The hidden magic behind a golfer’s success lies in the intricacies of their bags. The talented player who just broke all records at a PGA Tour-sanctioned event in history carefully selects his collection of golfing essentials that help him ace the greens.
For instance, his immaculate drives find their source in his PING G430 driver, which is famous for being the best driver to date. Additionally, a thorough search through his bag would reveal the PXG staffer’s love for the PXG 02II ST irons. These are specifically made so that golfers can achieve “greater distance, precision, and playability.”
He also uses the PING iCrossover 3-iron driving irons to further perfect his shots. He clubs his drivers and irons with PING’s G430 Max Fairway woods.
