Who knows? Maybe Nick Dunlap is getting paid some NIL $ from one or two of the club/ball manufacturers he played with while winning the PGA TOUR’s The American Express this weekend. One thing we do know for certain, no amateur has won on tour in 33 years, so looking into his bag is likely more relevant than looking into most pros’ bags – because he made all the decisions on what he played with and wasn’t influenced by contracts or club reps. His bag set-up was his call and his call only. And it worked – to the tune of 29-under over four days in La Quinta. CRAZY GOOD!!!
Key Takeaways from Nick’s “amateur” set-up:
- He played with equipment from four club manufacturers—TaylorMade, Ping, Srixon and Callaway/Odyssey—and a Titleist ProV1 ball
- He was ripping the soon-to-launch TaylorMade Qi10 LS driver. Heck, this driver doesn’t even ship to mere mortals who have placed pre-orders until Feb. 2
- He wasn’t playing with Vokey wedges, opting instead to play with TaylorMade wedges, which does lead us to think that maybe TaylorMade is giving some NIL to the sophomore from Alabama
- Srixon’s utility irons pop up all the time in winners’ bags, including Nick’s. Like what we’ve done, you should check them out!
