This, to me, seems most likely. I doubt we see any big splash signings out of them.
I could be wrong however. It's happened before.

Would you be upset if DD makes a big splash signing?
I think it'll be announced in mid January.

DG isn't like other pro sports where the season ends and then there's a free agency window.
It's probably been confirmed at some point, but for the most part the contracts are thought to land on the calendar year. That's why even if you see an announcement like Matty O, he's not publicly throwing Westside until his old contract expires. And even if USDGC or the DGPT Championship might be considered the end of the touring season, you'll see players hit random sanctioned events during the winter months.
In other words there's not necessarily a formal etiquette on these sponsorship change announcements. Depends on the player, where they're leaving, and where they're going.

No sir. I actually like to see the top players switch sponsors every few years or so.
Ricky always impressed me when he threw the Harp, and watching him with the Pig was great. Some day if he signs with Discraft it will be fun to see him rocking a Zone.
DD needs one of the top dogs to represent them and their products.
Cool. This is on topic! Wonder if he is the mystery DD signing, and not Rick or Vinny. Dude can putt.

He'd be a great spokesperson for the Felon as well.
Josh Anthon to DD!

True, although it'll be weird not seeing him throw a bag with 5 figures worth of old sexton firebirds in it.

That's a solid pickup for EV-7. He's known for being an excellent putter.
My thoughts exactly. Drew Gibson made their putters look great in the final round of DGPT Championship... and that's Drew Gibson! Imagine what Matt Bell could do.

He's gotta get to a stage where we can see it though. I like Bell a lot, but he isn't exactly showing up on a ton of lead cards of big events.
