This 7 is a little piece of heaven
Vilips says his TaylorMade Qi10 7-wood is his favourite club. He praises it for its versatility, noting that he can use it to hit anything from high cuts off the turf to low fades from the tee. As for distance, he typically flies it in the 230-metre range.
Left a mark
While born in Jakarta in Indonesia, Vilips spent much of his youth in Australia, taking on the nickname “Koala Karl”.
Pure protein
Many tour players gnaw on beef jerky during their rounds, but Vilips favours this air-dried, grass-fed beef snack.
Putter test
Vilips gave the zero-torque trend a try with this TaylorMade Spider ZT, but was back with his Spider Tour by late 2025.
All dressed up
Sun Day Red founder Tiger Woods made Vilips the first PGA Tour ambassador for his new apparel brand.
