He's still playing Bridgestone balla and has more than a simple sponsorship relationship.
Mickleson has lost most of his sponsers and Callaway have “paused” their player contract
Has anyone ever gone out and bought something because a golfer was advertising something on his shirt ?
The obvious answer to that is yes. Otherwise you know something that the biggest brands in the world do not, and you could save them millions, if not billions, by telling them to not bother. People may not go out and directly buy something because they see a logo (and some do), but the very fact the logo is there will mean that it becomes recognisable to many, and so when they do go out an buy a shirt, they may consciously or subconsciously have some sort of bias towards that particular brand.
thanks for the heads up, am off to Thailand next month but have already booked with Singapore, but hope to fly to England next year so will check out there prices.
I think they will be quoting Catherine Tate at this point. As Beezerk has pointed out, the stance of sponsors is frequently temporary, others step in. JT was a pariah but is now fully plastered with logos, clothing sponsor again.
I don’t think that’s the point is it ?
Companies pay the players a lot of more to “advertise” their company and golf companies pay a lot to make these players staff players
If sponsoring the players has no benefit for the companies then why do they do it ?
And yes some people will buy ping , titleist, TM etc because some players use them
Right now the exposure for those companies is negative for some hence why moving away from the players
