Welcome to the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Although the celebrity presence and general PGA Tour field size has certainly slimmed down compared to previous editions of the event, the equipment news was no less exciting.

Overall, we captured 20 “What’s in the Bag?” photo galleries, including Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, NFL quarterback Josh Allen, NBA Legend Pau Gasol, Matt Kuchar, and Sam Burns.

A star-studded lineup, indeed.

While I encourage all equipment fans to check out our full lineup of photos from Pebble Beach, I wanted to recap the highlights below.

Alas, here are 9 interesting photos from the 2024 Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

1) Inside 7-foot, 1-incher Pau Gasol’s golf bag

When you have hands big enough to make a basketball look like a grapefruit, it’s advised to use bigger grips.

L.A. Lakers legend Pau Gasol took up the game of golf about 3.5 years ago, and after speaking with him on Tuesday at Pebble Beach, it’s clear how much he loves the game. He spent about two hours working with Pebble Beach’s Senior Instructor Kevin M. Hanssen on Tuesday, and by the end of the session, he was consistently hitting drives over 160 mph ball speed on Trackman.

With such a wide swing arc, and getting such a late start in life, it’s impressive to see how well Gasol plays the game already. A true athlete.

His ferrule game is also incredibly strong on his Srixon ZX5 irons.

Gasol told GolfWRX.com that he’s had multiple club fittings to find a proper setup, and he uses clubs that measure about 2-3 inches longer than standard. When you’re over 7-feet tall, it ain’t easy getting dialed in correctly, but that’s what professional fitters are for.

2) Black Srixon irons?!

Made for Lucas Glover, we spotted new Srixon MKII and ZX5 black prototype irons this week at Pebble Beach. While this week was a bit difficult for club testing, due to the cold and windy weather, he says he’s giving them a serious test next week at the WM Phoenix Open.

How do you think the blacked-out Srixon’s are looking? Join the discussion about the new irons in our GolfWRX Forums.

3) Super customized putters can be awesome…

But Brandon Wu’s Scotty Cameron putter stands out for its simplicity.

Also because it’s quite reminiscent of the G.O.A.T.’s putter. That doesn’t hurt either.

4) Yes, Nick Dunlap turned professional

But he’s still representing the University of Alabama Crimson Tide in style.

As Dunlap revealed to GolfWRX.com this week, his NIL deal with TaylorMade has officially reached a conclusion now that he’s turned pro, so he’s teeing it up this week as an equipment free agent.

Who knows what the future may hold.

5) JT spotted using a ProSendr training aid

I personally haven’t seen Justin Thomas using the ProSendr before, so I figured I’d include it in this recap. The product was created by David Woods and Sean Foley, and the wrist cradle helps to maintain the proper wrist angle on the backswing. We’ll keep an eye on this going forward to see if it becomes a staple in Thomas’ warm-up/practice sessions.

In other training aid news:

We spotted Adam Svensson working with this putter-face training aid that forces him to contact the exact center of the face.

We also spotted a new training aid from renowned PGA Tour putting coach Stephen Sweeney, which adds an extra mirror portion to the typical putting mirror, helping to ensure proper shoulder alignment.

6) Checking back in with Matt Kuchar

As an equipment free agent for his full-swing clubs, Matt Kuchar is now free to play 13 clubs from whatever brand he chooses. Thankfully, he’s still opting to play this classic Ping Anser 20-degree hybrid, with a wear mark on the sweet spot that perfectly explains his longevity on the PGA Tour.

7) Adam Scott’s tentative 14-club setup

When Adam Scott showed up to the range on Wednesday, his new forest green “Fairgame” staff bag was filled with what I estimate to be about 25 clubs. It’s clear that he’s still in full-time testing mode, but here’s a look at his bag setup after the Wednesday session. Keep in mind, it can all change at any time.

8) Poston’s Poa putter

When playing on Poa Annua greens, J.T. Poston says he uses a replica of his gamer Scotty Cameron Golo 5 putter, except this one doesn’t have a sightline on it. Without a line, he says it helps him focus more on feels and helps awaken the inner athlete on the relatively unpredictable putting surfaces.

Clubs for courses is a real thing, and can help you shave strokes if you do it right.

9) Alright, I confess, this isn’t an equipment photo…

But the approach shot on No. 8 is worth including in any photo recap from Pebble Beach. Plus, I basically risked my life to take it!

Not as risky as Adam Hadwin’s videography on No. 7, though…

So casual. So risky. So glad he made it out alive.

And, with that show of survival, we say goodbye to the beautiful cliffs in Monterey. We’ll see you next week in the much flatter Scottsdale desert for the party at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
