Just saw this on MSN.com. And apparently, Nick Watney and Kyle Stanley jumped on the Nike Train too.

Pretty sure Nike can make a forged blade and their wedges are solid too.

TM pays so many golfers - they go for a stable and don't put their eggs into one or two baskets. Nike will pay more -  several of their golfers lost it or are gone -- cough, cough - Anthony Kim

Is it?    Doing a little financial analysis, it looks like such a deal could not pay off and would hurt the financials of the business. From Nike's 2012 Annual Report, the company did about $24

Seems like it

Quote:

Although no one involved would officially confirm the signing, FOXSports.com has learned that McIlroy has already filmed his first Nike television commercial, to debut next year.

The personable young Northern Irishman appears in the ad alongside the man who helped recruit him to Nike, Tiger Woods .

The two banter while hitting the company’s new red driver and marvel at how far they’re hitting the ball.

The commercial also features two other long-hitting golfers, Nick Watney and Kyle Stanley, who have also made the switch to Nike as the company beefs up what has been a disappointing roster.

And in case anyone hasn't seen this

Quote:
The deal – which could net as much as $250 million – makes him Nike’s highest-paid golfer, replacing Woods.

I'm surprised to see that Watney and Stanley are bailing to Nike aswell.  Can't wait to see the commercial, featuring the worlds ugliest driver yet !

It really doesn't matter what brand of clubs Rory uses, they are all made in China.

And that matters?

Woods, Stanley, Watney, and McIlroy. Similar stature with solid swings. I'm looking forward to the TV spots - had enough of AK and Paul Casey to last a lifetime.

Not a fan of Nike clubs, but a great move by them signing Rory, Watney, and Stanley.  Three young guys with good - excellent potential to dominate for years.  Plus Woods will still be in the headlines and back pages that include the swoosh.  Nike and TM are putting a lot of money into marketing, different approaches but they both get it.

This is absolutely huge for Nike. I'm excited to see Rory in Nike duds. I think Nike's clubs will only improve from here on out.

There must be a lot of bad blood between Titleist (or parent company) and Nike. Yes, no?

Trying to imagine the logo - RMac - RMI - RMcI - Rors?

I don't think so, it's just business.  I'm sure Titleist realizes that you can only keep a player like McIlroy for so long, especially playing as well as he has the past two years.

Am I the only one who thinks that just because he makes a switch doesn't mean his clubs will change all that much other than getting a nike swoosh printed on them?

Does he actually start playing some nike clubs? Or are they some really custom clubs with a swoosh?

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
