How come Brandt Snedeker plays all taylormade clubs but wears a bridgestone hat?

Question

I'm assuming he plays the bridgestone ball, but he plays a Burner TP driver, rescue TP hybrid and r7 TP irons. He also wears all adidas clothes, so i wonder why taylormade wouldn't pay him to wear their hat??? He's a rookie of the year and is very fun to watch....

Answer 1

It is not uncommon for Bridgestone.  A few years a go Nick Price played custom-made clubs without an endorsement deal.  Nick still wore a Precept or Bridgestone hat because he played their ball and wore a Bridgestone glove.

Answer 2

Bridgestone are his official equipment sponsor although he only uses their 3 wood and their golf ball and wears their hat. It really depends on what is specified in his contract with them i.e. sometimes there will be a minimum amount of clubs they need have in the bag. His clothing sponsor is Adidas who own Taylor Made.

Answer 3

It's all about the contracts you sign. Pro golfers do what they do and play what they play contractually.

Answer 4

Because Snedeker is sponsored by Bridgestone, Adidas and Wyndham Hotels, obviously he wears their stuff (or drives on it in the case of Bridgestone).  I guess he likes Taylormade clubs and will probably be sponsored by them - especially if he wins the Masters!
