How do Nike’s Big Two Compare? An In The Bag Special – Tiger Woods 2014 v Rory McIlroy 2014

Although he may have slid down the rankings in 2013, there’s no doubting that golf’s ‘big two’  are still the two players who enjoy a massive endorsement from Nike Golf; Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

 

Both have had well-documented travails with their equipment in recent times. Tiger’s dodgy driving has been dogging him for a little while (though did seem to improve in 2013) whereas McIlroy’s switch to Nike clubs in 2013 preceded a disappointing season for the Irishman.

 

Will 2014 be any better and what clubs are these two powerhouses of the game carrying in their bag?

Who Sponsors Who? A Look At Who Will Be Using Which Clubs In 2014!

It is a big deal for a golfer to receive a sponsorship deal from a club manufacturer. At one end of the scale, the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy can coin in millions a year from lucrative sponsorship deals alone.

 

At the other end of the scale though, sponsorship means that players fighting for a place on tour will have travel expenses or other out-of-pocket expenditure met, meaning that they following their dream does not become too much of a financial burden if they fail to make the required impact.

 

In this article, we’ll simply take a look at which golfers are signed up with many of the top golfing providers. We think you’ll find this list illuminating, as well as surprising…

Clubs Comparison – Which Clubs do the Top Ten World Ranked Players Have in their Bag?

Golf Clubs are very much a personal choice. For all the money spent on advertising, most golfers find a typical brand that they are happy with and will use them for at least a year or two before considering upgrading.

 

In the professional ranks however, club sponsorship deals mean that professionals may have slightly less freedom than the average golfer when it comes to club selection. Of course, the top ten in the world benefit in many other ways, namely big fat sponsors cheques and a limitless supply of clubs tailor-made for their swing.

 

So with that in mind, let’s take a look at which are the most popular clubs players from the World Top Ten have in their bag at present.

The Best Christmas Buys for a Golfer in 2013 | Part Three: Putters

So far in this series we’ve looked at Drivers and Irons, missing out fairway woods and hybrids as well as wedges because these items may not all be the same for every golfer, whereas almost every golfer will carry around a Driver and a set of irons in their bag.

Of course, the other club that a golfer will have in their bag for sure is the short-stick; the humble putter.

 

It is worth noting that putting is very much about feel and as such, while we recommend the putters below, we’d strongly advise taking the recipient of any putter below (especially the top of the range and mid value options) to your local stockist to try before you buy.

So for the third and final time, we’ve been hunting around for the best putter deals this Christmas which will help your golfing fanatic achieve more success on the greens in 2014.

 

And this is what we believe are the best trio of putting deals for Christmas 2013.
