Free agent no longer: Dufner signs equipment deal with Cobra GolfFree agent no longer: Dufner signs equipment deal with Cobra Golf
Five-time PGA TOUR winner Jason Dufner, who has been an equipment free agent since 2018, has signed a multi-year partnership with Cobra ahead of the 2019 Mayakoba Golf Classic. For those who keep up with equipment, this news may not come as a shock. Dufner played a Cobra King F9 Speedback driver throughout much of 2019, and he also switched into a mixed set of Cobra King irons and King wedges later in the year. Now that it’s official, Dufner joins fellow PGA TOUR pros Rickie Fowler and Bryson DeChambeau on Cobra’s staff. “I couldn’t be more excited to join the Cobra team,� Dufner said in a press release. “The success of Rickie and Bryson over the past few years with Cobra equipment certainly piqued my interest in the brand. When I tested their products, I was impressed by the improvement in my numbers across the board and by the look and feel of their equipment. I had been testing a variety of products over the past year, and Cobra has proven to be the best for me.� Dufner, winner of the 2013 PGA Championship, has garnered a huge fan following due to his sense of humor and happy-go-lucky attitude, and his entertaining social media posts. Also, as PGATOUR.COM learned in a recent Q&A, Dufner is very in-tune with his equipment. It seems that Cobra has recognized those qualities, as well. “At Cobra, our goal is to align with the best athletes and ambassadors who are not only talented golfers but are also engaging and authentic on and off the course,� said Dan Ladd, Executive Vice President, General Manager of Cobra Puma Golf, in a press release. “To that end, we are excited to officially announce Jason Dufner as the newest member of our team. In addition to his unique personality, Dufner is known for his impressive ball-striking ability, as well as being one of the most sophisticated, technically-savvy pros out there when it comes to choosing what’s in his bag, and we’re honored that someone as discerning as he is, has chosen our equipment as he looks towards the next stage of an already impressive career.� Here are the Cobra clubs in Dufner’s bag, according to the company, as he’s set to make his first start as a Cobra staffer in Mexico: Driver: Cobra King F9 Speedback (10.5 degrees) Shaft: LA Golf OLYSS 6X Driving Iron: Cobra King (4-iron) Shaft: LA Golf Rev A prototype Irons: Cobra King Forged CB (5-PW) Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue AMT S400 Wedges: Cobra King V-Grind (52, 56 and 62 degrees) Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400

Sleeper Picks: Mayakoba Golf ClassicSleeper Picks: Mayakoba Golf Classic
Carlos Ortiz … Only he and Abraham Ancer represent Mexico with status on the PGA TOUR, but a total of seven natives of the host country for the Mayakoba Golf Classic are in this week’s field of 132. It includes Ortiz’ younger brother, Alvaro. Carlos is rested since a T4 at the Houston Open where he thrived on a fantastic short game. Three starts prior, he also finished T4 at the Sanderson Farms Championship where he excelled tee to green. This is his sixth appearance at El Camaleón. He debuted with a T9 in 2014 and owns a scoring average of 69.56 in 16 rounds. Ryan Armour … As a 43-year-old who never will be mistaken as a long hitter, it’d be a shame if he didn’t commit to the Mayakoba Golf Classic. He’s one of the most accurate off the tee on the PGA TOUR. Consider that in each of the last three completed seasons, he’s ranked either first or second in fairways hit and/or shortest distance from the edge of the fairway on drives that don’t find the shortest grass. A solo fourth as a rookie in the inaugural edition in 2007 was his first of four career top fives on TOUR. It was love at first sight. He also placed T21 last year and arrives for his fifth appearance with a T23 in Houston and a T8 in Bermuda in his most recent competitions. Brice Garnett … Sometimes, you want to be cliché. The 36-year-old not only does his best work tee to green, but he’s also proven how this formula works at Mayakoba time, and time, and time again. Since 2014, he’s 4-for-4 with three top 10s, a T25 and a scoring average of 67.81. After enduring a quiet first half of 2019, he found his gear in Detroit at the end of June. Since a T17 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, he’s gone for five top 25s among eight cuts made in 10 starts. It also cannot be ignored that he prevailed on paspalum at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship in 2018. Harold Varner III … The non-winner isn’t a veteran ball-striker, but neither were John Huh (2012) and Patton Kizzire (2017) when they prevailed for the first time on the PGA TOUR at El Camaleón Golf Club. Proper courses reward those who are willing and can adapt to the test. In three appearances, HV3 has a T5 (2015) and a T6 (2018). His scoring average in 10 rounds is 68.20. It’s a trend that’s expected to continue as he arrives in form. Since mid-July, he’s 9-for-9 with a trio of top-20s finishes. J.J. Spaun … Course-history buffs will label his inclusion on this page as lazy, while devotees of recent form will call their bluff. See, since his first appearance with a T28 as a rookie in 2016, he’s added a T14 and a T3, respectively. His scoring average in those 12 rounds is a sporty 67.75. However, he arrives having gone nine consecutive starts without posting a top 35 and only one top-45 finish (T36, Sanderson Farms). When he plays to his strength as a ball-striker, it’s rewarded here, but he’s yet to find the grip on the toolbox this season. So, however you come at him, he’s compelling. NOTE: Sleeper is a relative term, so Rob uses unofficial criteria to determine who qualifies. Each of the following usually is determined to be ineligible for this weekly staple: Winners of the tournament on the current host course; winners in the same season; recent major champions; top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking; recent participants of team competitions.
