The Northern Trust Open – created as the Los Angeles Open – was first played in 1926. The total purse that year was $10,000, at the time, the largest prize in golf. As part of the 90th year anniversary of the Northern Trust Open, Rory McIlroy, Kevin Na, Charley Hoffman, and Anirban Lahiri hit a variety of vintage clubs from the 1920’s, 50’s and 90’s to commemorate the occasion. But the rapid advances in technology over the past couple of decades means that, as McIlroy said, even the clubs from the 1990s are like antiques to him! And it’s not the first time he’s tested vintage clubs either – take a look!
