After a season in which he went sponsor-free, Puyallup's Ryan Moore has inked a multi-year deal with little-known Scratch Golf to play their irons and wedges.

The contract was finalized Thursday prior to Moore teeing off for the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai, China.

Not only will he become the first PGA Tour player to sign with Scratch Golf to use their irons, the 26-year-old from Cascade Christian and UNLV also become a part-owner in the company, which originated in Eugene, Ore. in 2003 and is now based in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Mike Moore, his father and president of Moore Sports Management, said the family flew out to the company's headquarters a month ago, and spent a day testing the product.
