At 51, Phil Mickelson shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to rewrite history with each swing. After becoming the oldest Major champion at 50 with his remarkable win at the 2021 US PGA Championship, Mickelson recently added another milestone to his legendary career. He became just the second player, alongside Jack Nicklaus, to win four of his first six starts on the Champions Tour, with his latest victory coming at the season-ending Charles Schwab Championship.

But what’s in Mickelson’s bag that’s helping him keep up with the younger crowd? We caught up with Mickelson’s club-builder, Gerritt Pon, who works out of the Ely Callaway Performance Centre, to get an idea of equipment that’s powering the six-time Major champion’s incredible run.

Even at the age of 51, Phil Mickelson ranks 55th in driving distance with an average of 273.3 yards per drive. He has been able to achieve this feat with the Callaway Epic Speed Triple Diamond driver (6º set to 5.5º) which he uses with the Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft (47.9 inches). Typically priced between $189.99 to $253.99, you can get hold of these between $151.99 to $203.19 currently on the official website. 

Lefty has two Fairway woods. The first one is the TaylorMade “Original One” Mini Driver (11.5º), which he uses with the Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X shaft. These are priced at $399.99. The second one is the Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero (16.5º), which he uses with the Fujikura Ventus Blue 8 X shaft. These are low-spinning drivers with high MOI which offer two interchangeable weights to fine-tune trajectory. They are available between $129.59 to $315.19 currently due to sale.

Mickelson has three iron options in his bag. All of which are Callaway clubs. The first one is the Callaway X Forged UT (16º) which he uses with the MCA MMT 105 TX shaft. The second is the Callaway X21 UT Proto (19º at 20.5º, 25º) which he equips with the KBS Tour V 125 S+ shafts. And finally, he also has the Callaway Apex MB ’21 (small groove, 6-PW), which he uses with the KBS Tour V 125 S+ shafts.

What are Phil Mickelson’s companions for the greens?

For the wedges, Lefty opts for none other than the Callaway PM Grind ’19 Raw (52º-12º at 50º, 55º-12º, 60º-10º). He equips it with the KBS Tour V 125 S+ shafts, which help in giving high performance. However, these are temporarily unavailable in the market. But you can rent them out. 

Phil Mickelson has an exceptional short game. He has a putting average of 1.61, which makes him tied for 25th place in this category. He has been able to achieve this feat with the help of his Odyssey Milled Blade. These are available at $449.99 and give the best spin to ensure that the ball stuck on the lip of the hole gets put. He completes his kit with the Callaway Chrome Soft X Triple Trackball, the Golf Pride MCC grip, the Callaway Tour Authentic glove, and the G/FORE Saddle Gallivanter.
