Pros who play TEE?

[BigJim13]

Since the Exotics line has such a following here I was curious about what pros might actually play them, whether it be FW's or Drivers? I see almost no sponsorship on tour of TEE, actually now that I think of it I cannot name one player sponsored by TEE. There has to be some pro's playing TEE, who are they?

I've never seen any playing TEE. They might not spend money on endorsements... who knows.

May be in part due also to their FW's and hybrids are the only with any bit of notoriety for success. Pro's would likely be tied in to using the entire line.

Many endorsement deals are for 12, 13, or 14 clubs. If there's a slot... a single club choice, it's not likely to be a fairway wood. Most will use that discriminatory spot for a driver of choice or a putter of choice.

The TEE's are known for their excellent distance. Pros don't "need" the extra distance many amateurs drool for. The pros are more about repeatability and accuracy. They need to know the 3 wood is a 245 or 249 or 254 club. And, they can get the distances needed to fill gaps between driver and other fairways or hybrids with fairways from the major endorsing manufacturer.

TEE's have done well in the bags of amateurs. That's their niche. The have one bag on the LPGA. (Can't remember who.) I wouldn't look for them to establish a very expensive prominence on the regular tour.

Maybe none has been around his forum, since everyone who comes here seems to end up loving TEE (I include myself).
