Callaway Forged Chrome Wedges

Designed by the world-famous clubmaker Roger Cleveland and forged by Callaway, the Forged Wedges harness Cleveland’s design expertise and Tour player feedback.


Phil Mickelson and Ernie Ells play Callaway golf clubs.

Forged from soft 1020 carbon steel. Get soft feel with a precision-milled face and grooves that channel away water and debris. On top of that, you get great shot-to-shot consistency.

Traditional Tour size and shape exposes more face area to the ball through contact, giving you great confidence around the green.

The Tour-inspired sole grind is ground down to lower the leading edge, especially when the face is open for your delicate flop shots or high lobs. The trailing edge is beveled so the club sits square when open.

John Daly Second after First Round of PGA Championship


Crowd favorite and past PGA Championship winner, John Daly finished with a 3 under par 67 and two behind first day leader Graeme Storm. John Daly did have the outright lead in the first round of the British Open before collapsing down the stretch. Today Daly kept it together and finished strong. Different than the other players Daly mentioned that he didn't play a practice round before this years tournament at Southern Hills. As the weather is scorching and most players drinking plenty of water, Daly said he survives on cigarettes and diet coke.

Tiger Woods finished 6 strokes behind the leader at +1. Tiger tees off in the afternoon tomorrow and will part of the TNT coverage.

Phil Mickelson started off hot only to start spraying his tee shots all over the place and scambling for par. Mickelson finished at +3.

Sergio Garcia made a nice come back after the missed opportunity at the Open Championship with an even par round. This puts Sergio in a good position going into Friday and the weekend.

What Does Phil Mickelson Play for Golf Clubs

Phil Mickelson will be teeing it up at Southern Hills this weekend for the latest PGA Championship. Phil Mickelson now the #3 ranked player in the world is known for his impressive shot making ability. So, what clubs does Phil Mickelson play with? The answer is the Callaway X-Tour irons.

It’s one of the most talked-about debuts on tour this season. The new X-Tour Irons are now in the bags of players like Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam and Charles Howell III. Forged 1020 Carbon Steel Body: The X-Tour's advanced two-piece design features a forged 1020 carbon steel body, with a forged 1020 carbon steel face welded in 360 degree undercut channel, which enlarges the sweet spot and provides perimeter weighting previously unavailable on a performance iron. Extreme Notch Weighting : Extreme notch weighting focuses the perimeter weight to the extreme heel and toe helping to raise the Moments of Inertia for resistance to twisting on off-center hits. Traditional Size and Shape : In designing a performance iron with a traditional size and shape, many new design features were incorporated into Callaway's X-Tour irons. The X-Tour blade length is shorter from heel to toe, while the toe has been raised and squared. A thin, understated, pared-off top line and straight leading edge provide the look "traditional" players prefer, while reduced hosel offset and a beveled, narrower sole combine to add workability from all types of conditions. New Blind-Bore Hosel Technology: A hosel design longer than the patented S2H2 design of past Callaway irons moves the center of gravity towards the heel and higher in the

PGA Championship Comments from Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson

Tiger Woods, Phi Michelson, and other top PGA Tour golfers met with the media for the traditional new conferences before golf's major championships.

Tiger Woods mentioned that with the hot temperatures and advanced golf balls that the ball is traveling farther than the last time Southern Hills hosted a major. Tiger felt that the heat doesn't effect him that much and scuffed at the idea that the heat can do anything to his concentration.

Phil Mickelson talking about what Sergio Garcia is going through said that talking to the media was the hardest part about not winning a major.

Sergia Garcia seemed to handle himself more mature this week than the news conference after losing the British Open. Sergio could be the player to beat this week as in the past he has played well after disappointing finishes in majors.
