More to do with youngsters coming into the game and the impressionable American teenagers I reckon.

As far as I recall from when this was discussed last Autumn, a guy i know who is very much inside the Rory camp said that Rory had just signed a 3 year deal with Oakley and re-signed to Titleist. So should be no changes until beginning of 2015 if ever.

I have a training shoe as a driver now!!!!
I would think Nike would move mountains to get Rory on board but sadly business doesn't work that way. I think in time they will get his man but not until the other deals expire. 2015 would be the earliest. To be honest would he want to really switch? His Titleists have served him well and they will no doubt be moving forward in R&D for the next generation of gear
if he did move then Nike would simply make him a set of clubs exactly like the ones he has, when Tiger moved Nike made him a driver that was quite similar (looked an exact copy) to the Titleist one he used

Heard from a reliable source last night that McIlroy is tied to Titleist untill 2015 and is very happy with them, Titleist are unlikely to have their deal bought out. Also McIlroy will don the Titleist brand on the front of his cap from next year again after his deal at Jumeriah expires.
Unsure how this will turn out but ive no reason at all to doubt the source.

I'm not sure if Snelly was sarcastic or serious...

According to the BBC (not saying they are right) Rory's deal with Titleist ends this year.

Interesting. Seems to be gathering pace and Nike have just saved a fortune ditching Armstrong.
Val remember if this does go ahead to take what your 'reliable' source says with a pinch of salt..

My source Dodger works with tour pro's (including McIlroy) for said club manufacturer, i've no reason to doubt what he said regardless of the outcome.

Several articles in the press state that his contract with Titleist runs out at the end of this year. It seems unlikely he'll wear their name on his hat next year if that's the case.

He works for Titleist, I had no reason to doubt him.
I'd doubt him if Rory isn't actually tied to Titleist til 15,isn't going to wear their name on his cap and isn't actually very happy with them.:mmm:
Time will tell though.

Like I said mate, no reason to doubt him at the time. He was adamant he wasn't going anywhere, surprised at the fact his deal is up this year as reported despite him say tied till '15 though.
