Callaway Golf Tour Pros and the Clubs They Play

The 40 or so men and women tour professionals on the Callaway Golf staff come from the world’s premier professional golf tours, including the PGA Tour, European PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and Champions Tour.

They are elite players with extremely high standards. Who are they, and which Callaway clubs do they play?

A few are spotlighted below, followed by a complete listing of Callaway Golf tour professionals.

Phil Mickelson

Callaway Golf tour pro Phil Mickelson is currently the No. 2 ranked player in the world, having amassed 34 PGA Tour wins, including three majors. Here’s something you may not know about Phil: golf is the only thing he does left-handed. The pro known as “Lefty” began the game as a left-hander so he could mirror his dad’s right-handed swing during practice.

“I’ve been using this Diablo fairway wood,” Phil said recently about the new Big Bertha Diablo Series. “This is the best fairway wood I’ve ever hit.”

In Phil’s Bag:

  • FT-9 Driver
  • Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Woods
  • Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons 5-9
  • X-Forged Irons 3-4
  • White Hot XG #9 Putter

Ernie Els

Callaway Golf tour pro Ernie Els competes globally and has won 48 worldwide titles, including three majors. Nicknamed “The Big Easy” for his long, fluid golf swing, the 6’3” Els was a consummate athlete in his youth, excelling in rugby, tennis, cricket and other sports.

Like Phil Mickelson, when it comes to Callaway drivers, The Big Easy swings the FT-9 Driver. Ernie also favors Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons.

In Ernie’s Bag:

  • FT-9 Driver
  • X Fairway Woods
  • Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons 3-9
  • Tour Milled 1 Putter

Annika Sorenstam

To say that Callaway Golf tour pro Annika Sorenstam is the greatest female golfer of all time is no stretch. Annika, now retired from tour competition, collected 72 LPGA Tour wins (including 10 majors) in her Hall-of-Fame career. She is also the only woman to fire a 59 in a tour event.

Known for her precision play, Annika has played Callaway irons throughout her career. She currently plays two models: Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons and X-18 Irons.

In Annika’s Bag:

  • FT-5 Driver
  • X Fairway Woods
  • Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons 7-9
  • X-18 Irons 4-6
  • White Hot XG 2-Ball Putter

Graeme McDowell

Callaway Golf tour pro Graeme McDowell is an up-and-coming player on the European PGA Tour who has won four times and was a member of the 2008 European Ryder Cup team. The Irishman played collegiate golf at the University of Alabama, where he was ranked No. 1 in the United States and won an amazing six of 12 college tournaments.

In Graeme’s Bag:

  • Fusion FT-3 Driver
  • X Fairway Woods 15
  • X-Forged Irons 3-9
  • White Hot 7 Putter

Gary Player

Callaway Golf tour pro Gary Player is a living golf legend. Still active on the Champions Tour, the man nicknamed “The Black Knight” has won 163 tournaments worldwide and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. Gary also won nine majors in his illustrious career and is one of only a few players to achieve the career Grand Slam, winning the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship by the age of 29.

In Gary’s Bag:

  • FT-5 Driver
  • Steelhead III Fairway Wood 4+

    Omfg, it just looks like a picture :o

  2. Tiger Fan says:

    Try LPGA.COM. or PGA.com. They have merchandise for sale.

  3. I'm not sure if you are asking about the pin sheets (location of the hole on the green for that round), or the yardage book (diagrams of each hole that are annotated with yardages).

    The pin sheets are not generated until a few hours before the round begins- once the greenskeeper cuts the hole, the position of that hole is marked on a diagram of the green and given to the caddies prior to the round. The only way to get a copy of that sheet is to be at the event.

    The yardage book is generally available online from the courses' website, or you can purchase them by mail.

    If all else fails, you can go to google earth and zoom in on the course, plot yardages using the distance between points feature, and print out your own yardage book.

  4. GlamourGirl says:

    They generally play from the red tees or "ladies tees" as your local course might call it. It all really depends on the course managers and the tournament if they feel they need to lengthen the course for players, they'd play from the intermediate tees. Generally in pro golf the ladies use the forward tees, while at a mens tournament at the same course, the men would use the back tees.

  5. Zeke says:

    Yeah, I follow Men's and Women's golf as well. Natalie is hotter, but Paula has an all american cute face, IMO. Welcome to the tennis site, you ought to come and visit us more often.
