In the midst of an incredible two-month run that has seen seven wins in eight PGA Tour events, Team TaylorMade is at the top of the golf world with both the number and number two ranked golfers playing TaylorMade equipment. Jason Day and Dustin Johnson have taken the Tour by storm and have firmly established themselves as the players to beat as we head to The Open Championship.
First heating up back in March with back-to-back wins, Jason Day claimed the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the WGC – Dell Match Play before making a resounding statement as the number 1 golfer in the world with his victory at The Players. His win at TPC Sawgrass sparked a run of additional TaylorMade championships, culminating with DJ’s major redemption at Oakmont.
