How did the relationship with Wilson start and what was it that made you sign with them?
I was more attracted to the fact that they wanted to work with me. The guys on the truck were brilliant at doing whatever needed to be done. It was like having a personal service, they made me feel special. It has been the same every year for 22 years. If I called them up tomorrow with some obscure idea they would work on it and get it done for me. They also tend to build the equipment for the player on tour and then bring it to the amateur, whereas I think some other manufacturers could be accused of designing clubs for the amateur player and then forcing the pros into that equipment.
They’re very good at listening to us and the irons are second to none. They’re beautiful, playable irons and that’s because they want their players to be comfortable with their clubs. The wedges are great too.
How open are you to change when it comes to new clubs?
