[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."Father's irons are more expensive."

Mike Thomas, father of world No. 3 Justin Thomas (USA), uses the same Titleist golf clubs as his son. As a former teaching pro who personally coached his son, his golf skills are naturally excellent. In fact, on the final day of the PGA Tour's premium event, the PNC Championship, held on the 21st at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida (par 72), he teamed up with his son to shoot 15 under par, finishing at the top with a combined 25 under par 119 strokes over two rounds.

Titleist, which supports the son's golf equipment, also sponsors the father. This is why the Thomas father and son use exclusively Titleist brand drivers, woods, irons, wedges, putters, and balls. Interestingly, the son's irons cost 1.5 million KRW, while the father's irons are priced at 4.5 million KRW. On the 23rd (Korean time), Golf.com in the U.S. introduced that "the irons Mike uses are premium-grade, retailing at $500 each."

These are the 'Concept CNCPT' irons. Born from the idea of "pursuing ideal performance regardless of production cost," they feature high-density tungsten and metal L-face inserts. There are three models: CP-02 (muscle back), CP-03 (mid-size muscle back), and CP-04 (cavity back). Mike chose the CP-03, a set of seven clubs including 5 to 9 irons, P, and W. When ordered in advance, a dedicated fitter conducts tests and provides fitting tailored to the player's physique.

Justin Thomas's father Mike uses irons more expensive than his son's, the Titleist 'Concept CNCPT'.
