I can't see him going to Taylormade if he's still gonna be wearing Nike clothing, unless adidas sell TM very soon. A lot of it is going to depend on what his contract with Nike says and how the legal people sort that out.
I think regardless of where he goes its very likely he'll be using a scotty cameron putter.
I think you could be right. Going back to Titleist is a big slap in the face and TM is owned by adidas
Scotty, definitely
In fact, 2002 PGA champion Rich Beem believes McIlroy -- who was nearly DFL in SG: putting before missing the cut at last week's PGA -- had his eye on a new putter during the season’s final major at Baltusrol.
"His locker was right across from mine during the week and he came in on one of the days," Beem told NewsTalk. com on Tuesday. "He’d just gotten a brand new Scotty Cameron putter, which looked exactly like the one he won with at the U.S. Open in Congressional and I said, 'can I see it?' I said, 'man, that thing is pretty' and he goes 'yeah, isn't it?’
"I could see this gleam in his eye, like he really wanted to take it out and hit it on the putting green and yet I don't think he did because of contractual obligations," Beem added. "But you kind of feel bad for the guy that's locked in to a contract with a manufacturer. It doesn't feel like he can go out and really play with a golf club that he really wants to play with — even looking at a different putter for a change can certainly change your attitude, thinking and feel.
"Something's got to give," said Beem, "because he is too good of a ball-striker from tee to green to go out there and struggle so mightily on those greens."
