TaylorMade signs licensing deal with NFL, now offering team logos on golf balls

USA Today24-04-2025

TaylorMade signs licensing deal with NFL, now offering team logos on golf balls Just in time for the 2025 NFL Draft, TaylorMade has rolled out TP5, TP5x and SpeedSoft Ink balls with NFL team logos.
Thursday evening in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the National Football League will hold its annual draft, transforming top college players into pros and igniting fan bases across the United States with hopes of making the playoffs and possibly winning Super Bowl LX next February in Santa Clara, California.
If you want to show your love for your favorite NFL team, TaylorMade now allows you to do it with your golf ball, having announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with the NFL. Starting Thursday, the Carlsbad, California-based equipment maker is offering SpeedSoft Ink and TP5 and TP5x MySymbol NFL golf balls.
The NFL-themed SpeedSoft Ink golf balls will feature the 2025 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys for $34.99 per dozen. Like the standard balls, the NFL version of the SpeedSoft Ink is a two-piece, ionomer-covered ball. Featuring TaylorMade's exceptionally soft PWRCore, the ball should allow every golfer to activate it off the tee for more distance. However, because the SpeedSoft has a 50 compression, it holds the distinction of being the softest-feeling ball in the TaylorMade lineup.
Football fans will be able to choose any of the 32 NFL teams to be featured on TP5 or TP5x MySymbol NFL golf balls for $64.99 per dozen. The TP5 and TP5x are TaylorMade's most-premium balls, featuring a five-piece construction and a urethane cover to enhance greenside spin.
TaylorMade will expand its NFL collection with additional offerings later this year, as the NFL season approaches.

Brother of NFL star commits to Kirby Smart and Georgia football in 2026 recruiting class

Kirby Smart helped Alabama land Minkah Fitzpatrick before he went on to become a five-time Pro Bowl safety in the NFL. Now the Georgia football coach has secured a commitment from his younger brother, Justice Fitzpatrick. Advertisement The 6-foot- 1/2 , 205-pound four-star cornerback from Fort Lauderdale picked the Bulldogs over Texas, Ohio State, Florida and Miami, according to his X account on Tuesday June 3. Smart in 2018 told the recruiting story of Minkah Fitzpatrick to Alabama. Smart and then offensive line coach Mario Cristobal were higher on him than coach Nick Saban. "[Saban] didn't like Minkah at one point," Smart told "That, to me, was just crazy because Mario Cristobal and I were fighting like hell [for Fitzpatrick]. We thought he was such a good kid." Justice Fitzpatrick, who plays for St. Thomas Aquinas, is the nation's No. 47 overall prospect and No. 3 cornerback. Advertisement Minkah Fitzpatrick played at Alabama from 2015-2017, winning the Jim Thorpe Award as nation's top defensive back in his last season. He was a Dolphins first-round pick, but traded from Miami in 2018. He has played with the Steelers since then.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tyler Glasnow is feeling optimistic about his recovery from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him since late April, one of five Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitchers who are on the injured list. There's no timetable yet for his return. The 31-year-old right-hander got hurt against Pittsburgh on April 27. He was recently moved to the 60-day IL. 'My shoulder is totally fine,' he said Tuesday. Glasnow downplayed the general body soreness that manager Dave Roberts mentioned on Monday. He said back tightness after a bullpen session prompted a precautionary decision to rest him for a few days. 'We're both on the same wavelength,' he said of himself and the team. His shoulder feels better, he said, and he plans to throw a bullpen session later this week. He played catch in the outfield Tuesday. 'I'll be back as soon as I can in a healthy way to help the team in the playoffs is my goal,' he said. Last season, Glasnow didn't pitch in the postseason because of right elbow tendinitis. He signed a $135.5 million, five-year deal before the 2024 season. Also Tuesday, the Dodgers signed right-hander José Ureña, who was designated for assignment last weekend by Toronto. He was 0-0 with a 3.65 ERA in six appearances for the Blue Jays. He began the season with the New York Mets, giving up five runs in three innings of his lone appearance. Ureña, 33, has spent 11 years in the majors with Miami, Detroit, Milwaukee, Colorado, the Chicago White Sox, Texas, the Mets and Blue Jays. He is 44-77 with a 4.78 ERA in 239 games. The Dodgers also optioned right-handed pitcher Will Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated catcher Chuckie Robinson for assignment. ___ AP MLB:

Beloved coach diagnosed with ALS receives custom wheelchair from Dodgers, Freeman

A beloved high school baseball coach and lifelong Los Angeles Dodgers fan diagnosed with ALS was honored Monday night with a life-changing gift. Jason Ramirez and his family were the guests of honor at Dodger Stadium prior to Monday's first pitch against the New York Mets to receive a custom Permobil power wheelchair. Advertisement Ramirez, former varsity baseball coach at California High School in South Whittier, was diagnosed with ALS in 2023. The neurodegenerative disorder eventually forced Ramirez to retire from a 20-year coaching career. A custom Dodgers-branded wheelchair that was gifted to Jason Ramirez on June 2, 2025 in Los Angeles.

'The former coach of the year poured his heart and soul into his passion for youth and baseball each and every day,' read Dodger Stadium announcer Todd Leitz during the emotional ceremony. 'We're thrilled to present him with a custom Los Angeles Dodgers branded Permobil wheelchair to assist him with the independence he needs and deserves.'

(Getty Images) The donation was made through the Dodgers, Freeman himself, the Permobil Foundation and Live Like Lou, a nonprofit that provides support for those suffering from ALS and helps fund research for a cure. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, whose namesake shocked the world more than 85 years ago when he announced his diagnosis with the—at the time—relatively unknown disease. Gehrig was a six-time World Series Champion, an MLB Hall-of-Famer and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the game's history. Freeman family donates $1M to children's hospital where son was treated Advertisement His historic streak of 2,130 consecutive games played ended mysteriously in May 1939 after he voluntarily removed himself from the team's lineup due to an undiagnosed ailment. He would later become the most high profile American to be diagnosed with ALS, and two weeks later, would say his goodbye to the sport in what is now known as the 'Luckiest Man' speech. 'For the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth,' Gehrig said to a collection of media members and thousands of stunned and somber fans at the original Yankee Stadium. 'I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for.' Lou Gehrig is shown before the mic delivering his farewell speech on on July 4, 1939 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. (Getty Images) Gehrig died from the debilitating disease on June 2, 1941, two years after his farewell. Since 2021, June 2 has been celebrated league-wide by Major League Baseball as Lou Gehrig Day. Advertisement On Tuesday, all MLB teams on the schedule wore a No. 4 patch on their jerseys in honor of Gehrig. His number is also retired by his one and only team, the New York Yankees. This past Sunday also marked the 100-year anniversary of the beginning of Gehrig's historic consecutive games played streak. As for local hero Jason Ramirez, a verified GoFundMe page has been set up to raise funds in his fight against ALS. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
