I have been fortunate enough to be a on course player escort for the PGA and as we know golf is like fishing in it's a very intensive sponsor sport. I don't think I ever saw a player with the "latest and greatest" with the exception of newly sponsored young up and coming players. All the established pros used older gear and a few used different brands than what they were "pusing". Sure the head covers, bags, hats, etc. said they were using the new LongBall3 but they would pull the cover off and it was their well worn LongBall1.
