WITB Winner’s Bag: Austin Eckroat, 2024 Cognizant Classic

Like all other top-100 professional golfers in the world who are on a manufacturer’s staff (some players are on more than one), every month Austin Eckroat cashes a check from the company that supplies him with his gear.

His monthly checks have the word PING on them.

Like every club in his bag. All 14 finely-tuned weapons.

We NEVER see a player whose entire bag features a single club manufacturer. Never. Good for you PING.

Key takeaways:

  1. Aaron hasn’t put into play PING’s newest big stick, the G430 MAX 10K, opting instead for last year’s model, the G430 LST which is beloved by staffers and free agents
  2. He was playing with a pretty standard set-up: driver, 3-wood (standard loft), 3-iron (vs. 5-wood or utility/hybrid), 4-PW, and three standard lofted wedges (50, 54, and 60)
  3. Like his driver, he hasn’t put into play PING’s newest wedge models. He has however put into play PING’s newest better player irons, Blueprint T
  4. He plays with ProV1 balls
