Na, formerly a Titleist staffer but spent 2018 as an equipment free agent, confirmed that he signed with Callaway. This should come as no surprise, since Na was playing mostly Callaway equipment by the end of 2018.

Gary Woodland to Wilson

Stewart Cink to Ping

Woodland put Wilson Staff prototype blades in play in 2018 and has now officially signed a multi-year, 10-club deal with the equipment company. According to Wilson, he has incentives to play more clubs, including the “Driver vs. Driver 2” Cortex driver.

Developments

A staff hat or a company’s golf clubs in the bag do not mean that player has inked a deal with a company. On the flip side, it could foreshadow a player’s intentions. A few developments to be aware of:

Paul Casey

Justin Rose’s confirmation on Jan. 1 adds to the chatter that Honma may sign a number of big-name players. Since Nike exited the hard goods industry, Paul Casey has been using Mizuno irons. But during a practice round at this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions, Casey was spotted using a Honma Tour World TW-U iron.

Brandt Snedeker

The long-time Bridgestone staff player is no longer listed on the “Tour Team” section of a company’s website. No official word on his potential free-agency status.

Troy Merritt

Merritt was spotted wearing a Titleist hat instead of a Wilson hat this week at Kapalua.

Francesco Molinari to Callaway

Francesco Molinari -- an equipment free agent in 2018 who used TaylorMade irons and a Bettinardi BBZero putter -- was spotted with Callaway Apex MB irons and an Odyssey Toulon putter at the 2019 Sentry TOC. As a reminder, the Toulon company exists under the Callaway umbrella.
