Sergio Garcia re-joins TaylorMade; 2021 PGA Championship WITB
Two days before the year’s second major, Sergio Garcia has announced that he is re-joining TaylorMade four years after the Spaniard parted ways with the company.
Garcia left TaylorMade for Callaway in a partnership that lasted two years before becoming a free agent until this week.
The new multi-year agreement with TaylorMade will see the 41-year-old use the brand’s clubs, golf ball, staff bag and represent the company with a logo on the side of his hat.
On his social media accounts, Garcia announced the news by saying:
“Excited to re-join TaylorMade Golf. I’ve always been comfortable with their team, their approach to the game and their equipment, especially their TP5X golf ball. Happy to be back.”

Though he is reportedly testing TaylorMade’s SIM2 Max driver and a new Spider Ex putter, Garcia will play the original SIM and a Scotty Cameron flat-stick at Kiawah Island.

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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Glad to see somebody being paid by an equipment company actually using that company’s product all the way through the bag … can’t stand seeing tour pro’s touting a company’s products in commercials or on their website, but then they pull the head-covers off their woods to reveal another company’s products. Has always seemed rather dishonest to me (and yes, I know they all do it).

He never seemed comfortable with anything else
Good to see some love for the P750’s, a really good and underrated iron

Facts…Garcia essentially got laid off from TM just after Adidas sold them to a private equity company in 2017. Not he essentially got rehired when TM is sold to another owner (with probably deeper pockets). Coincidence?!!??!

Sergio left Taylormade shortly after he won the Masters. I suspect his agent demanded a bigger contract due to the win, and Taylormade balked.
