World number two and four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy has signed a $100-million contract to play TaylorMade clubs, ball and use their golf bag for the next decade.
The deal comes in the wake of Nike’s exit from the market and also ranks as TaylorMade’ biggest fiscal commitment to any golfer.
‘I tested different combinations, a lot of different stuff, and I came to the conclusion that this was the best way forward for me to try and improve, try and win more, try to get back to world number one, try to win more majors,’ McIlroy said.
‘So I’m really excited about that.
‘I tested quite a few balls and the one that I landed on was really it; the ball was what led me to this point because this is the best ball I’ve ever hit. Then it was just about trying to match everything up to that.’
Time to show the world what you’re really made of.
