Justin Rose signs endorsement deal with McLaren Golf
The 45-year-old Englishman will use the brand's new blade irons this week at Trump National Doral.
Justin Rose is no longer an equipment free agent. The 45-year-old Englishman, currently ranked No. 5 in the Official World Golf Ranking , has signed an endorsement deal with McLaren Golf , a new equipment brand tied to the McLaren Racing group.
As part of the agreement, Rose will also serve as an investor and global ambassador for the company, which is making its competitive debut this week. Rose will compete this week at the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral with a set of McLaren blade irons and a staff bag featuring the brandโs signature papaya color scheme. It marks the first time the equipment will be used in PGA Tour competition.
For Rose, the move represents a shift after spending the past few seasons without a full-time equipment contract. He won at Torrey Pines in January and now has 13 career PGA Tour victories and has won more than $77 million in career earnings. According to the company, Rose has been involved with the project for nearly two years, working closely with engineers and designers to test prototypes and provide feedback.
