Overview
- Rose, who announced the deal Monday, has joined McLaren Golf as its first global ambassador and an investor and will switch into the brand’s clubs this week.
- He plans to tee it up at the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral with a papaya McLaren staff bag and the company’s logo on his apparel.
- McLaren Golf’s official launch is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, timed to the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix for maximum visibility in the city.
- Reports say Rose is expected to play McLaren Series 1 irons from 5-iron to pitching wedge plus a Series 3 4-iron, and he says he helped test and shape the designs.
- The in-season change comes as Rose rides strong form—two PGA Tour wins since August, back-to-back top‑3 finishes at the Masters, and the Tour lead in greens hit—drawing scrutiny given his past rocky switch to Honma and offering an immediate gauge of McLaren’s tour readiness.
