Who pays, and what gets played

Brand share across the bag, weighted by how often each maker is reported rather than by how many products carry its name — one driver named in ninety reports is not the equal of a grip named once.

Concentrated. 71% of Louis Oosthuizen’s cited equipment is Ping, the shape a full equipment contract makes.

The bag
