Golf Clubs - Bridgestone - New Deal on the Cards

In a period of time renowned for new contracts and renegotiating existing ones – it has been speculated that a new deal between Charles Howell III and Bridgestone could be announced shortly, in a deal that would see Charles using Bridgestone golf balls and golf clubs. Howell could be using balls and clubs as soon as the Merrilll Lynch Shootout at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida. Howell had been allowed an early release from his contract with Callaway Golf.

Charles had used Callaway golf equipment since 2000 after turning professional and has since been prominent in all marketing communications from the golf equipment manufacturer. Having earned his second PGA Tour win in 2008 and coming 18th on golf’s big money list. He was supposedly denied the use of a Callaway driver designed specifically for the Asian market, causing him to request the early termination of his sponsorship deal.

Callaway has confirmed that his sponsorship contract was not about to expire – yet failed to confirm with the media how long Howell had left on his contract or reasons for quitting.

The deal with Bridgestone would see Howell join an impressive line-up of PGA Tour players, including Fred Couples, Brandt Snedeker and Stuart Appleby. Howell’s ranking would see him becoming the team’s highest ranking player.
