Bag Notes

Francesco Molinari

Professional golfer who won the 2018 Open Championship, the first major won by an Italian.

at least 14 clubs cited · 3 reports

Who pays, and what gets played

Brand share across the bag, weighted by how often each maker is reported rather than by how many products carry its name — one driver named in ninety reports is not the equal of a grip named once.

  • TaylorMade32%

Mixed. No maker holds more than 32% of Francesco Molinari’s cited equipment, which is what a bag looks like when nobody has bought all of it.

The bag

Every line is a claim someone published, kept beside the report it came from. The leading club in each slot is the one Francesco Molinari was most recently reported playing, and the date beside it is when that report ran.
