Sergio Garcia re-joins TaylorMade; 2021 PGA Championship WITB
Two days before the year’s second major, Sergio Garcia has announced that he is re-joining TaylorMade four years after the Spaniard parted ways with the company.
Garcia left TaylorMade for Callaway in a partnership that lasted two years before becoming a free agent until this week.
The new multi-year agreement with TaylorMade will see the 41-year-old use the brand’s clubs, golf ball, staff bag and represent the company with a logo on the side of his hat.
On his social media accounts, Garcia announced the news by saying:
“Excited to re-join TaylorMade Golf. I’ve always been comfortable with their team, their approach to the game and their equipment, especially their TP5X golf ball. Happy to be back.”

Though he is reportedly testing TaylorMade’s SIM2 Max driver and a new Spider Ex putter, Garcia will play the original SIM and a Scotty Cameron flat-stick at Kiawah Island.

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.

Glad to see somebody being paid by an equipment company actually using that company’s product all the way through the bag … can’t stand seeing tour pro’s touting a company’s products in commercials or on their website, but then they pull the head-covers off their woods to reveal another company’s products. Has always seemed rather dishonest to me (and yes, I know they all do it).

Facts…Garcia essentially got laid off from TM just after Adidas sold them to a private equity company in 2017. Not he essentially got rehired when TM is sold to another owner (with probably deeper pockets). Coincidence?!!??!

Sergio left Taylormade shortly after he won the Masters. I suspect his agent demanded a bigger contract due to the win, and Taylormade balked.
