Equipment

The golf clubs that celebrities are using at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Published

on

Our “What’s in the bag?” — or “WITB” — series at GolfWRX highlights the clubs and shafts that professional golfers have in their bags. This week at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, we also took photos of the clubs that celebrity golfers have in their bag.

The Pebble Beach Pro-Am is known to attract actors, athletes, musicians, and other celebrities. While many are interested in seeing how those people fare on the golf course, here at GolfWRX, we’re looking at what equipment they’re using!

See all of our photos from Pebble Beach this week.

While we didn’t have the in-hand access to these celebrities that we normally do with PGA Tour players, we do have photo evidence of what clubs some of the celebs are using at Pebble Beach this week. Let’s have a look.

Tony Romo

Former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback, current CBS football analyst, and PGA Tour sponsor exemption recipient Tony Romo showed up to the range this week with a bag full of Mizuno MP-18 MMC irons. If his headcovers are any indication, he also has a Callaway GBB Epic driver and fairway wood, and either a Titleist hybrid or fairway wood.

Romo’s also supporting Meadowbrook Country Club, which should make his father (and part owner of the country club) happy.

Larry Fitzgerald

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a bag full of PXG 0311XF irons and Ping Glide 2.0 wedges.

I’m not seeing a driver or even a driver headcover anywhere, but it does look like Fitz at least has a TaylorMade M1 or M2 fairway wood in the bag, with a Fujikura Speeder shaft.

Alfonso Ribiero

Alfonso Ribiero is best known for his role as Carlton in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, alongside Will Smith. And surely, he gets asked to do “the Carlton” dance everywhere he goes. That probably gets tiring, but the checks probably still cash. As far as his bag goes, I’m seeing Ping i200 irons and a hint of a Ping Glide 2.0 wedge.

We also spotted him swinging a Ping G400 driver with a Project X HZRDUS Yellow shaft.

Kelly Rohrbach

Model and Baywatch star Kelly Rohrbach is taking it OLD SCHOOL with a Callaway FT-5 equipped with an off-the-shelf shaft.

We also spotted her with a Callaway Steelhead fairway wood. Gotta respect it.

Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was spotted with a TaylorMade M3 driver equipped with a Fujikura Tour Spec shaft. I see you with those weights forward, Aaron… forward CG to reduce spin, I see you.

Bill Murray

Bill Murray is a national treasure. I mean, look at those bell bottoms and that vest and tell me he’s not. He’s also the most quotable man from the most quotable movie in golf.

Wait a second… is that… is that TaylorMade’s SLDR music?

Zoom in on the photo of Bill Murray at hole No. 18 at Pebble Beach and here’s what you get; a clear shot (well, pretty clear) of a TaylorMade SLDR 4-iron. So he’s got that goin’ for him.

Wayne Gretzky’s son-in-law-to-be

Fiance of Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky’s daughter Paulina is in the field this week at Pebble, and he was also spotted using a bag full of TaylorMade golf clubs at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

His bag is equipped with quite stiff shafts, a brand new “T-Line” TaylorMade Spider putter, a yet-to-be released and custom-stamped 64-degree Hi-Toe wedge, fully custom P-730 irons and a P-790 long iron. Who is this guy??

    I would rather watch these special people play this special game than those really bad touring pros. Their one of a kind swings are so beautiful and the vintage equipment makes the game so pure. Off to get my hickory sticks!

    It’s the result of input from the TaylorMade tour staff, led by Dustin Johnson, who put the club in play last fall and used it in his victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions to start the year in Hawaii. Other TaylorMade tour staffers like Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose have put the wedge in their bags, as well.

    It is ‘….fare on the golf course..’ and not “fair”.

    You can show celebrity clubs but never any pictures from the Champions Tour players? I really would like to see the equipment of the Champions Tour covered more in-depth.
    Thank you

    Callaway missed it again! They could have thrown a whole brand new bag of Rogue at Kelly Rohrbach but hey, that’s Callaway for you, not getting out there and using celebrity exposure. Whoever handled that miss should be fired!

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
