Tiger Woods’ indoctrination to TaylorMade equipment has been slow and steady. In advance of this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, Tiger’s first start since the Masters last month, Woods took to social media to announce that he will be playing a new set of TaylorMade irons this week at Quail Hollow.
The TW·Phase1 irons replace Woods’ TGR Prototype irons, which were the last clubs the Nike team made for him. Over the course of his latest return from spinal fusion surgery, Woods has put TaylorMade drivers, fairway woods and driving irons in the bag, but the introduction of the TW·Phase1 irons signifies the biggest wholesale change Woods has made since joining Team TaylorMade.
