I cannot wait to see if Rory debuts in Hawaii on Thurs. with the hot, new NIKE Convert Tour driver! Possibly Tiger as well.
 
Think they already said they wasn't playing
 
Neither Rory or Tiger are playing
 
Is Rory or Tiger even playing in this event? I haven't heard if they are or not.


EDIT - I wasn't the only one wondering this, apparently. LOL.
 
He's not playing. Kyle Stanley and Nick Watney are, which might explain why they got announced as part of Nike today.
 
Well Stanley and Watney should be rocking it.
 
I hope Stanley gets a little TV time this week. They sometimes like to bring a Trackman out on one of the tees and televise the numbers on some of the tee shots. I'd love to see the numbers he gets.
 
Apologies, did not think to check whether Rors would be playing this week.

NIKE is just luring everyone away from Titleist!

Interesting to see nick hit an 11.5
 
Weird. Pro playing a 11.5* driver. Heheh. More loft can be helpful for even the best of the best.
 
Thanks for sharing, Rafdo. Watney with 11.5 Covert and Stanley without a PW is interesting.
 
Interesting that Stanley would go with the VR Pro Ltd over the VRs.
 
No Rory or Tiger and I could care less. Always enjoy watching this thing.
 
He's not playing. Kyle Stanley and Nick Watney are, which might explain why they got announced as part of Nike today.

Exactly. I was about to say that Rory hasn't been announced yet.
 
Stanley must have got to keep his putter
 
Awesome that Stanley hits a 2 iron.
 
Nike doesn't do 13 club deals, but they do offer aN adjustment period.

That's interesting. I didn't know that. I would think they could find Method similar to his SC though.
 
Anyone think that maybe Stanley just hasn't found a putter that he likes yet from Nike? Method for sure, but maybe he has a "proto" being built or something.
