I can agree with that.
However, having a DD or Prodigy star or Discraft logo on your shirt when you are lead card is so, so value-added.
Then again, having Robert McCall or BigDaddy or Eric McCabe or "cringe" AJ Risley shilling DD while on video commentary is also a big bonus.
Eh, we'll see...

Really? Any link to the official announcement?

Yah...if you follow him he has certainly been riding an emotional roller coaster in recent years. Met him a couple of years back, seems like a super nice guy. He's been trying a few things business wise, gives a needy kind of vibe if I'm being honest. Disc golf wise, he seems to want to tour again. Shot a 1030 rated round and even beat Matt Bell in his first round of the year.

Will be interesting to see if he continues to tour and play in the masters division. Anyone know how old he is?

Stokely was born in 1969. He could play MP50 last year.

Luke Humphries to Prodigy per Instabook and Facegram

I’m stoked to announce that for the 2020-2021 seasons, I’ve taken my place on Team Prodigy. This decision was not taken lightly, or made quickly, as it was important to me to find a company whose goals and values aligned with my visions for the future. Through the process, Prodigy’s dedication to growth, and commitment to innovation have shown to be in direct alignment with my goals moving forward.

With an unbelievable team on the course, and behind the scenes, their desire to support athletes like myself and grow together was a key factor in this decision. Communication has been refreshingly candid, and already I feel a part of something special. I want to specifically thank Charlie Cavalier for making this transition as smooth as possible, and look forward to partnering with this amazing company.

The discs feel phenomenal, and the lines they throw are really impressive. My bag is already coming together nicely, and soon I’ll be able to give you a peak at what I’m digging on.

He's reppin' DD on his last few FB posts, so if he isn't on team DD then he sure seems to be trying to get there.

I believe they also picked up Ava Meyer a few days ago, per a post on her FB feed.
