Dustin Johnson, Matthew Wolff spotted with TaylorMade SIM drivers at Sentry Tournament of Champions
We spotted two TaylorMade staffers with the yet-to-be-announced TaylorMade SIM driver in their arsenals ahead of the Sentry Tournament of Champions, which kicks off Thursday from Plantation Course at Kapalua in Hawaii.
TaylorMade’s expected 2020 release hit the USGA Conforming List Monday, so it’s no surprise to see staffers practicing with the club ahead of the 34-man event in Maui.
Dustin Johnson was spotted with a 10.5-degree TaylorMade SIM Max driver and a Fujikura Ventus 6X shaft (tipped 1.5 inches), per our sources. DJ switched between the M5 and M6 driver last year and did give the Ventus a go in competition before returning to his stalwart Fujikura Speeder 661 X Tour Spec 2.0.
Matthew Wolff is reportedly in an eight degree TaylorMade SIM with a Graphite Design Tour AD TP 7TX.
We don’t have word on TaylorMade staffers Collin Morikawa and Jon Rahm (also in the field) yet, although non-staffer Gary Woodland is reportedly demoing the SIM.
(Update: Based on Getty Images, Morikawa looks to be practicing with the SIM with a Tensei CK Pro White shaft)
