Hot on the heels of the recent announcement that Tiger Woods would be hitting with TaylorMade equipment this coming season, the recent Farmers Insurance Open proved to be the showcase event. Using the brand new clubs for the first time, Woods looked confident and in style as he arrived at the event, hoping to use the tournament as a platform for the coming season.

As part of the several year deal, Woods will be making use of the TaylorMade M5 driver and 3-wood, which he showed to the world on the opening day. Shown here at TaylorMade.
The deal doesn’t include clothing and apparel, and Woods will obviously stick to his profitable Nike deal, as well as wearing his own patented TW brand. TaylorMade however will be his first choice for equipment, and hot on the heels of using the M3 type at East Lake, Woods showed off his new M3 5-wood, in a bag clearly marked with P7 TW.

New Season
Eager to showcase his new branding, Woods is looking to start the season in style, and hopes to continue onwards to perhaps reach the dizzy heights of his earlier career. Currently the world number 12, Woods is hoping to recover from earlier controversies and focus on the green, rather than the tabloid headlines. With new sponsorship deals coming to the fore, it looks like the commercial world is backing Woods to make his mark on the golfing world once more, and starting with the Farmers Insurance Open, looks set to use the tournament as a platform for growth and success. His new TaylorMade clubs are also hoping to have a huge hand in the season’s success, showcasing the brand to the many millions of Tiger Woods fans across the globe, whether they follow golf closely or not.
