According to TaylorMade tour rep Adrian Rietveld, Scheffler wants “absolutely nothing inside” his driver’s clubhead that might alter performance in any way.
Scheffler topped the Open field in strokes gained/approach, gaining 9.065 strokes. He was equally impressive on the greens, ranking second in strokes gained/putting for the week at 8.516.
Scheffler confirmed he was among the 50 players whose drivers were tested early in the week at Quail Hollow, and that the TaylorMade Qi10 driver that he planned to use in the championship did not pass testing.
As Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood start their pursuit of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, more under the radar is the fact that their endorsement cheques from one of the biggest equipment manufacturers on the planet might soon have a different signature on them.
TaylorMade’s latest version of its Tour Response and Tour Response Stripe boasts a new core, as well as a new mantle layer designed to increase distance for non-elite swing speeds.
Prepping for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, McIlroy casually hit a few of the 2024 version of TaylorMade’s TP5 ball around the green and began to notice a distinct difference in feel as the ball came off the face of his wedge.
Encompassing all the technology of its TP5 and TP5x golf balls, TaylorMade’s TP5 and TP5x TRK-R golf balls are designed to further enhance the launch-monitor experience. Although the balls are designed for indoor use, they are R&A and USGA-conforming and can be played in competition.
With two easy-to-hit shapes boasting multi-material constructions and a re-imagined TSS weighting system, TaylorMade’s Qi35 rescues – also known as hybrids – are designed to save shots from some of the trickiest distances.
