On Wednesday at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard pro-am, PGA TOUR player Tony Finau played alongside a star-studded group of amateurs featuring MLB legend Ken Griffey Jr., NBA hall-of-famer Vince Carter and NFL great Kyle Rudolph.
Carter – who's a retired eight-time NBA all-star, 1999 NBA Rookie of the Year, and 2000 NBA Dunk Contest champion – is also an avid golfer who frequents pro-ams and celebrity events during his post-NBA career.

While speaking with GolfWRX.com ahead of playing in the Wednesday pro-am, Carter revealed that he does not have an equipment deal with any particular company, but he does, in fact, use all 14 clubs from one company: Ping Golf.
Carter says he has played Ping clubs “for as long as (he) can remember.” He’s simply found the best results with Ping throughout his golfing career, so there’s been no need to deviate from what works.
