The Deals: Will Bubba Be The Next To Join The Travis Mathew Team?

Bubba Watson shows that he'd not only be tough competition in a long drive contest but also in a backyard game of golfer's H.O.R.S.E.   You can can check out some of his other trick shots here.  Now, if he had a someone to play against these videos would ad campaign worthy - perhaps reminiscent of this famous series. 

Incidentally, Mr. Watson also appears to be showing off some new gear from Travis Mathew.

We don't know if Bubba is wearing TM gear because he likes it or because a new deal might be imminent (I suppose the two don't have to be mutually exclusive) but the speculation among fellow bloggers The Khaki Crusader and Chapeau Noir Golf seems to lean toward the latter over the former.

We should have a better idea starting on Thursday as Bubba is scheduled to kick his 2010 season off in Hawaii at The Sony.  Looking at the first round pairings, it seems that no matter what Mr. Watson has on he'll most likely be upstaged by his less sartorially subtle playing partner...well, at least until they tally up the score card that is.
