Bernhard Langer has one of the most decorated careers in golfing history as a senior. He has forty-six wins, just one more than Hale Irwin (45) for the most in PGA Tour Champions history. His last win came in July 2023, at the US Senior Open. But well, as it turns out, there is a high chance that the 67-year-old might be very close to his forty-seventh victory.
The German player is currently teeing off at the Phoenix Country Club in Arizona. After fifty-four holes, he entered the final round of the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup with the solo lead. With five birdies and a bogey on the fourth hole in the third round, Langer has a one-stroke lead ahead of Steven Alker. And if he continues this momentum, he might clinch the trophy in a few hours. But what is in his bag helping him ace the game?
According to GolfWRX, Bernhard Langer has a rather versatile bag, consisting of clubs from different brands. For the driver, he opts for the PING G400 (9 degrees), equipping it with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ. He has a driving accuracy percentage of 80.40%, which makes him rank second on the list. This is because of the big advancement in aerodynamics and stability these drivers offer. According to the official website, these drivers were first introduced in 2017, and are no longer available.
