Update 10 January 2013
These are the first pics of Rory’s actual Nike equipment for 2013. Taken at The Els Club in Dubai where Rory was practicing.
Thanks to David Voller who happened to be walking past and snapped a pic of Rory’s new Nike clubs and there, pride of place was his trusty Scotty Cameron headcover. Notice also though the Swoosh putter headcover of the Nike Method 006 Prototype in there too.
There are 15 clubs in the bag shown. Along with the Nike VR II Pro blades, it looks like Rors is also going to choose between a Pro Combo cavity back long iron, a 3 and 5 fairway wood. Also there are 46, 50 and 54 “Rors” stamped wedges. The Nike Covert driver is also in the bag.
I’ve been doing Rory’s what’s in the bag since he turned pro so am really delighted to have got the first look at this.

Nike will officially unveil Rory McIlroy as their staffer on the Monday 14th January at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship where both Rory and Tiger Woods are in the field.

(shafts to be confirmed)
