After playing the first half of the year with a combination of Callaway, TaylorMade and Titleist equipment, Rory McIlroy announced Tuesday that he has signed a multiyear contract to play TaylorMade clubs and balls exclusively going forward. The deal was announced at the Players Championship in McIlroy's first tournament since the Masters.

The deal is reportedly for 10 years and $100 million, according to The Guardian. Combined with McIlroy's 10-year, $200 million extension with Nike, the star golfer has added $300 million in endorsements over the last few months.

McIlroy will play the M2 driver and fairway woods, some Rors Protorype clubs (that he said world No. 1 Dustin Johnson wants to get his hands on) and the TaylorMade TP5x golf ball. He said he didn't love how his Titleist ball was performing and didn't give any other ball a fair chance at the beginning of the year.

"The ball was what led me to this point," McIlroy said Tuesday. He called the TP5x the best ball he has ever hit and said he likes the lack of spin on it.

"It launches high and doesn't spin as much, and I thought that was exactly what I needed," he added to Golf Digest. "If I can get a ball on the lower end of spin, for me that's perfect, and the dispersion into and downwind was much tighter."

As for the sticks, McIlroy will carry the prototypes and has a 1-iron in the bag this week as well.

"They very kindly made me a prototype set of blades that I put in the bag that are beautiful," he said.

I'm pretty sure they would have gone to Mars for the materials if necessary, Rory.

McIlroy is now settling into his second decade on the PGA Tour. He got married shortly after the Masters and now has a long-term equipment deal following Nike's exit from the business last year.

"It's very rare that you really get excited about your equipment, but I am," McIlroy said. "It seems like everything is very settled. If you feel like that off the golf course, I can only imagine it will help you on it."

TaylorMade now has six of the top 12 players in the world with McIlroy, Johnson, Jason Day, Sergio Garcia, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose.
