Tiger Woods will be hitting his Bridgestone golf balls with TaylorMade golf clubs.
Woods and TaylorMade announced an equipment deal Wednesday, one day before Woods is set to play at Torrey Pines at the Farmers Insurance Open.
After several months of testing and all brands to choose from, the choice is clearly @TaylorMadeGolf. Proud to join the family! -TW pic.twitter.com/Ist3bA5tqN

The deal is for metalwoods, wedges, and reportedly custom irons.
Woods was looking for new equipment after Nike announced its exit from the market. He joins Jason Day and Dustin Johnson on the TaylorMade team.
Tiger will have a '16 TaylorMade M2 driver (9.5 degrees), '17 M2 3-wood (13 degrees) and M1 5-wood (19 degrees) this week.
