TaylorMade pays Scottie Scheffler a boatload of money to play their equipment on tour. But his contract isn’t for a full bag. Not even close.
Yes, Scottie plays with a TaylorMade driver and 3-wood, and swings Tiger’s TaylorMade iron grind 5-PW (P-7TW), but the rest of his bag is made up of equipment from Srixon, Titleist (Vokey Wedges), and Olson Putter Co. He also uses a Titleist Pro V1 ball versus the TaylorMade TP5x. To help you with the math, that’s eight TaylorMade clubs and six from other manufacturers. More or less his set-up looks like a free agent’s bag, but he also gets to pocket what is certainly a high 7-figure check as well. Truly the best of both worlds…
Key takeaways:
- We visited the Olson Putter Co.’s website to see how much Scottie’s putter would cost an average Joe. There was literally no info available on the site, only some pictures, About Us page, and a newsletter sign-up form. Logan Olson personally makes each and every putter he places into the hands of the rich and elite. Get in line if you’ve got the $$$.
- He played with a TaylorMade Qi10 15 degree 3-wood. The Qi line of woods will be coming out in early 2024. We haven’t seen them up close yet, but will at the PGA Show in late January.
- He used Srixon ZU85 long irons (3-4). You can only find those on resale sights and in pro’s garages. Srixon long irons and utility irons show up in roughly 30% of free agent bags. Nice clubs.
- His Vokey wedges are SM8 versus the newer SM9 model. We wonder why. We also wonder how many back-ups Titleist has made for him. Plenty.
- When more info comes out about the Olson putter, we’ll share.
