Lee Trevino’s wildly interesting $5,000+ club setup at the PNC Championship
Lee Trevino is a legend in the golf world for both his on-course success, and his unmatched storytelling ability. As one of the most interesting men in golf, it’s only right that his golf bag is one of the most interesting in golf, too.
Most would expect that a player as storied and established as Trevino probably hasn’t paid for a golf club in decades, but Trevino revealed that he actually pays retail for his clubs! On Tuesday ahead of the PNC Championship, Trevino told GolfWRX.com that he estimates he’s in for about $5,000 on the set he’s using this week.
“I have four different sets at home, and my wife asked if I was really going to bring all four bags,” Trevino said. “So I picked out a set, and this is what I have with me this week. I just got these Mizunos, which I really like. I’ll tell you what I also really like, is those new Callaway Apex Pro irons. Man, they look good with that longer blade. But I have the new Mizunos with me this week. I’m in for about $5,000 on the set here.”
Most notably, from a performance standpoint, Trevino told GolfWRX.com that since he’s getting a bit older, and losing some speed, he’s recently switched into shafts with softer flexes throughout the bag (amateurs take note!).
His current shaft setup includes an AutoFlex driver shaft, lightweight Project X Cypher fairway wood shafts, and KBS Players Graphite Iron 70-gram shafts.
Trevino also pointed out his Mike Taylor-designed Artisan wedges, which come with Trevino’s “Super Mex” logo stamped on the back.
“I haven’t used these wedges since last year [at the 2022 PNC Championship],” Trevino told GolfWRX.com. “I didn’t want to mess with the grooves, so I just kept them on the wall until this week.”
As for the putter(s), Trevino will choose between two different options: an original L.A.B. Golf with a custom forward-leaning shaft, an armlock SuperStroke 1.0 grip, and a clean slab of lead tape on the sole…
…or a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 mallet with a standard-length Scotty Cameron grip.
Arguably the most interesting club in his bag, though, needs no words at all to describe how cool it is:
Apparently, Trevino doesn’t miss the center of the face with his Callaway Steelhead XR 25-degree hybrid.
Something tells me that no matter which of the four sets Trevino decided to take with him this week, this XR hybrid was coming with him regardless.

In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback 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.
- Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
- MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
- courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”

Trevino is worth $50 mil. Paying for $5000 in clubs is like the average person “rounding up to the next dollar” to donate to a food bank. Hysterical how the people who can afford things the most are the least expected to have to pay, and the poorest won’t even get a discount.

Lee Trevino is actually paying for golf clubs? I don’t really believe that. But if it is true, he should not be paying for clubs. Golf manufacturers should want their clubs in the legend’s bag for the publicity.

C’mon OEM’s … are you seriously telling me that it wouldn’t be a good business decision to sponsor someone like Trevino, even if he is basically a ceremonially golfer at this point?
