'I don't see any issue' - Rose to debut new McLaren clubs in Miami
Justin Rose has confirmed he will debut his new McLaren clubs at this week's Miami tournament, dismissing concerns about switching equipment mid-season. The British golfer, who signed a lucrative deal with the golf equipment giant earlier this year, revealed he has been testing the clubs extensively in practice and feels confident about the transition.
Watch the highlights:
'I don't see any issue,' Rose told reporters at the tournament venue. 'The team has worked incredibly hard to get these clubs to a place where I'm comfortable. I've had some great sessions on the range and I'm ready to put them to the test in competition.'
Rose's decision to debut new clubs during a significant tournament on the calendar has drawn attention from golf analysts, with some questioning whether mid-season equipment changes could disrupt a player's rhythm. However, the 43-year-old seems unfazed by the scrutiny.
McLaren, known primarily for their Formula 1 and automotive excellence, entered the golf equipment market with high expectations. The partnership with Rose was seen as a statement of intent, and this week's debut will serve as the first real test of how their clubs perform under tournament pressure.
The Olympic gold medalist has had a mixed start to 2026, with his best finish coming at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where he finished third. Rose will be hoping the new equipment can help him push for his first victory of the year.
Tournament organizers have noted increased media interest in Rose's equipment debut, with McLaren representatives expected to be present throughout the week to monitor the clubs' performance.
