Dustin Johnson, who has played TaylorMade equipment since turning pro 14 years ago, has signed an extension with the company which will see the successful partnership continue long into the future.

Speaking on the extension of his contract with TaylorMade, DJ said

“With all the challenges of 2020, it was one of my best years on the golf course. TaylorMade was right there with me each step of the way, just like they’ve been for my whole career. There isn’t a better golf equipment company in the game, especially the guys out on Tour. I’m looking forward to being part of Team TaylorMade for a long time to come.”

Armed with TaylorMade equipment, Johnson has amassed 24 victories throughout his career including two major championships with the last coming in November at the 2020 Masters tournament.

On their relationship extending, David Abeles TaylorMade CEO stated

“When we look back on everything DJ has accomplished over the course of his career, we couldn’t be prouder to be on his team. The victories, the major championships, the record-setting performances. He’s done it all, and with TaylorMade equipment in his hands for each moment. That’s humbling, but it also fuels us to keep innovating and pushing the limits of performance so that we can continue to help DJ play the best possible golf – while rewriting the history books along the way.”

DJ has now spent 111 weeks atop the OWGRs, which is the third all-time in total number of weeks at World Number One trailing only Tiger Woods and Greg Norman. Ahead of this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions, here’s a look inside the bag of DJ for 2021:

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

Check out in-hand photos of Daniel Berger’s full WITB here.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!

At this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, GolfWRX got in-hand looks at the driver setups of a wealth of players.
