Callaway staffer Sam Burns is in position for his 1st major win at the U.S. Open, and his 6th career PGA TOUR win to date. Plus, Odyssey has won the putter count at every major this year, and it’s the #1 Putter Brand on Tour for 25 years and counting. Check out our top stories so far this weekend from the U.S. Open.
Sam Burns WITB: U.S. Open
Here’s a look at the Callaway equipment in Sam’s bag as he looks to win the U.S. Open:
- Paradym Triple Diamond Driver (9°) – Fuji Ventus Black 7 TX Shaft
- Elyte Triple Diamond Fairway Wood (15°) – Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 75 TX Shaft
- Apex UT (3-iron) – Project X 6.5 Shaft
- Apex TCB Irons (4-PW) – Project X 6.5 Shafts
- Odyssey Ai-ONE 7S Putter
- A Chrome Tour X Golf Ball
Sam is leading the PGA TOUR in SG: Putting this year with his Odyssey Ai-ONE 7S Putter; he’s the only player gaining over 1 stroke against the field on average. His 35″ gamer features our Ai-ONE insert technology for more consistent ball speeds across the face, along with our legendary #7 alignment fangs for better framing and alignment at address. Sam was one of the first players to put in an Ai-ONE when he started using it at the 2023 Tour Championship. And it’s a shape that he’s preferred since he turned professional.
Burns plays a Chrome Tour X Golf Ball, part of the Chrome Family that continues to excel in professional golf and in the market. Our Chrome Tour X is engineered for the best players who want outstanding distance, workability, and spin so they can experience their best performance from tee-to-green. The ball incorporates an optimized core to maximize ball speed, while the Seamless Tour Aero promotes a consistently penetrating ball flight. The High-Performance Tour Urethane Cover promotes enhanced spin and control.
If he wins today, it would be the 4th major victory for our Chrome Tour Golf Ball lineup – Xander Schauffele earned 2 major wins in 2024 with a Chrome Tour, and Yuka Saso won the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open with a Chrome Tour X. Jon Rahm and Emiliano Grillo are also currently in the top-10 at Oakmont with a Chrome Tour X Ball.
One of the top clubs in Sam’s bag this week is his Elyte Triple Diamond 3-wood. For players who benefit from lower spin, the Elyte Triple Diamond has a low, forward CG for powerful launch, fast ball speeds, and low spin characteristics. The new Step Sole is designed for improved turf interaction, while our Tungsten Speed Wave creates fast ball speeds low on the face.
#1 Putter At U.S. Open. #1 On Tour For 25 Years
Odyssey is the clear #1 Putter Brand this week at the U.S. Open with 53 total in the field; no other brand has more than 33. Odyssey continues to dominate as the #1 Putter on every major Tour, and the #1 Putter at every men’s and women’s major so far in 2025.
This success is led by the popularity for our Ai-ONE family of putters, our Square 2 Square models, and our legendary head shapes like #7 and Jailbird. We’ve also been the #1 Putter on Tour for over 25 years, as the world’s best players choose our putters more than any other competitors at golf’s biggest events.
