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.

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

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?
