Jon Rahm moved to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings with a sudden-death playoff victory over Andrew Landry at the CareerBuilder Challenge. Rahm rolled in a 12-foot birdie on the fourth playoff hole with his TaylorMade Spider Tour Red putter to secure the win, but it was his strong play off the tee and from the fairway that ultimately gave him so many good looks down the stretch.  Rahm recently replaced his TaylorMade M2 driver and M1 3-wood with the company’s new M4 driver and M3 5-wood at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. The driver features the company’s new Twist Face design that improves accuracy on off-center hits by curving the face more open in the toe portion of the face and more closed toward the heel. During his initial testing session with TaylorMade’s Tour team, Rahm picked up 3 mph ball speed with the M4 driver. For the week, Rahm recorded the longest drive (346 yards), ranked fourth in Strokes Gained: Off the tee (plus 2.406) and fifth in driving distance (309.8 yards).  Rahm also ranked seventh in Strokes Gained: Approach the green (plus 3.524) with a split set of P-Series irons and Milled Grind wedges, including the new Milled Grind Hi-Toe lob wedge TaylorMade recently launched on TOUR.  Here’s a look at Rahm’s entire TaylorMade setup.  Driver: TaylorMade M4 (Aldila Tour Green 75TX shaft), 9.5 degrees 5-wood: TaylorMade M3 (Aldila Tour Green 75TX shaft), 19 degrees Irons: TaylorMade P790 (3-iron; True Temper Project X 6.5 shaft), TaylorMade P750 (4-PW; True Temper Project X 6.5 shafts) Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind (52 and 56 degrees; True Temper Project X 6.5 shafts), TaylorMade Milled Grind Hi-Toe (60 degrees; True Temper Project X 6.5 shaft) Putter: TaylorMade Spider Tour Red Ball: TaylorMade TP5x PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE: Buy equipment here

Let me preface my remarks by reinforcing that the health and safety of our players, employees, partners, volunteers, fans and everybody associated with the PGA TOUR is our top priority.  I’ve spoken to President Trump this morning, and I spoke to Governor Ron DeSantis a few hours ago as well. Our team is in constant communication with local health authorities in each market in which our tournaments are played, and we are tracking and monitoring the health information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization in addition to the travel advisories provided by the U.S. State Department. Both the White House and the Governor’s office have been and are supportive of the precautionary measures we have taken to this point. It goes without saying that this is an incredibly fluid and dynamic situation. We have been and are committed to being responsible, thoughtful and transparent with our decision process. With that as pretext, at this point in time, PGA TOUR events – across all Tours – will currently proceed as scheduled, but will do so without fans. This policy starts at THE PLAYERS Championship tomorrow (Friday) and continues through the Valero Texas Open. It’s important to note, that could change, but for the time being, this decision allows the PGA TOUR, our fans and constituents to plan, prepare and respond as events develop. Further, the recently announced travel advisories and potential logistical issues associated with players and staff traveling internationally limit our ability to successfully stage the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. Therefore, we are going to postpone that event and will provide details in the coming weeks on a reschedule as this situation develops.  We will continue THE PLAYERS with essential personnel only, and we will be in direct conversations with those groups (vendors, broadcasters, media, player support groups, essential volunteers) to provide instructions. This is a difficult situation, one with consequences that impact our players, fans and the communities in which we play. As I said earlier this week, we’ve had a team in place that has been carefully monitoring and assessing the situation and its implications for several weeks. We’ve weighed all the options, and I appreciate the input and collaboration across the TOUR, our industry, our partners and our members that got us to this point. We’ll continue with that collaboration, and I want to thank our fans for supporting the PGA TOUR.
