Every club in his bag is Nike except for his custom Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter. You or I couldn't buy his irons or wedges as they are totally customized to his specs. They are not retail in any way shape or form and the average player wouldn't want a set like his anyway as they wouldn't play well unless you have a freak show swing speed and could hit a miniature sweet spot consistently.

So yeah, all custom Nike and a Scotty putter.

He's played Mizunos (college), Titleist (ealry career), and now Nike.

The rumor is that he's basically been playing the same clubs since college, too. His loft and lie haven't changed, even in today's day and age of increasingly strong loft.

But what I really mean is that the actual design of his clubs has remained the same. I even heard that Titleist and/or Nike may have bought the molds for his irons to produce irons for him. No doubt they could also create new ones just by creating new molds from his existing irons, too. But yeah, the same irons.

Maybe that's the same kind of individual attention I need?

I can speak to his putter with some authority.

Scotty Cameron GSS Newport 2. He's had the same putter since 2001 now. Scotty makes him a couple of 'back-up' putters every year, but he's been using the same one for a while now. He's been using a Scotty of one kind or another since 94.

Recently in an article, he said that he's seen and felt other nice putters, but when push comes to shove, he can count on that putter, so they'll never get it out of his bag.

Another interesting tid-bit. He's still using a Ping grip too. So he's got a Nike Contract, Titleist putter, and a Ping grip on it. The ONLY reason that you can have that combo is that it's working for you. ;)

No one but an idiot (short of a damn good tour pro) would want to play those unforgiving butterknives.

i realize that, i wouldn't touch them with a 10ft pole, but i believe the purpose of the limited set was for collectability reasons, they ran for like $2,300 just for the irons or something like that

Oh. Well that makes a bit more sense and actually sounds like a pretty cool idea.

I think Titleist made them, though, not Nike. But I could be mistaken here.

If that's true it would be a ringing endorsement for the company that made the molds. Possibly Mizuno?

Fairways and Greens.

The molds have little to do with the company. Miura did the forgings, supposedly.

See the attachments. Titleist put out 500 commemorative sets or something like that. I'm fuzzy on the details. Maybe after he won the Masters in 1997 or something?

Nike did it as well making 2004 sets in 2004. Here is a link to a european site that still has them for sale as well as a link to a ebay auction showing the certificate of authenticity.

that may be true for any normal person that wants to get the forged irons but these are made to tiger's specs and i doubt they have much offset.

What is really remarkable is how the Nike golf equipment brand has grown, thanks to Tiger. When he joined the PGA, I believe the only Nike was the shoes and apparel. Then he started using a Nike ball, which was followed by a driver, then irons, then fairways woods, then wedges (I think that was the progression - correct me if someone knows the correct order). Tiger has really put Nike golf equipment on the map! For Nike, he's worth every penny of the $20 million/year....

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
