I know there are millions of reasons most of them to do with this $.

There have been a few threads about this give them a read and see what you think;-


Big Rumor

Big rumor confirmed...

Titleist clubs

Personally I think Callaway wanted a big name on the European tour. They put lots of time and dedication into there big name Staff players (PM, AS, CHIII). That coupled with a great deal financially and the fact Accushnet may be winding down the Titleist brand and pushing the Cobra brand to a wider audience. Maybe Els couldn't picture himself with the Trendy Cobra staffers and didn't fancy that switch? Titlesit biggest staffer now is Adam Scott he would fit in with the Cobra boy's no problem.

It was cash. Straight up business. Nothing more.
