TaylorMade launched its new golf driver, the Qi35, on Tuesday, January 7. That same day, Scottie Scheffler, Nelly Korda, and most of the stars in the brand's sponsorship portfolio posted about the new club on their social media profiles.
Scheffler posted two photos and a video clip on his Instagram account of himself trying out the new TaylorMade club. The Men's World No. 1 captioned the post with the following text:
"Loving the new look of the Qi35 driver. Was able to test it out at the end of last year and really liked what I was seeing. I can’t wait to hit it out on the course."
Meanwhile, Nelly Korda also took to Instagram to post pictures of herself testing the new driver. The Women's World No. 1 also confirmed in the same post that she will be using the Qi35 next season:
"Loving the look of the new Qi35 driver from @taylormadegolf. Looking forward to this upcoming season."
Other TaylorMade player ambassadors such as Brooke Henderson, Charley Hull, and Tommy Fleetwood also posted pictures and videos of their impressions of the new Qi35 driver.
