Jayson Tatum, an NBA talent who plays for the Boston Celtics, competed in the rain-soaked FedEx St. Jude Championship Pro-Am on Wednesday alongside Jon Rahm.

Tatum is an avid golfer, but this was his first PGA TOUR pro-am event. Tatum admitted he couldn’t sleep the night before because he was nervous of playing beside Rahm.

Prior to his pro-am debut at TPC Southwind in Memphis, GolfWRX.com spoke with Tatum to learn how the 6-foot-11-inch forward organises his golf bag.

Most notably, Tatum employs extra-large grips to accommodate his huge hands. He also uses a custom baby blue Jordan brand golf bag with his “JT” logo, a mixed set of irons (his stepfather/caddie says he’s still testing out new PXG irons), and he uses a custom Scotty Cameron TourType SSS putter, which is stamped “Deuce,” the nickname for his son Jayson Jr. Tatum also plays with a Titleist golf ball with a personalised “Big Deuce” stamp on it.
