It doesn’t happen often but when it does, it’s a big deal — well, a big deal for us gear heads, anyway.
The cause of our excitement: regular golfers having the chance to get their paws on Tour issue equipment.
In Callaway’s case, to have a club with the coveted “TC” serial number on the hosel represents something special. So special that it creates urban legend about what these “Tour Issue” parts actually do. Thing is, most of the those legends are just that: myths.
In simple terms, Tour equipment is slightly more nuanced to complement a player’s preferred look, launch window or spin profile. No, the clubs aren’t hotter, just more specific.
If you want the full nitty gritty, here is an article I wrote for in 2023.
Today — exclusively on Fairway Jockey — you can now get your hands on Callaway Tour-issue equipment. Check out all the cool offerings below:
