Odyssey launches Phil Mickelson 2021 PGA Championship winning putter small batch
On Wednesday, Odyssey launched its small-batch release of Phil Mickelson’s iconic Odyssey Milled Blade “Phil Mickelson” flatstick.
Just 125 of the putters are up for grabs, with the flatstick built to the exact specs which Phil Mickelson used to win the 2021 PGA Championship (see Phil’s PGA Championship WITB here)

Each putter comes with a certificate of authenticity personally signed by Phil Mickelson.
Below are the following rules to enter the draw, with the lucky ones selected then having the opportunity to purchase the putter for $1,000.
- “Open to US and District of Columbia residents, 18 years or older
- Entry can be completed through 11:59 CT on November 1st
- 1 entry per person
- Potential winners will be selected in a random drawing and contacted by email and/or telephone to complete their payment
- Limit one (1) prize per person”
Per Odyssey:
“The putter’s head is milled from a block of 303 stainless steel and features a deep double fly cut face mill, while a deep double fly reduces the frequency of the ball and head contact, giving Phil the softer feel he prefers.
“The heel shafted head design yields 71 degrees of toe hang for the face rotation that Lefty likes. Soft feel is further enhanced by the flare tip steel shaft, along with his SuperStrokePistol GT Tour grip, and each offering comes with the headcover that Phil used at Kiawah.”

Why Wesley Bryan is playing two 4-irons this week
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…Flash forward to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2024 at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, and Bryan is still playing with a mixed Takomo set, except he’s added a new 101 U 4-iron, plus a Titleist T200 4-iron, and he’s dropping his 5-iron.
That bears repeating: Bryan is switching to an iron setup that consists of two 4-irons and no 5-iron.
On paper, that looks wrong, but when you look at yardage gapping instead of the number on the sole of the iron, things start to make more sense.
As Bryan explained to GolfWRX.com on Tuesday in Texas, his Takomo 301 CB 6-iron goes about 195-200 yards. Then, his new hollow-bodied Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which he recently started testing “a couple weeks ago” and bent about 2 degrees weak, goes about 220 yards, and the Titleist T200 4-iron goes about 235 yards.
Speaking on his new Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which sells for $119, Bryan had this to say:
“It’s super forgiving and launches high, and it has a bit longer of a profile to where it looks really good,” said Bryan. “If people are willing to play something that doesn’t have an expensive price tag on their club…[I started testing it] in the last couple weeks and it’s in the bag.
“I just made it like 2 degrees weaker. Basically that gap from 205 to 225 I was in a little bit of a dead space, so I’m going to try and fill that gap better.”

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject 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.
- Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
- RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
- YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
- golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

A Wilson 8802 will do just the job for a lot cheaper.

On the site the putter looks like a half-shaft offset model instead of the full-shaft offset Phil used in 2021 PGA, they’re basically selling the same exact putter as the 2014 Wilson Staff 8802 putter but for over $800 more.

Hang loose my man. You’ll soon be able to pick one up for $365 on the bst along with some X100’s for $85 with multi colored ferrules, a “lightly range used only” Callaway Hybrid with XStiff shaft for $195, and some size 14 Jordans.

Last I saw Phil was a lefty so if this was for righties it wouldn’t be to his exact spec.
