Jason Day has apparently jumped to Nike Apparel. I thought the TM guys were locked into Adidas. I can't think of another TM player with different apparel deal.
With the news of Day changing, I think that must be the case. Change of ownership negates past exclusivity rights.Adidas sold of TaylorMade earlier this year so perhaps that exclusivity is no longer
TM has a huge stable of golfers; many of them don't wear Adidas/Ashworth apparel. Martin Kaymer off the top of my head has a Hugo Boss line. Now, certainly in reverse, it's less common for an adidas apparel player to use other clubs, but certainly there's Furyk, who plays Callaways.Jason Day has apparently jumped to Nike Apparel.

Furyk only wears Adidas shoes, his apparel deal is with AHead. Of course, he's a whore, so he probably has a separate deal for his belt as well.TM has a huge stable of golfers; many of them don't wear Adidas/Ashworth apparel.

I think I have read that Day's contracts were separate, and his apparel contract runs out at the end of the year.
I'm not familiar with Young so take that for what it's worth.We all know adidas AG has put TaylorMade Golf, Adams Golf, Ashworth, Yes and pretty much its entire golf portfolio up for sale. We at Golf News Net also know adidas is close to identifying a TaylorMade buyer, and we've been told that a pair of American private equity groups are among the finalists.
On Thursday, however, a rumor that we hadn't heard made us consider an amazing possibility. Rick Young of Score Golf in Canada (and previous co-host of our "Gear Effects" podcast) tweeted that Tiger Woods is rumored to be a potential buyer for TaylorMade Golf.
That hurts the people who picked him in DraftKings. Hurts bad. Day can't last on the tour if he keeps getting hurt like this.Jason Day was at -3 and WD'd from the Tour Championship with a back injury.
Rob is in 26th now heading into the last event after finishing T12 today.Looks like Rob Oppenheim has to do some work in the last two events of the web.com finals to retain his full PGA card for 2017. He missed the cut in his fist event and and finished T24 in the second of four for about $8,000. Last year it took $3x,000 over the four events to get into the top 25, so he'll need at least one high finish (or two around top 20ish) in the remaining two tournaments to get in. He does have conditional status locked up by virtue of his T10 at the Quicken this year.
They don't publicly disclose them of course, but it's my understanding that companies like Nike pay additional performance bonuses; I wouldn't be surprised to learn he gets a million each for the Tour Championship and the Playoffs.It's a shitload of money either way, but I don't know where he came up with $13 million. $10 mil for the FedEx win and $1.5 mil tournament win.
That was way more impressive than his 2nd shot on the first playoff hole. So much could go wrong there and he hit a perfect shot.That makes sense.
That was a pretty absurd shot by Rory. He's got the advantage again.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this thought cross his mind during this. His comments at the Masters still piss me off. I was surprised he didn't find a way to make this about himself.I love how jack waits until Arnie dies to finally show his true feelings and compassion for him. He's such a dick.
ShitRob O. is currently 26th in Web.com Tour Finals standings. Top 25 make it. Déjà vu all over again?

He's like $400 behind. Final tournament is in two weekends.
Go Rob!
Yup.For those that have twitter blocked at work what does it say? They cancel the tournament and the standings are final?
