Lake Tahoe has some unique equipment this weekend.

The American Century Championship is a vibrant golf exhibition. Actors, sports figures and famous media celebrities gather at the scenic Edgewood Tahoe Resort Course in Lake Tahoe to participate in games and enjoy a weekend away from daily performances. The event is fun, but also very competitive; it turns out that super successful people are not loyal fans of failure. Who would have thought of it!

As the senior equipment editor of GOLF, I can see some of the world's most famous celebrity golfers at the 2021 American Century Championships deciding which equipment to put in their golf bags.

Below, let’s take a look at the equipment settings of celebrities you might be curious about, including Justin Timberlake, Charles Barkley, Stephen Curry, Jerry Rice, Vince Carter, Patrick Mahoms, Ray ·Allen et al. Let's dive directly.

Curry is a two-time NBA MVP and a three-time NBA champion for the Golden State Warriors. He is a junior golfer. He has participated in the Korn Ferry International Tour. He is an employee of Callaway Golf.

In the Korbel Long Drive game on Thursday, GOLF.com used the Foresight GCQuad launch monitor to measure Curry's No. 1 swing speed at a speed of 123 mph. Curry's swing obviously brought some serious heat, and he used a driver that can knock down the spin to prevent the ball from swelling too much and losing distance.

To optimize his speed, Curry used a customized Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero "Single Diamond" prototype driver with Fujikura Ventus Blue 7x shafts. According to Callaway's Johnny Wunder, the head size is 450cc-slightly smaller than the USGA's maximum limit-and it is made for "super liar" low spin and gradient deviation.

Interestingly, as Curry told GOLF.com, he recently played a game with NFL superstar Tom Brady at the Cypress Corner Club. In the round they were together, Brady tried Curry's driver and liked it so much that he asked Callaway to make an exact replica of the driver for him. Brady finally used the driver in the "Game 4" earlier this week. He played alongside Phil Mickelson and played alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rogers. The duo fight against each other.

Unfortunately, for us ordinary people, the "single diamond" prototype has never been sold in retail stores, but it can be boiled down to the privilege of becoming a legendary sports figure.

Curry uses Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero fairway woods (13.5 degrees), X-Forged UT irons (18 degrees), Apex Pro Forged irons (4-PW), custom Jaws MD5 wedges (50, 56 and 60) Full of his ball package), and Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas putter.

Rice is generally considered one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history, and he also has some of the most eye-catching irons in the American Century Championship.

He carried the same gorgeous Nike VR Pro blade irons that Tiger Woods used in the early to mid-2010s, except that Rice's jersey was printed with the old number 80 jersey number he wore throughout his NFL career. Rice is an excellent golfer himself, but it is no exaggeration to say that his irons are not as accurate as Woods. Although irons are not necessarily the most forgiving choice, Rice told GOLF.com that he likes the feedback and precision that irons provide.

"If I can make reliable contacts, it will give me very good feedback," Rice told GOLF.com. "When I first started golfing, I had blades. Many people don't like to play with blades because they are hard to hit, but I think I need that kind of precision. It helps my shots."

If you want to buy a new set for yourself, good luck. Since Nike stopped producing golf clubs in 2016, the company will no longer produce these golf clubs. Because of their active acceptance among equipment enthusiasts and Woods' influence, they are also highly sought after. The clever thing is that Rice bought a bunch from anyone who owned them a few years ago. He told GOLF.com that he currently has seven spares.

"What I did was once Nike stopped producing clubs, I would ask people around,'Do you have Nike clubs?' I would buy them from them," Rice said.

Filling Les’s bag, he used a Nike Vapor Fly driver (8.5 degrees; Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board 60S shaft), a Nike Vapor Fly fairway wood (15 degrees; UST Mamiya Attas 4U 6S shaft), A Nike VR attack wedge, a VR Pro 56-degree wedge, a VR boom wedge and a Nike Method Core 4i bottom bracket putter.

Carter is a retired NBA legend. He had a famous electric shock performance in the 2000 NBA All-Star Dunk Contest. He lit up the court with four unique dunks, including 1) a 360-degree reverse windmill, 2) an air relay between his legs, 3) jumping off the free throw line, and 4) his arm reaching the basket . Every dunk is legendary, and the contoured version of each dunk is engraved on his ultra-custom Tad Moore putter.

Jonathan Wall, chief editor of the equipment department at GOLF.com, discussed the background story of putting and what it means to Carter himself. Check out Wall's article here to learn more about the awesome flatstick.

Allen is a retired NBA legend who has played for several different teams, including the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Seattle Supersonics and Connecticut Huskies. His cool custom golf bag pays tribute to all the teams he has represented throughout his career.

