What’s In The Bag: Nick Dunlap

What golf clubs does Alabama superstar Nick Dunlap use? An in-depth look at what’s in the bag of the first player in PGA Tour history to win as an amateur and a professional in the same year.
Everyone remember the name: Nick Dunlap. In January 2024, he made history at The American Express, becoming the first amateur to win a PGA TOUR event in 33 years. The last to do so before Dunlap was Phil Mickelson in 1991 at the Northern Telecom Open in Tucson, Arizona.
Dunlap was the only amateur in the 156-player American Express field and after the Alabama sophomore shot a record-breaking 60 on Saturday he took a three-stroke lead into the final round. His round matched the lowest recorded by any amateur at a Tour event.
Fast forward to July of 2024 at The Tahoe Mountain Club, he became the first player in PGA Tour history to win as an amateur and a professional in the same year, after rallying Sunday for a two-point victory in the Barracuda Championship.
“I never thought that I would have my name next to that, but it’s definitely an honor,” Dunlap said about the amateur-pro double. “It’s been a little tough after AmEx. You kind of lose a little bit of confidence and wonder if you can do it again.”
Even before the win, Dunlap was in esteemed company as he joined Tiger Woods in 2023 as the only male golfers to win both the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Junior Amateur titles. The sophomore has also won the Northeast, North, and South Amateurs, along with the Walker Cup, and earned All-American honors in his Freshman season at Alabama.
Being a TaylorMade staffer, the majority of Dunlap’s bag is made up of TaylorMade equipment, along with a few clubs he can’t seem to let go. Let’s take a look at the specific models the Alabama star has in the bag.
