Gary Woodland announces new equipment deal with Wilson
Alongside Justin Rose’s move to Honma, the worst-kept secret during this season of equipment changes is finally out, as in the last hour, Gary Woodland confirmed his new deal with Wilson Golf.
Woodland took to Instagram to announce the news, after experimenting with Wilson’s clubs over the past few months.
Wilson Golf president Tim Clarke, while talking to Golf.com about Woodland’s new deal, confirmed that the big-hitter had been a target of theirs for some time and on hearing that the 34-year-old was open to signing a new equipment deal, stated
“We jumped at the chance to talk and he was receptive to trying some of our stuff out. It started with the prototype blades and kind of went from there.”
Per Golf.com’s report, Woodland will play at least 10 of the company’s clubs this season.
Of those clubs, it appears unlikely that Woodland will use Wilson’s new Cortex driver, at least not at this moment, however there is the possibility. Speaking on the prospect of Woodland perhaps putting the club in play at some point in the future, Clarke stated
“There are incentives (in the contract). The driver is one of those clubs, and Gary does have a Cortex driver with him in Hawaii. Obviously, the goal would be to have him as a marquee brand ambassador and get him in as many products as possible. And that would be inclusive of the golf ball at some point.”
Woodland is expected to use Ping’s G400 driver during round one of the Sentry Tournament of Champions, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye on his bag.

Sleeping on the lead feels like you’re waiting to be sentenced in the morning, and in a way you are, because losing is a form of prison and winning is freedom, if only for a day or a week, from the insecurities of sport. https://t.co/LbyNKYQA4E

Hmmmmmm…..
Great idea.
The juxtaposition with golf would be so cartoonish it would be impossible to ignore how long the frog has been in the water. https://t.co/NOnDCN1EgY

At GolfWRX, we love golf equipment plain and simple
We are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment for the game in many ways. It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball, it even allows us to share another thing – the equipment itself.
One of the best ways to enjoy equipment is to experiment and whether you are looking to buy-sell-or trade (as the name suggests) you can find almost anything in the GolfWRX BST Forum. From one-off custom Scotty Cameron Circle T putters, to iron sets, wedges, and barely hit drivers, you can find it all in our constantly updated marketplace.
These are some of the latest cool finds from the GolfWRX BST, and if you are curious about the rules to participate in the BST Forum you can check them out here: GolfWRX BST Rules

Wilson is back with some great stuff. I have to laugh at the ignorant comments from people who know nothing about clubs. If it ain’t Callaway,, Taylor Made, Titleist, Ping, it ain’t no good. You should try it, then make your asinine comments.

A mistake. Wilson has turned into a “gimmick” company (made for TV infomercials), which is too bad, since they made fantastic clubs generations ago, only to either lose their way or discard golf in favor of other sports which contributed more to the bottom line.

Woodland might as well be playing Wilson’s Sam Snead Blue Ridge specials from the 1970s. Hate to see his game go downhill, but it’s a sure thing now. Sad…

How you figure he game is going to fall apart lol wilson makes amazing irons, he will be experimenting all year with woods…and wedges are wedges everyone just copies vokey anyways..gary is goinflg to add to wilson staffs major win count and continue to be a leader!
Benny

Well said. People think because Wilson is in a box store like Target or Wally World the product is bad. But people shoot par or better with worse clubs. Wilson is still one of the leaders in won tournaments and major wins. They make great gear and Woodland almost won the last tourney while getting a hole in one.
I never liked this guy but saw him walk over and personally help a man who had fallen over. Gary is a great dude and hope to see him have a break out year.
I challange anyone to try the V4 irons and not love them.

Given how well Woodland is playing at Pebble Beach for this year’s US Open, I would say this comment may go down as one of the most erroneous in Golfwrx history. It is also electronically recorded for future generations to see. Sad…
