Brooks Koepka Is A Gear Free Agent Once Again

Brooks Koepka has always been a golfer who, from the outside, likes to do things a little differently, and on the heels of a surprise announcement this morning, he'll get that chance once again after splitting with his official equipment supplier, Srixon.

After Nike left the hard goods equipment space in 2016, Brooks went the route of a lot of players and became an equipment free agent. During this time, he played a wide variety of gear from Titleist, TaylorMade, and, most notably, Mizuno irons, and won 4 Majors, including back-to-back U.S. Opens.

In 2021, he made the decision to sign an official agreement with Srixon to play their ball and irons, plus Cleveland wedges, since both live under the Dunlop Sports Brand. Srixon even went as far as bringing the tour-only prototype Brooks was using to retail: the Srixon Z-Star Diamond.

Although he did put their driver into play for several events, he never committed to playing it and usually relied on a TaylorMade or Titleist to go along with his old TaylorMade M2 Tour fairway wood.

But recently, the usual tinker-resistant Brooks has made a few changes to his gear, including putting a TaylorMade Spider into play and switching back to a Titleist ball.

If I were to play the role of speculator, I imagine the announcement today is based on his inability to commit to playing a Srixon ball, mixed with Brooks looking to free up his options when it comes to other parts of his club setup.

As for now, we will wait and see if any other changes are coming to his bag, as he looks to work his way up the FedEx Cup rankings and earn his way into the PGA TOUR Signature events.
