TaylorMade Golf has officially announced the signing of Matthew Wolff on a multi-year agreement that will see the 20-year-old play the company’s metal woods, irons, wedges, putter and ultimately, TaylorMade’s flagship golf ball, the TP5x.

Wolff had previously unveiled that he would be making his professional debut at this week’s Travelers Championship, and just as top prospect Collin Morikawa did earlier at this month’s Canadian Open, Wolff will do so as a TaylorMade staffer.

The NCAA All-American and 2019 NCAA Division I individual champion made his debut on the PGA Tour at the Waste Management Phoenix Open earlier this year where he finished T50 after opening his week with a round of five-under par.

Good to see the P750’s in his bag

Great irons and they won’t be leaving my bag anytime soon

Unless he’s Tiger or Rory, he’s not getting a major deal. Wolff has the potential though, great game, unique swing that has people talking, great distance, and already placed 50 in his first pro tournament. He’s good, and he’s going to get paid. I think most golfers make the bulk of their cash on tour though.

It’s nice to have staff fully tuning the clubs to your liking. Also not have to worry about what to wear each day at the tournament lol.

He’s had all that support at OSU and is not changing any clubs

Not sure what he was playing at OSU but if it wasn’t Taylormade, it might take a little while for him to get accustomed to his clubs. I am sure he will do well and wish him well also. Looks like the real deal to me.

How much does a new college grad usually sign for with a company? Obviously skill level matters here but is someone like Wolff getting millions or hundreds of thousands?

  All the range balls he can handle and a couple of used wedges. All kidding aside, I’d guess not a lot at first with some performance incentives. Perhaps $50-100K with bonuses for top 10’s or wins. Obviously full access to equipment and tweaking etc. It’s got to be a real bonus to have direct and easy access to all the tech and data of a major manufacturer vs. having to go out and figure it all out on your own with your own equipment or someone else’s. IMO that’s more important at this point than any money he’s going to receive at this early stage.

    He is getting more than one might think here. He is projected big! He has been a TM player but it wasn’t automatic.

      Investment paid off already. This guy has the length to compete on any course. Another Genkas player.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
