Sergio Garcia splits with Callaway; using Ping and TaylorMade clubs in Abu Dhabi

Sergio Garcia has split with Callaway after two mixed years using the brand’s equipment.

The Spaniard signed with the company in 2018 after 15 years with TaylorMade. In a statement to Golf Digest, a Callaway spokesperson confirmed the split as well as commenting that they had parted on great terms.

“We can confirm Callaway did not renew its agreement with Sergio Garcia for the 2020 season. We parted on great terms and the option for Sergio to carry Callaway equipment in the future remains.”

Garcia has won twice on the European Tour since 2018, and once on the Asian Tour, but has struggled for consistency, missing six of his last eight cuts at major championships in this period.

Curious. I believe it’s an ouch for Callaway. Not one of their clubs carried over into his new set.

Think that it reflects well on Pings blueprint irons and their 410 Driver. Notice Colin Montgomorie uses this too!

Very good move on Callaway’s part. Long overdue but glad to see them cut the line nonetheless…

Not surprised, with his inconsistent play and poor on-course behavior, Sergio is that last person most companies want to sign right now.

  Bro did you RTFA? They parted ways amicably, seems like it was more Sergio’s choice than anything.

    I’ll translate Callaway’s statement since you cannot read between the lines: “We didn’t want Sergio back. Maybe he’ll play our clubs in 2035.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
