Boasting an already impressive team that includes some of golf’s most powerful icons, TaylorMade Golf Company has announced the expansion of its industry-leading global Tour staff for the 2013 season. Among the list of professionals signing new equipment deals to represent TaylorMade include Major Champion Stewart Cink and 2012 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, John Huh. TaylorMade has also signed two-time PGA Tour winner, Ryan Moore as well as J.J. Henry, Chad Campbell and Brian Davis.

Cink, winner of the 2009 Open Championship, will wear a TaylorMade hat, use a TaylorMade bag and play the new R1 driver. He will also wear Ashworth apparel. Huh has signed an 11-club deal and is playing the R1 and new RocketBallz Stage 2 3-wood.

“We are excited to build on another landmark year for our organisation and we’re confident our new class of Tour staff professionals will amplify and reinforce our positioning as the undisputed industry leader around the world,” said Chuck Presto, Senior Vice President of Global Sports Marketing.

In addition to its fresh faces, TaylorMade has announced the re-signing of two of its longest standing Tour staff professionals, Retief Goosen and Sean O’Hair.

Goosen, twice a U.S. Open Champion and the owner of 44 professional victories, will continue to wear a TaylorMade hat, carry a TaylorMade bag and play a full complement of TaylorMade equipment including the new LETHAL golf ball. Goosen will also wear Ashworth apparel.

Sean O’Hair, meanwhile, re-signed his agreement with TaylorMade at the conclusion of the 2012 PGA Tour season and will continue to wear a TaylorMade hat, Ashworth apparel and play a full complement of TaylorMade equipment, including the new RocketBladez Tour irons.
