HARRIS ENGLISH SWITCHES FROM
PING TO CALLAWAY CLUBS 

Harris English is the latest US PGA Tour pro to switch equipment affiliations, joining the Callaway staff.

“I’ve been really happy with the new Callaway clubs,” said English. "And the team at Callaway has been fantastic. In a short period of time, I’ve been able to take advantage of the resources they have and I’m excited about the start of the 2014 season."
English was previously under contract with Ping.
Already with two career victories in his first two-plus seasons – including one at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in November – the 24-year-old is among the brightest up-and-coming players in the American pro ranks.
He’s a long hitter, too, which is a trademark of many Callaway signees. He averaged 295.2 yards per drive last season (35^th on Tour) and is averaging 294.3 in four starts already this season.

DeLaet has joined Puma Golf for the next three years. 
He'll wear the hat, shirt and pants (trousers), while maintaining his shoe contract with FootJoy.
He'll continue to wear the FJ glove as well, while also re-signing with Titleist to play its clubs and ball for the next three years.
