Ever notice those distinctive golf clubs with the little screw-like weights all over them? That's PXG (Parsons Xtreme Golf), and if you've wondered who on tour is actually putting them in play, you're not alone. We’ll take a direct look at the pros who have joined the PXG Troops, why they made the switch, and what lessons the average golfer can take away from their equipment choices.
Before we list the names, it helps to understand why PXG exists. It was founded by billionaire Bob Parsons, a passionate golfer who was frustrated with shelling out big money for the latest clubs only to see minimal performance gains. His goal was to create the best golf clubs on the planet, with a "no cost, no time" constraint on research and development. This philosophy led to some unique design principles that attract tour professionals.
The most iconic feature is, of course, the array of tungsten and titanium weights visible on the clubhead. These aren’t just for show. They are the heart of PXG’s custom fitting process, allowing a master fitter to precisely manipulate swing weight, Moment of Inertia (MOI), and shot bias (draw/fade) to a degree that traditional clubs can't match. For a tour pro whose swing is a finely tuned machine, this level of precision is a massive advantage.
Beyond the weights, PXG pioneered the use of hollow-body, injected-foam iron designs. This allows them to create an iron with the sleek, thin-bladed look that better players prefer, while still packing in the forgiveness of a much larger, game-improvement club. You get the best of both worlds: a club that feels great and looks a certain way at address but provides a crucial safety net on mishits.
PXG has built a diverse and formidable roster of professionals across the major global tours. These are players who have made a full commitment to the brand, often playing a full bag of 14 PXG clubs. The roster shows that PXG clubs are versatile enough to work for a wide range of swing types andplaying styles.
On the PGA TOUR, the PXG staff is highlighted by players known for their gritty, consistent play.
Additionally, while now playing other brands, major champions like Zach Johnson and Wyndham Clark had significant and successful stints with PXG, further cementing the brand's tour credibility.
PXG has arguably its strongest professional presence on the LPGA Tour, with a stable of who's who players trusting their gear.
PXG also has a strong foothold in the LIV Golf league, with a couple of big personalities on staff.
A tour pro doesn't change equipment lightly. Their livelihood depends on it. So when a player chooses PXG, it’s for tangible performance reasons. As a coach, I see three primary aadvantages that draw them in.
This is the most significant factor. For a professional golfer, "close" isn't good enough. The aability to use PXG's adjustable weighting to nail a precise swing weight or add a tiny bit of draw or fade bias to a driver is a game-changer. Standard club fittings often involve lead tape or hot melt to achieve this, which can be imprecise. With PXG, fitters can make these adjustments cleanly and scientifically by just changing weights.
Think about it from a coaching perspective: if I can give a player a driver that feels perfectly balanced in their hands and naturally wants to produce their desired shot shape, their confidence soars. They can stop fighting the club and just swing freely.
Tour pros are human. They don't hit every shot perfectly flush. The secret sauce of PXG's iron technology is the forgiveness they pack into a club that stills looks like a player’s iron at address.
A pro’s miss might be just a groove a or two off-center. With a traditional blade, that small miss could translate into a 5-7 yard distance loss - the difference between being on the green or in a bunker. With a hollow-body PXG iron, that same mishit might only fly 1-2 yards shorter and stay online. Over 72 holes, that level of consistency is invaluable. It’s a safety net that lets them be more aggressive.
Sometimes, a single club solves a critical problem in a player's bag. PXG is well-known for producing fantastic putters and hybrids. It's not uncommon to see "equipment free agents" - players without a full-bag contract - gaming a PXG Battle Ready Putter or a GEN6 Hybrid. These players are free to play any 14 clubs they want from any brand, so when they choose a PXG club, it's a pure performance-based decision. It speaks volumes about the club's effectiveness in a specific role.
You don't need to play PXG clubs to learn from the pros who do. Their choice of equipment offers some powerful lessons for every amateur golfer looking to improve.
This is the biggest takeaway. PXG was built on the principle of a perfect fit. Pros play PXG because the clubs are dialed into their exact swing and specifications. Every amateur, regardless of handicap, can see massive benefits from a professional fitting. Playing with clubs that are the wrong length, lie angle, or shaft flex is like trying to run a marathon in shoes that are too big. You're making an already difficult game exponentially harder. Forget buying off the rack, invest in a fitting.
Don't let your ego choose your irons. Even the best ball-strikers in the world, like Patrick Reed and Eric Cole, choose clubs with built-in forgiveness technology. If they see the value in a club that helps on their mishits, you absolutely should too. Most amateurs would score better and have more fun playing a more forgiving iron. Embrace the technology designed to help you.
The high number of non-contracted pros using PXG putters tells you everything you need to know. A putter is the most personal club in the bag. Find one that fits your stroke, looks good to your eye, and gives you confidence. Don't just pick one because of the brand name. Roll putts with as many different models as you can until one feels like an extension of your hands.
The list of pros playing PXG clubs is a testament to Bob Parsons' original mission: build a better piece of golf equipment. Players from the PGA, LPGA, and LIV tours are choosing PXG for its unmatched customization, its unique blend of feel and forgiveness, and its proven performance under pressure.
Ultimately, choosing equipment, whether PXG or another brand, is about finding clubs that inspire confidence. But that’s only half the battle.
