Campbell going with no equipment sponsor

Chad Campbell has a golf bag that looks like it belongs to a PGA Tour rookie or struggling journeyman, not someone who has won each of the past two years. The bag is blank except for his name.

Campbell did not renew his equipment deal with Cleveland, and while there was no shortage of offers the past few months, he wants to take his time deciding which way to go. For now, the 30-year-old Texan is playing Ping. "I've had opportunities in the off-season, but I'm going to play with what I like," Campbell said. "I've played these irons for a long time."

Campbell said he tried three other brands the past few months -- he declined to say which, although he had Hogan irons in his bag at the Target World Challenge in December. He used Ping during his career at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and during his successful run through the Hooters and Nationwide tours. There is no rush to have an equipment contract.

"Right now, we'll just wait and see," he said. "I'm only worried about playing good golf."
