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.
