What’s in Nick Dunlap’s winning golf bag?

All Square 3 min read • 22 Jan 2024

Nick Dunlap won’t see any of The American Express $1.5m prize money after becoming the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in 1991. Here’s the clubs he used.

The 20-year-old holed a six-foot par putt on the last to claim the title by one stroke from Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who gets the entire winner’s cheque because of Dunlap’s amateur status.

The American said: “Whether I made or missed that, if you had told me come Wednesday night that I had a putt to win this tournament, I wouldn’t have believed you.”

His victory at La Quinta’s Pete Dye-designed Stadium course came after he missed the cut in his three previous events on the PGA Tour. He now has a two-year exemption as well as entry to the Masters, the US PGA Championship and The Players Championship.

Mickelson, who won the 1991 Northern Telecom Open as an amateur, posted on X: “Such an impressive performance by Nick Dunlap. Congratulations on an incredible win.”
