(look mom, no hat!)

It looks like David Toms may have picked up a TomTom portable car navigation system, 'cause he's on the move.

"TomsToms, where would you like to go? I-5 Southbound. Right turn ahead. You have reached your destination."

For as long as I can remember (apparently back to the late '90s) Toms has been one of the main guys on the Cleveland staff. He's a respectable golfer and makes Cleveland a respectable brand. Toms has solidified his reputation using Cleveland golf clubs, but will move on to new sponsorships next year.

Apparently, Cleveland will not be renewing any Tour Staff contracts, including Toms', that expire this year.

"I'm not sure what's going to happen," Toms said. Asked if he was shopping around, he replied, "Yes, which is kind of a bummer."

One option is to sign a corporate deal for his hat, the most visible billboard a player can offer. Toms said that might free him up to play whatever equipment suits him best.

"I know what I won't do is play something I'm not comfortable with," he said. "Sometimes you take less money as long as you're confident you can play well with that equipment. I won't do anything off the wall, I can promise you that."

So where's he going? If you have a lead, let us know in the comments. The thought of seeing Toms in anything but a white Cleveland visor is startling. I guess there will be a lot of changes on tour next year and we'll just have to get used to it.
