I don't think this is a surprise to anyone. I wish him well on his return

looks like a very easy swing, not the normal attack one would expect with TW, presumeably due to his injuries?

No. Just his range swing.

Tiger is also a "Ranger Rick".

Googling it won't get you the answer.

It's a guy who is good on the range but can't take it to the course.

Google will just tell you about the old magazine.

I expect he'd test every club out there to determine which he likes best.  With Adidas trying to unload TM Tiger could be a great addition to their Tour Staff but it would have to be at the right price to not scare off prospective buyers.

I cant see where else he would go to be honest, nobody else is innovating clubs like TM are? 

Are nike just sacking off their clubs or looking to sell them over to someone else?

Not at the rate or expense of TM's R&D from what I have seen, i didnt mean others arent, but its an opinion so subjective as ever

There are a million guys being successful on tour with Titleist and callaway clubs (among others) so I'd say this is demonstrably false.

never said they werent, but the majority of the top ranked are TM for a reason, be that money or otherwise, theres a reason

Tiger started of with Titleist so maybe its a case of "been there done that bought the T-shirt".

TM is the more logical move for him. I dont think he fits Cobra's "image" and Mizuno maybe a bit "niche" for him?

I do have an idea for Tiger though. Rather than jump ship and become another "staff player", i think he should show how good he is buy going down to Dick's, buy a set of Dunlops (he can stick with his current balls, DDH's arent required for this).

This does 3 things

1: Shows us he can play well with whatever club is in his hands.

2: Gives the finger to the big names

3: We all get a laugh out of it.....win win.

1. Jason Day - TaylorMade
2. Rory McIlroy - Nike (he's not committed anywhere yet)
3. Dustin Johnson - TaylorMade
4. Henrik Stenson - Callaway
5. Jordan Spieth - Titleist
6. Hideki Matsuyama - Cleveland/Srixon sponsored
7. Adam Scott - Titleist
8. Patrick Reed - Callaway
9. Alex Noren - Callaway
10. Bubba Watson - PING
11. Danny Willett - Callaway
12. Rickie Fowler - Cobra

2 of 12 is not even close to the majority.

Other club companies hold their own just fine.
