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.

  • “Driver: Callaway FT-3 (Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board shaft), 9.5 degrees”View report
  • “Leading up to the 2006 Masters, Mickelson tried out a two-driver setup the week prior at the BellSouth Classic and won by an astounding 13 shots with a pair of 9.5-degree Callaway Big Bertha Fusion FT-3 drivers in the bag.”View report
  • “The club had a 45-inch Mitsubishi Fubuki shaft and 8.5 degrees of loft.”View report

  • “This putter—also a preview of what would become Scotty Cameron’s Del Mar 3.5—doesn’t have the tournament winning provenance or the teryllium insert of the $40,000 one, but Phil says he and Cameron handmade it together in 2001.”View report
  • “the video helps certify a Scotty Cameron teryllium-insert putter that Mickelson used for a stretch about 20 years ago”View report
  • “Callaway X Hot Pro 3Deep (13°), with Mitsubishi Chemical Fubuki K 70 X”View report

  • “Callaway X Forged (4-PW) with KBS Tour (4,5,6) and KBS Tour V2 (7-PW)”View report
  • “The world No. 2 has said that using a custom-made Callaway Golf Phrankenwood (essentially a 2-wood) has changed his game because it affords him approximately the same distance as his driver but with much better flight control.”View report
  • “Although he did briefly use an OZ.1 at the 2025 PGA Championship.”View report
  • “At the PGA at Kiawah, Lefty used an Odyssey “Mickelson” blade prototype with a SuperStroke Pistol GT Tour grip.”View report
  • “Looking for a club with the same workability characteristics and face technology as 3Deep, in driver length (45 inches) and loft (8.5 degrees), to take advantage of additional rollout on tee shots at 9, 10 and 15, in particular, Callaway's R&D department created a smaller-headed driver for Mickelson dubbed "Phrankenwood."”View report
  • “For Mickelson, the goal was to use his 13-degree Callaway FT Tour 3-wood (bent to 11.5 degrees) and a hybrid to keep the ball in play, avoiding the diabolical rough while allowing the firm fairways to carry his 270-yard drives close to 300 yards.”View report
  • “5-Wood: Callaway X (Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board shaft)”View report
  • “Irons: Callaway X Tour (3-PW; Project X shafts)”View report
  • “Mickelson asked Roger Cleveland to create a 64-degree Callaway X-Tour wedge for various touch shots he anticipated having around the greens and replaced his 3-wood with the lob wedge during the tournament week.”View report
  • “Putter: Odyssey White Hot XG “Phil Mickelson” proto”View report
  • “This 250cc “driver” came about because of Mickelson’s affinity for Callaway’s X Hot 3-wood, which he noticed spun less than most 3-woods.”View report
  • “He won 17 times with the company’s equipment, including its graphite-shafted ADX Tour Forged irons and, later, its Super Rekin irons, making him one of the few players at the time to use graphite shafts.”View report

  • “Mickelson shelved is usual Odyssey #9 mid-mallet for a high-MOI Stroke Lab Ten prototype in Las Vegas, citing his success inside 6 feet as the reason for the change.”View report
  • “During the early 2000s, Mickelson became the first player to use Scotty Cameron's Futura mallet in competition.”View report
  • “His 52 and 56 were Callaway Jaws wedges and then his 60 and 64 were Callaway Mack Daddy 2's.”View report
  • “The only club change on this list not tied to a major championship, Mickelson replaced his Callaway RAZR Fit 5-wood with a Titleist 980F that was almost a decade old.”View report
  • “Phil also recently switched to from last year’s GBB Epic to the brand new Rogue driver, fairway wood and hybrid.”View report
  • “Phil Mickelson shot the ‘round of his life’ to win last year’s Open at Muirfield, and his Callaway Mack Daddy 2 wedges more than played their part.”View report
  • “Having experienced significant gains in distance using Callaway’s new X Hot fairway wood technology, Mickelson began to look for a fairway wood he could hit off the tee as far as a driver, but with a flatter ball flight and with greater control of the left-to-right shot shape.”View report
