The Atlanta crowd cheered, “Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!,” after Fleetwood sank his winning putt yesterday with his TaylorMade Spider putter.
“Money, money, munnnnnnnn-e,” TaylorMade executives surely sang back at their Carlsbad headquarters after watching their boy finally close the deal and lift the hallowed FedEx Cup trophy at East Lake.
You see, Tommy’s bag is 100% TaylorMade, 9-wood and all. Even his funky looking TP5x Pix ball is a TaylorMade.
Today, tens of thousands of amateurs are buying R7 Quad mini-drivers and Qi10 9-woods to use the gear that Tommy uses. If they could, they would grow out their hair like Hercules mini-me; but for most, genetics will prevent them from ever having Tommy’s flowing locks. Money can buy you a mini-driver, but it just can’t buy you a world-class swing or follicles to match.
