We’ve taken a look into some pretty interesting golf bags on this blog, some of the biggest and best names in all of golf. We’ve gotten to see what clubs they play, the lofts, the putters, the different golf balls and even their sponsorships coming out in flying colors. Thanks to Tom Watson’s amazing play at the British Open last week, however, we’re now going to get the unique opportunity to look into the bag of one of golf’s greatest golfers, and the golf bag of a 59-year-old professional that otherwise, we might never know what clubs he was carrying.
Interesting on Many Levels
It’s interesting to see what Watson played at the British for a few reasons…first, because he played so well, second because he is almost sixty years old, and third because its a direct comparison to the younger players that we’re so used to seeing. It is clear at first glance that he’s obviously still sponsored by, and loves the way Adams clubs play. His bag is filled with Adams with the only exception being his putter, which so infamously failed him on his final 8 foot putt.
The Full Quiver
That said, here are the clubs he used, according to golf.com:
DRIVER: Adams Speedline (9.5°) with Aldila Voodoo SVS6 shaft
FAIRWAY WOOD: Adams Insight (14.5°) with Aldila Voodoo SVS7 shaft
HYBRID: Adams Idea Pro Gold (18°, 20°) with Grafalloy Hybrid We Trust shafts
IRONS: Adams Idea Pro (4-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts
WEDGES: Adams Puglielli (52°), Tom Watson (56°)
PUTTER: Odyssey White Hot XG #7
BALL: Titleist Pro V1
Tom Watson Plays YOUNG!
Now, at first glance we can’t tell the shaft flexes and all of that, but nevertheless, we are struck by just how amazingly fit and, well, YOUNG, Tom Watson’s bag makes him look. No huge lofted driver, he’s playing hybrids, and he’s still getting almost 300 yard drives. Impressive and it says a whole lot about the caliber of golfer Tom Watson really is. Ordinarily, we only show the bags of those winning golfers, but today we had an opportunity to look inside a very unique bag. Why not?
