   I obviously have no idea what the Schneiderjans family financial situation is…im just going to stereotype and assume its solid. I say this because when a young kid who is coming from a low income family/bad neighborhood/ etc…takes a big contract or takes on a new sponsor etc in psorts (basketball, football)…it totally makes sense to me.

   In the case of most kids who are becoming pro golfers, its safe to say that while the additional endorsements would be nice, its not the main objective…its to become successful on tour. In Ollies case, he is so good that he can legitimately be one of the better players in the world.

   So…to get to my point, if this kid obviously loved Titleist equipment and had TONS of success with it…to the point that he is already putting himself in position to win major championships, why change?

   I have no idea what the Cally contract is compared to what Titleist offered, but is that extra $XYZ worth playing equipment that you are not used to that you have had no success with?

   And he’s a fascinating study in club fitting, all his irons are the same length, all his woods the same length.

     I’m pretty sure that was bryson dechambeau from SMU who was also in the U.S. open this year. Unless they both set their clubs up that way, which they might. Just don’t remember hearing schniederjans setting his clubs up that way.

     That’s some what true, more true 15-20 years ago. But all the top OEM’s make really good equipment these days and can make this fellow pretty much whatever he wants. Plus pay him a lot to use it.

       not dissing Callaway. They have great equipment and best players in the world. However I would say that Callaway is not the first choice for young guns. Most great names have played Titleist in their early days – Phil, Tiger, Rory, Sergio, … – then over time obviously got new $$$ deals
