Callaway has signed one of golf’s brightest young stars to an equipment deal, 23-year-old Daniel Berger.

Berger, the No. 34-ranked golfer in the Official World Golf Rankings, was previously signed to TaylorMade-Adidas. He recorded his first PGA Tour victory at the 2016 St. FedEx St. Jude Classic, and finished T10 in the 2016 Masters. He also notably finished T2 at the 2016 WGC-HSBC Champions event in China.

“I joined the Callaway Tour Staff because of the equipment,” Berger said in a Callaway press release. “And more than anything I wanted to play the new [Epic] driver. I’m excited for the year to get underway.”

According to a Callaway press release, Berger will use Callaway clubs, golf balls, gloves and an Odyssey putter. He joins a stable of young Callaway staffers including Patrick Reed, 2016 Masters Champion Danny Willett, Wesley Bryan, Ollie Schniederjans, Ryo Ishikawa, Branden Grace and Thomas Pieters.

According to a report, Rory McIlroy will also be playing a number of Callaway golf clubs when he tees it up next week in South Africa the European Tour, including the new GBB Epic Sub Zero driver.

    Already in the top 10-
    for arrogance and entitlement.

    Berger doesn’t even like his own swing.

    Good signing. If he hadn’t gotten hurt last year I bet he would be ranked top 25.

Photos from the 2024 PGA Championship

Published

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.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. 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.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.
