If Dustin Johnson wins the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay next month, everyone who purchased a TaylorMade R15 or AeroBurner driver between May18th and June 17th at the PGA Tour Superstore gets their money back.

Early betting odds have Johnson pegged at 16/1 to win at Chambers Bay, which means you’re most likely paying full price for a new TaylorMade driver, but there is a chance.

Other companies have done similar promotions with its pros in the past—Callaway and Phil Mickelson being the most recent— giving away Phil's U.S. Open check from Merion in 2013 . And in 2009, TaylorMade did a similar promotion with Sergio Garcia at the Masters and Garcia and Retief Goosen for the U.S. Open.

Of course, it hinges on D.J. winning. But D.J. has already won once this year and is hungry for his first major. For more on the promotion, click here for all the details.

Nice. I actually like DJ's chances, too. Plays great on links courses (i.e. Whistling Straits). Plus he's been in good form. I'd say the odds are better than 16/1. He just needs to hope Rory and Spieth leave their A-games at home.

I filled out 3 sweepstakes forms. So I will be receiving 3 new R15's if DJ can keep it together.

I thought the deal was you actually had to buy the driver first then if he won, you'd end up getting it for free?

Yeah, that is the deal. However, because of the "no purchase necessary" clause, you didn't have to buy the driver to win one. You just go into the PGA Superstore and fill out a sweepstakes form. If DJ wins, they send you the driver of your choice (R15 or AeroBurner). You were only allowed 1 entry per household. But my best man and my brother both entered

Looks like he went with option B.

http://www.pgatoursuperstore.com/winwithdjrules.jsp

b. Participate by No Purchase Entry Form: To participate without making a purchase, visit any PGA TOUR Superstore retail location and ask a sales associate for an official Entry Form (the ?Entry Form?). Complete all required fields on the Entry Form, including selecting which Driver you wish to receive (if applicable) and mail it to the following address, as indicated on the form: If D.J. Wins You Win Promotion, PO Box 7694, Melville, NY 11775-7694 (?Entry?). Entries must be postmarked and received during the Rebate Period, to be eligible. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned and proof of sending will not be deemed proof that the Entry was received. No copies/facsimiles of an Official Entry Form will be accepted.

6. How to Receive a Refund/Promotional Item ONLY If Dustin Johnson wins the 2015 US Open:

b. If you Participated by No Purchase Entry Form: If Dustin Johnson wins the 2015 US Open, the Sponsor will mail you the Promotional Item you indicated on the Entry Form, within 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the US Open, pending verification. No cash or other substitution is allowed except by the Sponsor who may substitute a Promotional Item with another item of equal or greater value if the Promotional Item you designated becomes unavailable, as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion.

That is correct. I have a PGA Tour Superstore located a 6iron away from my work. I stop in there frequently.

Well shit. I should've looked into it more Well good luck to you! (And also your brother and your buddy) ;)

[quote name="MyrtleBeachGolf" url="/t/82124/taylormade-will-give-away-free-drivers-if-dustin-johnson-wins-the-u-s-open#post_1148386"] You don't even need to go that far. You just go into the store and ask for an entry form, (a non-purchase) entry form. And fill it out and send it in. If DJ wins, TaylorMade mails you the driver of your choice.[/quote] I posted this 19 days ago letting everyone know there's no purchase necessary. Let's see if DJ can keep it together throughout the weekend.

He played great today but didn't score as well as he would of liked. Definitely like his chances tomorrow though.

He hit every fairway in a round for the first time in his PGA career. He's driving it so solid, and long.

I was rooting against Dustin so hard. I was near a PGASS last week and just forgot to stop by to enter. If he'd won, I'd have been sick to my stomach over losing out on a free driver.

I was really hoping he could get it done, the free driver would have been nice. But I'm still in shock about how it actually ended. He stuck it on 17 and made the birdie. Then piped one about 350 into a 15 yard wide part of the fairway on 18. Stuck a 5 iron from 230 to 12 feet. Then 3 putt to lose the U.S. Open. It was a crazy finish. I just can't believe it.

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
