It’s a sneak peak at the tools that the best players in the world are working with.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The media center at the WM Phoenix Open is in the basement of the clubhouse at TPC Scottsdale.
Normally the “cart barn”, the underground space is home base for the media and PGA Tour officials but it’s also golf club storage for the pros during the week.
Each day, a variety of golf bags can be seen lined up along the walls, the gear either ready for that day’s tee time or waiting to be put back into storage.
Seeing all the pro’s bags lined up provides a chance to get a sneak peak at the tools – oh, man, I have those Callaway irons! – that the best players in the world are working with.

The 15-time major champ made a subtle change to his bag.
Equipment lovers are fascinated by Tiger Woods’ gear.
A traditionalist, Tiger has embraced technological advancements in drivers and fairway woods, but he has been very slow to change irons, shafts or grips. In fact, after growing up with a Ping putter, he has used a Ping grip on his Scotty Cameron putter for decades.
Having played a few practice rounds at Southern Hills in preparation for the PGA Championship, Woods has opted to change that setup, removing two clubs and adding two others.

The first club that Woods removed from his bag this week is the M3 5-wood, and one of the clubs that he added is a TaylorMade P-770 2-iron. In years past, Woods removed his 5-wood and added a 2-iron on fast, firm courses where the wind is a factor, like links venues that host the British Open.
The other change that Woods made is taking out his P-7TW 3-iron and adding a P-770 3-iron in its place. That move, unlike swapping a 2-iron for a 5-wood, is unusual for Tiger.

The P-770 is a compact, hollow-bodied club that is designed to be a better-player’s distance iron. It has a forged 4140 stainless steel face attached to a forged 8620 carbon steel body. The inner chamber is filled with a foam material that TaylorMade refers to as Speed Foam. It absorbs excessive vibrations, to improve sound and feel, but does not inhibit the face from flexing or reduce ball speed. There is also an internal tungsten weight inside the head that lowers the center of gravity location to encourage a higher ball flight. Finally, there is a Speed Pocket slot in the sole that allows the lower portion of the hitting area to bend more efficiently on thin shots.
Time will tell whether the addition of the two P-770 irons is going to be permanent or whether they are course-specific clubs that woods is planning to use only at Southern Hills, but given Tiger’s injuries and reduced ability to practice, it makes sense that he might be looking for more ball speed and distance from his long irons.
