It is a pretty cool storyline so far. It's probably just a coincidence but it makes you wonder how much (if any) performance Tour Players give up when they commit to one brand.
Oh you're right it's probably making a mountain out of a mole hill, but still fun to ponder.
Then again as I read the stories of folks getting full bag fittings here at brand agnostic locations, not many of them end up with a full bag of one OEM.