As a founding member of the Jordan team, it is well known that Allen has some of the coolest PE (player-only) basketball sneakers in his shoe series. So, of course he has a pair of basketball shoes as his putting cover, which is correct.

As we all know, Allen made a fatal three-pointer on the basketball court, but did you know that the best round of golf in his career was 61? Yes, he will not mess when it comes to his golf game, and his odds of winning the game are about 40/1, depending on where you watch it.

As you can see from his golf bag, Allen uses a set of mixed irons, including TaylorMade P-7TW blade short irons, TaylorMade P770 long irons and Callaway X-Forged 18-degree service irons. By mixing his set of irons with irons of different designs, Allen can use the accuracy of blade irons on shorter clubs, while obtaining higher speed and fault tolerance on longer irons.

On Wednesday, before his practice wheel test drivers, GOLF.com spotted Timberlake-a superstar musician and an amateur golfer-on the driving range. Hey, it's never too late to make a call. In the end, he decided to put his trusted TaylorMade SIM driver in a bag he had played before.

In addition to the driver, Timberlake also uses Miura's new PI-401 irons. These irons are designed to improve the game's irons, with a soft feel and silent sound. Filling the Timberlake bag are TaylorMade SIM and SIM2 fairway woods, Titleist Vokey SM8 Blue Slate wedges and new Royal putters.

Canelo is one of the most famous boxers on the planet and has won the world championship belt in many different weight classes. He is also completely obsessed with golf. After the practice session at the American Century Championship on Wednesday, he and his caddie coach batted for hours on the practice court to hone their swing skills.

His customized golf bag shows his love for the sport: "No Golf, No Life" is written on the outer bag. Canelo also uses a black version of TaylorMade P790 irons, designed to help golfers get longer distances and launch distances.

Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys NFL quarterback and current broadcaster, is a popular candidate to win the American Century Championship this week. He is a competitive golfer who has participated in Korn Ferry and PGA Tour events. According to reports, he often competes with Will Zalatoris and Jordan Spieth. ) Waiting for the PGA Tour professional players to play together.

On Thursday, GOLF.com used the Foresight GCQuad launch monitor to measure his swing speed. He was swinging at 110 mph! Yes, Chuck, not bad at all.

In his golf bag, Barkley uses a full PXG (Parson Xtreme Golf) setup, including the new Gen4 0311 XP irons, which are designed to provide additional fault tolerance and distance. With huge hands, Barkley also chose to use the JumboMax grip, which is the same grip used by the PGA Tour professional Bryson DeChambeau on his club.

Hawke, the former NFL linebacker, is a beast on the court, obviously on the golf course as well. In the Korbel Long Drive game on Thursday, GOLF.com measured his swing speed at an astonishing 132 mph, and he passed the ball 326 yards.

Hawk uses a modern Callaway Epic Speed ​​driver on the teeing table, and he uses an old-fashioned persimmon driver as a fairway driver, which he bought at a garage auction in Columbus, Ohio for $5.

Seriously, he used a $5 garage to sell persimmon drivers as his fairway wood! Check out the video below to listen to Hawke's speech at the Retro Club.

Mahomes entered his fifth year as the NFL quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He has accumulated an impressive game history, including Super Bowl MVP and NFL League MVP. He also dropped an absolute bomb with the driver. In the Korbel Long Drive of the American Century Championship, Mahomes won the race with a flying distance of 347 yards.

Mahomes uses TaylorMade Milled Grind wedge and TaylorMade P770 irons printed with the word "PM".

Tucker is a former NFL defensive end for the New York Giants. He is an avid golfer, but he doesn't like to hit the ball on the golf course. To be on the safe side, he usually chooses the number 2 iron outside the tee.

However, due to a long driving race, Tucker pulled out his PXG driver and swung fearlessly at the fence. The problem was that he almost missed the golf ball, clamped the toe edge of his driver, and flew the ball to Mark Hannan (the senior producer of golf at 8am, as well as GOLF's SubPar and the fully equipped podcast Of the producer) on the head. .

Take a look below. Try not to back down:

GOLF.com // Post shared by GOLF Magazine (@golf_com)

Hannan knelt on one knee on the side of the tee-as if to avoid injury-was filming a slow-motion video of Tucker's swing; Hannan is a big fan of the Giants, please remember. A few seconds later, Tucker's ball got off the club at 43 degrees to the left of his target, almost hitting Hannan's forehead.

Tucker's shot broke a tile of the Korbel long-distance tee list screen, leaving a black mark on Tucker's Titleist Pro V1x golf ball.

Don't worry, Hannan is very good (although a little shaken), Tucker even signed his golf ball. Tucker may never be shot down among his fellow athletes, but at least Hannan returned home with an unforgettable story.

From now on, Tucker will definitely insist on using No. 2 iron. You know, for safety.
