They sign deals whoever OEM is coughing enough of the cash it seems.

I believe Mizuno irons were in majority of the players bags before the deals were made of the likes of Taylor Made or Callaway.

It's 2 sided. Yes they get money to play a set of clubs, but get more when they win. Players pick a brand with which they think they can win which makes them more money which makes club makers give and want to give hem more etc.

They are not going to sign with Taylormade if they think they can win with Mizuno (see Koepka which to my knowledge still hasn't signed with a brand)

Mizuno was the most popular Iron on tour in the 1990s and they paid a nice stipend back then, but they no longer compete with Titleist, Callaway, Ping, TM. But even if they did pay the same I still think you'd have several players playing with what they have in the bag now, lots of good choices out there these days.
