The deal is reportedly worth £77m ($100m) after spending the early part of this year alternating between Taylor Made and Callaway clubs. McIlroy will use TaylorMade M2 woods, prototype blade irons and the TP5x ball.

Time to show the world what you’re really made of.

McIlroy said: “I tested different combinations, a lot of different stuff, and I came to the conclusion that this was the best way forward for me to try and improve, try and win more, try to get back to world No1, try to win more majors. So I’m really excited about that.

“I tested quite a few balls and the one that I landed on was really it; the ball was what led me to this point because this is the best ball I’ve ever hit. Then it was just about trying to match everything up to that.”
