Lee Trevino’s wildly interesting $5,000+ club setup at the PNC Championship

Lee Trevino is a legend in the golf world for both his on-course success, and his unmatched storytelling ability. As one of the most interesting men in golf, it’s only right that his golf bag is one of the most interesting in golf, too.

Most would expect that a player as storied and established as Trevino probably hasn’t paid for a golf club in decades, but Trevino revealed that he actually pays retail for his clubs! On Tuesday ahead of the PNC Championship, Trevino told GolfWRX.com that he estimates he’s in for about $5,000 on the set he’s using this week.

“I have four different sets at home, and my wife asked if I was really going to bring all four bags,” Trevino said. “So I picked out a set, and this is what I have with me this week. I just got these Mizunos, which I really like. I’ll tell you what I also really like, is those new Callaway Apex Pro irons. Man, they look good with that longer blade. But I have the new Mizunos with me this week. I’m in for about $5,000 on the set here.”

Most notably, from a performance standpoint, Trevino told GolfWRX.com that since he’s getting a bit older, and losing some speed, he’s recently switched into shafts with softer flexes throughout the bag (amateurs take note!).

His current shaft setup includes an AutoFlex driver shaft, lightweight Project X Cypher fairway wood shafts, and KBS Players Graphite Iron 70-gram shafts.

Trevino also pointed out his Mike Taylor-designed Artisan wedges, which come with Trevino’s “Super Mex” logo stamped on the back.

“I haven’t used these wedges since last year [at the 2022 PNC Championship],” Trevino told GolfWRX.com. “I didn’t want to mess with the grooves, so I just kept them on the wall until this week.”

As for the putter(s), Trevino will choose between two different options: an original L.A.B. Golf with a custom forward-leaning shaft, an armlock SuperStroke 1.0 grip, and a clean slab of lead tape on the sole…

…or a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 mallet with a standard-length Scotty Cameron grip.

Arguably the most interesting club in his bag, though, needs no words at all to describe how cool it is:

Apparently, Trevino doesn’t miss the center of the face with his Callaway Steelhead XR 25-degree hybrid.

Something tells me that no matter which of the four sets Trevino decided to take with him this week, this XR hybrid was coming with him regardless.

Trevino is worth $50 mil. Paying for $5000 in clubs is like the average person “rounding up to the next dollar” to donate to a food bank. Hysterical how the people who can afford things the most are the least expected to have to pay, and the poorest won’t even get a discount.

Lee Trevino is actually paying for golf clubs? I don’t really believe that. But if it is true, he should not be paying for clubs. Golf manufacturers should want their clubs in the legend’s bag for the publicity.

C’mon OEM’s … are you seriously telling me that it wouldn’t be a good business decision to sponsor someone like Trevino, even if he is basically a ceremonially golfer at this point?

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
