Three weeks ago, when Taylor Met signed Scotty Schaufler, it was estimated that the latter would become the world number one so quickly!
That's right, it wasn't Colin Morikawa, not Victor Hofland, not Patrick Cantley who kicked Ram off the throne, but the 25-year-old American "Texas Dark Horse" who didn't know what the PGA Tour champion was six weeks ago.
Interestingly, Schaufler was a "free-body" player until March 9. However, it was before the Players Tournament that TaylorMade signed an endorsement contract from the tee to the bag, and just two weeks later, Schaufler soared to become the 25th in history and the fastest world number one in the world with a World Championship-Dell Technology Pit Championship PGA Tour title!
Just a week ago, Sam Burns, who used Callaway clubs, took the PGA Tour, kicking Taylor May spokeswoman Dustin Johnson out of the world's top ten and replacing him. Just 7 days later, Taylor Made sent a new force, Schoffler, to "quickly take revenge" and ousted Callaway Pillar Joan Ram from the world's first throne. People can't help but sigh, the creation of the head competition in the ball club world makes people.
However, what really "earned" was not the Fasth Plus Shadow One wood used by Schoffler, but his Scotty Cameron Special Select Timeless Tourtype GSS Prototype putter - since the Phoenix Open, after replacing this putter, Schoffler seems to have opened the second vein of Ren Dou, winning 3 championships in 5 games + 1 top 10. The jackpot turned out to be $6.173 million (about 39.19 million yuan) for the bomber! "Kick-off to make money, putting to make money" - this sentence is really reflected in the new king of the ball to the extreme.
Another notable change is that in Schoffler's bag, the medieval limited edition Nike VR Pro No. 3 wood has disappeared - replaced by the latest TaylorMade Stealth 3HL. The long-discontinued Nike VR Pro has been with Schoffler since 2011 in high school, except for the first three years of college, senior year to light tour to PGA Tour, which is almost the only fairway wood in his bag. At the Sentinel Championship in January this year, Schaufler accidentally cracked the old No. 3 wooden pole head, but thanks to him saving a Nike spare pole, he did not fall into embarrassment...
However, with the signing of Theylemy, the power of money also brought Schaeufler's relationship with Nike antique poles to an end (his clothing is still Nike's endorsement). Taylor May initially prepared a 15-degree Salth Plus 3 wood, but the distance was beyond Schoffler's control.
Contrast of old and new No. 3 wood in Schaufler
It wasn't until last week's World Championships that Taylor suggested that Schaufler try the Salt 3HL (HL stands for "high inclination") and built a three-gauge wood with a 16.5-degree inclination specifically for him. With the shaft of the Fujikura Ventus Black 8X, the inclination angle of the rod is 3 degrees greater than that of the original Nike VR Pro, and the shaft body is shortened by 1 inch, finally meeting the requirements of Schaeufler's low ballistic and high backswitch. As a result, he also earned him a third PGA Tour title and a historic achievement of becoming the world number one.
DP World Tour
On the DP World Tour, as the leaders collapsed on Sunday afternoon, the little-known Scottish golfer Evan Ferguson came behind to win the first European Tour title at the Qatar Masters.
As a sponsor of Cobra Puma, Ferguson's current hardcore group is the Cobra KING Tour concave back iron of Metal Injection Molding Technology (MiM). He also recently added Cobra LTDx LS fairway wood to his bag. In addition, he wears the latest PUMA Golf SS22 collection of clothing from head to toe.
However, the two longest guys in Ferguson's bag are the no. 1 wood of the Titleist TSi3 and the fairway wood of the Titleist TSi2. The Scots also became the second player to win the European Tour title in 2022 using titlelist one wood, following Thomas Pitts, who played the first tournament in Abu Dhabi at the beginning of the year.
His putter is also Titleist's Scotty Cameron T5 Circle T. It was this "circle T" that helped Ferguson advance on the 72nd hole to win the long push birdie, and throughout the week, his putting score rate was also 8th in the game.
LPGAD
Last week, there was also an LPGA heavyweight event – the Kia Classic was replaced by another Namco-sponsored Central Toyo Classic. Thai girl Ataya Titika, who was less than a month after her 19th birthday, achieved an amazing 5-stroke counterattack, and Danish sister Nanna Koltz Madsen, who won the championship the week before the 19th year, won the LPGA championship trophy in the rookie season!
It's actually a showdown between two Callaway-sponsored women, so callaway is the biggest winner regardless of the outcome. Ataya used the latest Callaway Rogue ST Triple Diamond No. 1 wood, and became the second LPGA player to use the Callaway No. 1 wood this season after Madsen, but the no. 1 wood used by the latter to beat Lin Xiyu the week before was the not new Mavrik Sub Zero Triple Diamond.
Unlike the many brands in madsen bags, Ataya, who is only 19 years old and has rushed to no. 5 in the world ranking, is obviously callaway's "popular fried chicken" - whether it is Rogue ST's latest two tees, Apex Pro's hardcore group, or Odyssey Toulon Atlanta putters, and Chrome Soft X's match balls, all of which are Callaway's full range of products! It can be seen that the big club factory has invested heavily in this houlang taimei and has high hopes.
