TaylorMade Golf Announce Multi-Year Contract Extension With Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler has signed a new multi-year contract with TaylorMade to continue using their equipment
It's all happening in the world of Scottie Scheffler with the newly-crowned PGA Tour Player of the Year signing a new contract extension with his club manufacturer TaylorMade.
Scheffler picked up his second successive Jack Nicklaus award in Hawaii ahead of The Sentry tournament which is the 2024 PGA Tour curtain-raiser this season.
Playing with TaylorMade irons since 2020, Scheffler became a full Team TaylorMade staffer in 2022, and was using the company's driver, fairways woods and irons when he won The Masters that year as part of his lightning four-win burst.
Scheffler added two more wins in 2023 as he compiled a remarkable statistical season - finishing with 13 top-fives and recording the lowest scoring average of the season, with his 68.63 the lowest ever recorded by a player not named Tiger Woods.
The World No.1 retained his WM Phoenix Open title and also added The Players Championship during an ultra-consistent 2023 - where he claimed a record $21,014,342 in prize money.
So the 27-year-old is seemingly extremely comfortable with what's in his bag, leading to a contract extension to continue playing with TaylorMade gear.
“Scottie has ascended to the top of golf’s world rankings with an uncompromising commitment to hard work, continuous improvement in every facet of his game, a champion’s mindset, and an expectation to meet the highest standard for his golf equipment," said TaylorMade Golf CEO and President David Abeles.

TaylorMade says Scheffler is still testing for his final equipment set-up for the 2024 season, but expect him to use the Qi10 driver and 3-wood along with a full set of P7TW irons.
The new Qi10 driver was in the hands of Tiger Woods at the Hero World Challenge, while Rory McIlroy has also had a go at using it in Dubai.

He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
