Rory McIlroy signed a long-term equipment extension with TaylorMade Golf, the company announced Tuesday without providing details.
The current World No. 7 first signed with TaylorMade in 2017 and has used the Carlsbad, California-based company’s clubs and golf balls ever since. TaylorMade announced the extension as being multi-year without disclosing how long.
“Over the last several years I have had the chance to work with the best equipment company in golf,” McIlroy, one of the best drivers on the PGA Tour, said in announcing the news. “Today I am excited to announce TaylorMade clubs and ball will be staying in my bag for many years to come. A combination of the dedicated people and unmatched performance is what drove me to remain a part of Team TaylorMade.”
McIlroy, 32, is part of a Tour staff that includes Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler.
