New year, new gear.
January is always a busy time in the golf equipment sphere, and the Transfer Window has already kicked into gear, with players on all tours set to put new gear into play and brands set to unveil new signings.
So far, we’ve seen new not-yet-released drivers from Callaway and Ping being played out on tour, new drivers spotted on the USGA conforming list and also some new signings from brands. With just one practice day in the books at the PGA Tour’s Sentry Tournament of Champions, we’re limited with what we’ve seen just yet but here’s what we know so far…

It would replace the G400 driver, which has been one of the best golf drivers on the market since its launch. The American has also been spotted with some new headwear, more on that later…

NEW WILSON SIGNINGS
Wilson is set to unveil two new signings on the PGA Tour, and after a quick scroll through the comments, it seems that many are predicting one of them to be Kevin Kisner due to the silhouettes posted in this social media teaser.
Kisner had been a Callaway staffer for a number of years but late last year put a new set of Wilson irons in the bag as well as Vokey wedges and the same new Ping driver as Trey Mullinax. Whilst we’re talking about…
