McIlroy said this week in Dubai he isn’t concerned about switching equipment.
“I’ve tinkered about a little bit with the new ones, enough to feel comfortable going into next season,” McIlroy said. “I think all the manufacturers make great equipment nowadays and it’s all very similar. A lot of them get their clubs made at the same factories. I don’t think it will make any difference.”
Nike Golf has to hope that’s not necessarily the case.
