On Wednesday, NBA superstar Jayson Tatum and Boston Celtics teammate Jon Rahm participated in the FedEx St. Jude Championship Pro-Am, which was canceled due to weather.
Tatum played in his first PGA TOUR pro-am despite his extensive golfing background. Tatum admitted that he was too nervous to sleep the night before the game since he knew Rahm would be playing with him.
We hooked up with 6-foot-11-inch forward Tatum to see how he sets up his golf bag before his pro-am debut at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Notably, Tatum’s habit of using extra-large grips is a direct result of his unusually huge hands. In addition to his personalized Scotty Cameron TourType SSS putter, which bears the nickname “Deuce” after his son Jayson Jr., he uses a mixed set of irons, a baby blue Jordan brand golf bag with his “JT” emblem, and, according to his stepfather/caddie, he is still testing out new PXG irons. The Titleist “Big Deuce” golf ball that Tatum uses has his own stamp on it.
Take a look at Tatum’s complete bag specs down below.
