Forum Thread of the Day: “Major TaylorMade Announcement?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day was submitted by From_Parts_Unknown, who claims to have received an interesting email from David Abeles, CEO and President of TaylorMade Golf. Within the email, From_Parts_Unknown states that the message contained the following:
“We are preparing to make one of the most significant announcements in company history – a new addition to our athlete team that will light up the industry and enhance the impact of our brand like never before. Please stay tuned. You will hear from us in a couple of weeks!”
As you would expect, the news has created a buzz in our forums, and our members have been speculating on what the major announcement could be.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- jll62: “If it’s a ball/glove deal with Rickie, that is a big deal. Signing the #12 player in the world to use your product is a major announcement. Think about it. He’s a long time Titleist ball loyalist, so if you can get him to come over and play your product, it’s validation that you have something special.”
- tatertot: “Any way TM found a way to get Phil away from Callaway?”
- andrieddie: “Fleetwood is the best guess but does he light up the industry? Curry is all Callaway and why would they think signing a basketball star would help with selling golf clubs? Or maybe with the hyperbole, it is Rickie with the ball deal.”
- golfgirlrobin: “‘Light up the industry’ is a pretty high bar. If it turns out to be a ball/glove deal, that’s going to be a bit of a joke. I don’t see Zach Johnson switching companies again as particularly exciting and certainly wouldn’t enhance the impact of their brand “like never before“. I am curious, though.”

Come on you guys are smarter than this. They got tiger for the TP5 ball. Nobody gets the whole bag and allows the ball to be bridgestone. Tiger has been testing during his break and is probably on board now.

My guess is Tommy Fleetwood, he has been practicing with a set of TaylorMade prototype irons in Dubai, saw them with my own eyes, identical to Tigers

IF there’s a lawsuit involved for a competitor’s non-performance, it could be almost anybody.
That said, I seriously doubt that Phil will leave Callaway. After all, he half-invented the PM grind wedges and the PM 64* jumper.

I bet they signed someone who can really move the needle, maybe like Woody Austin?

Adding another “athlete” won’t sell one more club for TM….just ask Nike how that worked for their now defunct club business.
