Watch: NBA star Jayson Tatum reveals what’s inside his custom golf bag ahead of outing with Jon Rahm
Boston Celtics star basketball player Jayson Tatum was recently at the TPC Southwind, Memphis, for his first Pro-Am, ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Before his outing with the Masters 2023 champion Jon Rahm, he revealed what was inside his golf bag.
The PGA Tour shared a video of Tatum, in which he was heard describing his golf bag and the equipment inside it. In the video, he said:
"What's up? It's Jayson Tatum from the Boston Celtics. I'm here in Memphis playing my first ever Pro-Am. I'm very nervous but looking forward to having some fun.
"Check out my bag. Baby blue and the white elephant print Jordan brand and I have the JT logo. I'm in between clubs, I've got some PXG's and I've got some PING's. I do have this very nice putter though. Very special birthday gift. Got the JT right there. Deuce right there for my son. So hopefully I get some birdies today. Bring me good luck."

Jayson Tatum, who started swinging golf clubs, sometime around the COVID-19 pandemic time, feels that Memphis is the right place to play his first pro-am event. Since his stepfather, Jake Barnes, is from the same city, he has a certain fondness for the place.
In an interview before the event, Tatum said, as per Memphis Commercial Appeal:
"Memphis is kind of like a second home. I spent a lot of time here in the summer growing up."
