ deathbed. This turnaround has been a pleasant surprise. Well done Callaway!

Turn around? If by releasing 14 drivers in the last 2.5 years means turnaround, then sure! The way the market and do business is really off putting. No interest in them anymore.
Ron

They did what they had to stay relevant and it worked. I’m sure they won’t miss your “interest” anymore.
