The Golfer and Their Bag: Luke Donald Golf Equipment

For Luke Donald, 2011 was almost a perfect year. Not only did he become the first golfer ever to win both the European PGA and USPGA Tour money titles in the same year, he cemented his position as world number one with a season of unerring consistency that has seen him rightfully acclaimed as currently the world’s best golfer.

Indeed, the only way Donald could have improved on this momentous year would have been to have added a major title to his collection of victories. With the 2012 season just gearing up and professional golfers starting to get their swing into shape for the first major of the year this April at Augusta, Donald will no doubt be itching to finally put that right.

Rickie Fowler and his Titleist Golf Equipment

Rickie Fowler and his Titleist Golf Equipment

The graduate of Oklahoma State University may be famous for his bright orange outfits reminiscent of his alma mater jersies, but Rickie Fowler is also one of American golf’s most exciting young golfing talents. Perhaps most remarkable, is that the Californian is almost entirely self-taught.

His time spent practising alone on the range paid dividends as his natural talent shone through at high school and at OSU. As an amateur he appeared in two Walker Cup events, turning professional after the second of these in 2009.

He quickly joined the pro ranks signing deals with Puma (clothing) and Titleist (clubs and balls). His exciting style of play, never say die attitude, and competitive spirit have already earmarked him as a future great.

Tiger Woods and his Nike Golf Equipment

Tiger Woods and his Nike Golf Equipment

Whisper it quietly, but the Tiger may finally be stirring from its two-year slumber. His form in the recent Emirates Australian Open saw him finish a respectable third in the tournament, finishing behind Greg Chalmers and John Senden. Indeed, had it not been for a dismal third round 75, Woods may well have comfortably won the tournament, posting as he did scores of 68, 67 and a final day 67 to land third spot on his own.

Woods frequent interviews where he seems to dismiss reporters fears over his much modified swing and insistence that things are coming together, finally look like they have a grain of truth. It could not have come at a better time especially after this week’s Presidents Cup, not least because it pitted Tiger against former caddie Steve Williams (now on the bag for Adam Scott). Tiger may have finally found some form, even if the team golf format hasn’t been the best showcase for his talents in the past.

Ernie Els and his Callaway Golf Clubs | Callaway Golf Equipment

If there is a professional golfer most responsible for the collective angst shared by amateur golfers as to just how difficult the game actually is, then it is arguably Ernie Els. Watching the big South African play the game is beguiling. His languid, flowing swing seems effortless end entirely natural.

Ernie-Els
It has earned him the nickname The Big Easy and the results of his swing are usually spectacular. Els is only too aware of how his game appears to others, stating:

Jack Nicklaus Golf Clubs and Golf Equipment

For a man who has achieved so much in golf, and who has shaped the current position of professional golf like no other, Jack Nicklaus is a remarkably humble man. As he stood on the famous Swilken Bridge at St. Andrews in 2005, taking a ten minute standing ovation from an adoring crowd, Nicklaus was saying goodbye on the final hole when playing in his last Open Championship. The Golden Bear’s illustrious career achievements remain as fresh and vibrant as ever.

Golfer Tom Lewis and his Ping Golf Equipment

Few golfers have made as much of an impression over their first three rounds as a professional as young British player Tom Lewis. After leading this year’s British Open alongside Thomas Bjorn after the first round, his talent was duly noted on the world stage. Two months later, Lewis was one of the stars of the victorious Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team and it was expected that the player, who was ranked as the 7th best Amateur in the world at the start of the tournament, would turn professional after the event.

 
That proved to be the case and Lewis made his debut as a professional at the Austrian Open later that month, recovering well from an opening round 74, to finish tied for tenth in his first European Tour tournament.

The Golfer and His Bag: Bryce Molder Uses Titleist Equipment

Bryce Molder’s nerve-jangling victory at the FRYS.com Open on 9 October was his first on the tour. In a day when big names like Ernie Els and Paul Casey struggled to match his stunning final round 64 and Tiger Woods was seemingly pestered by a man flinging hot dogs (!), Molder triumphed when he defeated Briny Baird on the sixth play-off hole, sinking a 6-foot birdie putt after a dramatic marathon play off.

Molder is a Titleist staff player and outlined below are the clubs he used to record superb final rounds of 65 and 64, to win the FRYS.com championship.
