Sergio Garcia splits with Callaway; using Ping and TaylorMade clubs in Abu Dhabi

Published

on

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…

    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

        You believe everything you read? That’s a good sheep.

        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.”

Golf fans left surprised by LIV’s choice of course for its 2024 individual championship event

Published

on

On Tuesday, LIV announced their individual championship will be held at Bolingbrook Golf Club just outside of Chicago. The event will take place September 13-15.

The late announcement is seemingly due to LIV looking for the right course in the Chicago area that has the infrastructure that can accommodate a professional event.

The choice of Bolingbrook Golf Club has received some feedback on social media.

LIV fans were quick to point out that Bethpage Black, which is hosting the 2025 Ryder Cup, can also be played for a reasonable price, making the point the greens fees don’t always equate to the quality of the golf course.

During LIV’s first two seasons, LIV utilized Rich Harvest Farms in Chicago. It’s unclear why that course is off the rotation in favor of Bolingbrook.

Tiger Woods’ Sun Day Red apparel line officially launches with ‘The Hunt’ collection

Published

on

Sun Day Red, the brand from 15-time major champion Tiger Woods and TaylorMade Golf, today launched its initial release of golf, training and lifestyle apparel and accessories. The company’s first-ever release is now available exclusively on SunDayRed.com

This first release, entitled “The Hunt,” is a preview of the colors Tiger will be wearing at the PGA Championship in a few weeks at Valhalla Country Club, in Louisville, KY.

Visual references of friendly rivalry allude to Tiger’s back and forth battle at the 2000 PGA Championship, as well as to the action-oriented nature of the collection’s name. The brand will follow up with additional special releases in May as it unveils the full breadth of the first product line to fans.

“We have been eagerly awaiting this moment since our brand was first announced in February 2024. The outpouring of support from our fans has exceeded our wildest dreams. We are excited for everyone to experience firsthand the exceptional quality of Sun DayRed apparel.” – Brad Blankinship, President, Sun Day Red

For the debut of the initial collection, Sun Day Red is featuring a range of men’s apparel and accessories. Key pieces including:

  • A favorite of Tiger Woods, the Training Dry Hoodie was built upon his insights of needing a lightweight versatile piece—especially in the Florida heat.This is something he can throw it on and head out to the range to hit balls. Plus, it’s a cold-weather essential that won’t weigh him down, no matter what the unpredictable Florida weather has in store.

  • The inception of the 3D Lightweight Hoodie stemmed from one of the first things Tiger told us when we started working together. He said,”I don’t want to feel like I’m wearing anything.” That became the driving force behind creating this innovative 3D knit piece. Tiger loves how the seamless construction allows him to transition from the course to high-profile events like late night TV appearances and charity functions.

Over time, Sun Day Red will broaden its global presence through wholesale expansion in key markets outside of North America, at retail, and broaden its product offering to include footwear, women and kids’ lines
