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

We have seen a few new mini drivers from the likes of Titleist and TaylorMade being tested out on tour recently. Now, Callaway looks to be jumping into the mix at the RBC Heritage. We spotted Christian Bezuidenhout testing out a new Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver on the range. We don’t have any details yet but the club clearly states “mini driver” on it, and the “340” could easily refer to how many CCs the head is.
What we do know is that this mini driver has a very similar design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood. The sole looks to be made from steel or titanium, not forged carbon like the Paradym Ai Smoke drivers. It has weights up near the face and at the back of the club. Callaway’s OptiFit hosel is also present on this driver to allow loft and lie adjustments, and if you look closely on the face, you can make out the “Ai Smart Face” text at bottom center. The crown looks to have the familiar carbon fiber weave and Ai Smoke logos we have seen on the current clubs.
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke DUW
The other Callaway prototype that was spotted looked to be a little more of a traditional fairway wood — but with non-traditional weight placements on it. Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke DUW looks to have four adjustable weights on it — two on the sole, one on the hosel, and one on the toe. This hosel isn’t adjustable, and I would assume that is to save some weight from creating spots for the movable weights.
It is hard to tell from the photos, but the face looks to be a touch deeper than the traditional Triple Diamond fairways. This deeper face could be where the “DUW” name comes from. With three weights all pushed forward near the face this DUW has to be a very low spinning and launching head. The sole is made from metal and similar in design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond fairway woods as is the carbon crown.

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.

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.

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!
