This is the most absurd equipment setup in professional golf

Let’s start with the obvious: Christo Lamprecht looks more like a hooper than a pro golfer. The rangy South African began high school at 5 feet, 6 inches, before hitting a massive growth spurt, finishing college at 6-feet-8. Now he towers over nearly everyone on the range—and his golf swing is every bit as fascinating as his frame.

After locking up his PGA Tour card with a ninth-place finish on the Korn Ferry Tour points list, Lamprecht is set to showcase not only his game on golf’s biggest stage but also one of the most unconventional gear setups in professional golf.

Earlier this year, Lamprecht gave fans a peek inside his bag — and let’s just say it raised a few eyebrows.

“It’s definitely the weirdest bag out here this week,” Lamprecht said.

While his setup could evolve as he adjusts to tour venues next season, two choices in particular make his gear configuration stand out.

1. Five wedges

At first glance, carrying five wedges doesn’t sound that wild. But if Lamprecht continues to roll with five Ping scoring clubs (46, 48, 52, 56 and 60 degrees), he’ll likely be one of the few players on the PGA Tour with more than four in the bag.

Lamprecht has been gaming the five-wedge setup for over 18 months, and he swears by it for eliminating tweener yardages.

“I love the five wedges in the bag,” he said. “They’ve really helped me a lot [on the Korn Ferry Tour], just having an extra stock number to hit. A lot of courses out here neck up [narrow] at 330 yards, and that’s my superpower—having a lot less club.”

He’s not exaggerating. Lamprecht led the Korn Ferry Tour in driving distance last season, averaging 331.1 yards off the tee.

For most golfers, adding a fourth wedge makes sense if you’ve got a distance gap to fill. But five? That’s a luxury reserved for players with endless speed in the tank.

2. Two drivers

The two-driver setup isn’t new on tour, but Lamprecht’s version is distinct. He pairs a standard 9-degree Ping G430 LST with a shorter, 14-degree Ping G440 Max—a driver in mini-driver clothing.

With no traditional 3-wood in the bag, Lamprecht needed something to bridge the gap between driver and his longest iron when he can’t let the big stick fly.

“On holes where I can’t hit driver, I’m forced to hit 3-iron, and that leaves me way too far back,” he said. “So I needed something where if I couldn’t hit driver, I could still be aggressive. That’s why the mini driver is in the bag.”

After the mini, Lamprecht transitions into a weakened 3-iron to fill the distance gap before moving to his 5-iron.

It’s an unusual setup, but one that’s worked wonders for the 24-year-old—and it could make him a sneaky weapon as he steps onto the PGA Tour next season.
