We don’t know the exact number of PGA Tour Hall of Famers who have patents on golf clubs, but we know at least one does, Phil Mickelson. The left-hander is famous for not only having one of the greatest short games in the history of golf, he is constantly tinkering with his gear.
Most PGA Tour pros travel with their standard 14 clubs and bring a few backups in case something happens. For instance, nearly everyone brings a backup driver and a backup putter. Some players swap out 2-irons and 5-woods based on the course conditions too, but Mickelson takes things to another level. He often travels with between 23 and 25 clubs, including multiple woods, irons, wedges and putters.
Mickelson is also open to trying unconventional combinations of clubs after studying courses and developing his strategy. So take a look back at some of the more memorable gear highlights in Phil Mickelson’s career.
