It was four paragraphs in length, clean and professional. The kind of statement where both sides mentioned clearly decided to shake hands and part ways without any drama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Effective today, the equipment partnership between Brooks Koepka and Dunlop Sports Americas, parent company of Srixon and Cleveland Golf, is over. Mutually agreed, the release says. And by the tone of it, that appears to be exactly what it was.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:440px\" fetchpriority=\"high\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/89722396007-getty-images-2270750874.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Brooks Koepka of the United States plays his shot from the 11th tee during the second round of the 2026 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 10, 2026 in Augusta, Georgia.\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">No fireworks. No messy public breakup. Just a genuine acknowledgment of what was built together since <a href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/2021\/11\/22\/pga-tour-brooks-koepka-golf-equipment-cleveland-srixon\/76472167007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">the parternship started in 2021<\/a> and a polite sendoff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">So, now, one of the five greatest major champions of his generation is an equipment free agent. Three PGA Championships. Two U.S. Opens. And as of this morning, nobody owns his bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">As a free agent, Koepka can now play whatever clubs he wants, whenever he wants, for whatever reason he chooses. He has no contracts or obligations to fulfill, so his personal preferences will be his guide.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:6|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">At the 2026 Masters, Koepka used a <a href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/2024\/08\/01\/titleist-gt2-gt3-gt4-drivers\/74630274007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Titleist GT3 driver<\/a> and a TaylorMade M2 4-wood, and a Nike Vapor Fly 3-iron along with his <a href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/2020\/11\/16\/srixon-zx5-zx7-irons\/76529578007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Srixon ZX7 irons<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/equipment\/2025\/01\/08\/cleveland-rtz-wedges-new-2025\/77098574007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Cleveland RTZ wedges<\/a>.

But what happens next for Koepka is the interesting part because Dunlop Sports has amassed a strong stable of players that it can lean on. J.J. Spaun used Srixon irons and Cleveland wedges to win the U.S. Open at Oakmont last summer. Hideki Matsuyama won the 2021 Masters using Srixon and Cleveland clubs, and Keegan Bradley has routinely been in contention on the PGA Tour at multiple events every season, including last year when he won the Travelers Championship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Still, equipment companies don\u2019t let players like Koepka drift for long. He\u2019s a big name, with a recognizable face, who is making a return to the PGA Tour after leaving LIV Golf at the end of 2025. He has the kind of game and style that makes a marketing department feel good about writing a check. Someone will come calling. Maybe they already have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The timing of this announcement is interesting, coming two weeks before the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club outside Philadelphia. These things don\u2019t happen in a vacuum, and four and a half years is an odd amount of time for a player endorsement deal, so it will be interesting to hear what Koepka says when he is asked about this before the start of the season\u2019s second major.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">What\u2019s next, we don\u2019t know yet. But Koepka golf bag will tell us eventually.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/78188033007-76927494007-daviddusek.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 30, 2026, 10:15 a.m. ET Brooks Koepka and Dunlop Sports Americas have mutually agreed to end their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3023],"tags":[58,1347,1424,59,95,96,3146,3147,3061,65,102,103,69,299,193,67,3145,187,62],"class_list":["post-4913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cleveland","tag-accessfree","tag-cleveland","tag-oh","tag-sourcegolfweek","tag-sstssportsgolfequipment","tag-sstsnequipment","tag-tagbrooks-koepka","tag-tagcleveland","tag-tagcompany-news","tag-taggolf","tag-taggolf-equipment","tag-taggolfweek-golf-equipment","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagpga-championship","tag-tagpga-tour","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagsrixon","tag-tagstory-highlights-ai-enabled","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
