Equipment
Sergio Garcia splits with Callaway; using Ping and TaylorMade clubs in Abu Dhabi
Sergio Garcia has split with Callaway after two mixed years using the brand’s equipment.
The Spaniard signed with the company in 2018 after 15 years with TaylorMade. In a statement to Golf Digest, a Callaway spokesperson confirmed the split as well as commenting that they had parted on great terms.
“We can confirm Callaway did not renew its agreement with Sergio Garcia for the 2020 season. We parted on great terms and the option for Sergio to carry Callaway equipment in the future remains.”
Garcia has won twice on the European Tour since 2018, and once on the Asian Tour, but has struggled for consistency, missing six of his last eight cuts at major championships in this period.

Curious. I believe it’s an ouch for Callaway. Not one of their clubs carried over into his new set.

Think that it reflects well on Pings blueprint irons and their 410 Driver. Notice Colin Montgomorie uses this too!

Very good move on Callaway’s part. Long overdue but glad to see them cut the line nonetheless…

Good move Callaway. The immature punk was not a good reflection on Callaway!

Not surprised, with his inconsistent play and poor on-course behavior, Sergio is that last person most companies want to sign right now.

Bro did you RTFA? They parted ways amicably, seems like it was more Sergio’s choice than anything.

Seriously , what do you expect them to say? Like we dropped Sergio because he is a douche bag? Which is actually reason why they dropped him….lol

I’ll translate Callaway’s statement since you cannot read between the lines: “We didn’t want Sergio back. Maybe he’ll play our clubs in 2035.”
