Englishman Casey is among four former Nike players to sign a metalwoods deal with TaylorMade
Paul Casey is among six top players who have signed official deals to play TaylorMade metalwoods.
Casey joins, Smylie Kaufman, Seung-Yul Noh, Nick Watney, Kyle Stanley and Jon Curran as players who will game the TaylorMade M1 and M2 drivers and fairways.
Three-time Ryder Cup player Casey had previously used a full bag Nike clubs prior to the brand announcing they would no longer be making clubs and balls.
Noh, Watney and Stanley are also former Nike players but all will continue to wear Nike apparel and shoes.
Casey began using the TaylorMade M2 driver at the Safeway Open but has recently switched to the 2017 M1 driver and 2016 M1 3-wood.
Kaufman joins TaylorMade after completing his first full season on the PGA Tour, where he secured ten top 25 & four top 10 finishes in 28 events, including his maiden victory at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

During the play-offs he added the M2 driver into his bag at The Barclays and has played it in every tournament since.
Noh put the M1 fairway into play for the first time at the Sanderson Farms Championship and the M1 430 driver the following week at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
Watney, who has five PGA Tour wins to his name, switched into the 2016 M2 driver and 3-wood in addition to an M1 five wood at the Safeway Open.
Stanley won his first PGA Tour event in 2012 and has since accumulated 23 additional top 25 finishes and more than $7m in career earnings.
Curran, who turned pro in 2009 has eight top 10s to his name on the PGA Tour.
