Justin Rose does not believe a change of clubs will affect his game as he prepares to debut his new McLaren Golf clubs at the Cadillac Championship in Miami this week.Rose has signed with the Formula One outfit as their first tour pro as they enter the golfing sphere, with the brand’s official launch on Wednesday coinciding with the build up to the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Englishman’s switch of clubs could be seen as a gamble, given his strong recent run of form that saw him finish third at The Masters and win the Farmers Insurance Open in January.

Justin Rose made two bogeys on the 11th and 12th, followed by a par on the 13th during his final round at The Masters.
Despite that, and the second major of the season, the PGA Championship, being only three weeks away, the 45-year-old does not see his change of clubs being an issue.”There are some best practices we have put into development which are giving me what I think are a fantastic set of golf clubs,” Rose said on Tuesday.
“There is going to be a refinement process [but] in the long term I don’t see any issue at all.”
He added: “It’s something I’ve been involved with from the outset, really helping the engineering team, really testing the very first editions of the clubs.
“I’ve been kind of working with the project for well over a year probably, so it’s been exciting to finally launch it.”Obviously it’s a great week to do it with the Miami Grand Prix in town, a lot of synergy this week to do it. The clubs are feeling great.”Alex Fitzpatrick set for PGA Tour debutAlso competing at the Cadillac Championship is Alex Fitzpatrick, playing in his first PGA Tour event as a full member following his victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with older brother Matt on Sunday.
