Why Is Tim Herron Nicknamed The Lumpy? 

Tim Herron earned the moniker “Lumpy” while working at a golf course in Wayzata, Minnesota. The nickname passed on to his Carson, who is often called “The Lumpy Jr.”

Herron loves the nickname and has used it multiple times for branding himself. 

“The nickname is a brand, so we’re going to keep it like that,” Herron told Naples Daily News in 2019.

Herron’s golf course coworkers asked Herron whether he had a nickname or not. He said he did not and went to pick up balls from the driving range. When he returned, he found out he had a brand new nickname. 

“I came up after picking the range, and they said ‘Lumpy, how are you doing? Do you like your nickname?’ I said ‘No,’. Because I said ‘No’ I learned from right there that it was probably going to stick. It stuck all the way through all of the years.”

Herron named his personal site LumpCo, where you can find everything you need to know about his career and buy official merchandise. 

What’s In The Bag

Tim Herron uses PING G400 LST drivers. The low spin variant of the G 400 LST has tungsten weighting closer to the face, which brings down spin by about 300 rpm and promotes low, stable spin with forgiveness. 

The multi-material design combines decreased drag with a thinner, stronger, quicker T9S+ forged face to boost speed and distance. Improved accuracy leads to tighter dispersion with a combined MOI of over 9,000 and a deep C.G.

For irons, Herron prefers the Ping i210. The head of the Ping i210 has a large and smooth elastomer core that springs into life as soon as it touches the ball to yield a premium feel. The machined face and grooves provide the impact consistency and distance precision essential for scoring. 

You can find Ping’s Gilde Forged Pro wedges inside Herron’s bag. Glide Forged Pro wedges can deliver excellent aerodynamics with every hit thanks to their forged 8620 carbon steel head and specially engineered grooves. A new face blast exerts friction to boost spin and control across a significantly enlarged range of lofts and sole grinds to compliment your game.

Herron still trusts his old Ping Cadence T.R. putter. It comes with Ping’s True Roll insert that gives you superior speed control. 

Final Remarks

Born in a golf-loving family, Tim Herron fell in love with golf at an early age, and that admiration made him incredibly wealthy. Tim Herron’s net worth will continue to go up since he is still playing, but perhaps he has left behind his biggest paydays.
