Adams Golf Expands Tour Staff

Is it possible that Plano-based Adams Golf might be thinking of itself as a challenger to the Big Boys (Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, Nike)? That's the first thought that entered my mind when I read the news that Adams has signed Rory Sabbatini and Aaron Baddeley to endorsement deals.

Adams has always had a strong presence on the Champions Tour, with Tom Watson, et.al. And Adams has signed LPGA stars in the past, including, currently, Brittany Lincicome. But Adams' presence on the PGA Tour has usually been limited to second-tier players.

But Sabbatini and Baddeley are big names. Both golfers are in the Top 20 in the world rankings.
