WITB Presented by Golf Galaxy: Nico Echavarria, 2024 Zozo Championship

2024 Zozo Championship winner Nico Echavarria has a one-of-a-kind gear set up. Finally, we get to breakdown something interesting.

Let’s start with the fact that he’s a PXG tour ambassador.  Infrequently does a PXG man (or LPGA woman) come out on top and lift the big trophy on 18 on Sunday. They’re more apt to make a cut on the number and then make an impish run on the weekend. (Side note: Two of our faves are PXG players – Dawg Joel Dahmen and “The New Easy” Jake Knapp.)

Why may you ask do we find his set up to be interesting? Let’s just start with the fact that he carries two six-irons. Intriguing indeed…

Key WITB Takeaways:

1. He plays with the #1 driver on tour – G430 LST. Why don’t we play with the same model?
2. He carries a 5-wood versus playing with a hybrid, utility or 3-iron.
3. He carries TWO SIX IRONS!!! A Srixon ZX7 Mk II and a PXG 0317 CB, both with the same shaft. We’d love to know why he carries two, but we don’t. We’d love to have more specs on each, but we don’t. It’s a mystery and a fine one at that.
4. He gets paid to play PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy III wedges. Note: Our opinion is 100% assumption since he doesn’t play with Vokeys. And yes, we are biased. Because they are beautiful works of high-performing art.
5. Odyssey Tri-Hot putter. No mallet for this Columbian. He waives a magic blade wand.
6. Titleist Pro V1x golf ball. The #2 ball on tour, but only by a smidge, falling just behind its sister ball, the Pro V1.
