He will play Callaway woods, an Odyssey putter and will wear a Callaway hat in competition. “I’m excited to officially join Callaway, and after playing their equipment over the past several years. I feel really confident about making the switch,” Ancer said in a statement. “The performance from their drivers is always impressive, their putters are outstanding, and I’ve developed a strong relationship with their Tour Team. This is a great fit for me, and I can’t wait to get this new year started.” Ancer used a Callaway Epic Speed Driver and an Odyssey putter in his win at TPC Southwind. He finished ninth in last season’s FedExCup standings and is currently 17th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He is seeking to make his second Presidents Cup team this year after playing for the Internationals in 2019. Callaway also announced that it has signed reigning U.S. Women’s Open champion Yuka Saso.

Cameron Champ WD from Sentry Tournament of Champions after positive COVID-19 testCameron Champ WD from Sentry Tournament of Champions after positive COVID-19 test
Cameron Champ has withdrawn from the Sentry Tournament of Champions after testing positive for COVID-19. Champ qualified for the field after earning his third PGA TOUR victory at last year’s 3M Open. The field for the Sentry Tournament of Champions is now 38 players. “Cameron is naturally quite disappointed not to be able to return to action in Maui,” Champ’s representatives said in a statement. “Thankfully, however, he feels good and we were able to confirm this breakthrough case whilst he was still at home in Houston.” This was scheduled to be Champ’s first start on TOUR since a missed cut at the Fortinet Championship in September. An injury to his left wrist forced him to sit out the remainder of the year. Champ, 26, finished T31, T14 and T11 in his previous three Sentry appearances (he qualified for the 2021 Sentry by qualifying for the 2020 TOUR Championship).
