How Tiger Woods Sets Up His Bag

Tiger still builds his bag from the green backwards: the putter and ball rarely change, while the top end evolves to match modern course setups. The driver and fairway woods are tuned for a penetrating, low-spin flight with a narrow window he can hit over and over. From the 3-iron down he refuses to give up precision, relying on traditional lofts and compact heads that reward centered strikes and punish anything sloppy.

Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 LS (9.75°)

Tiger’s driver is the 2024 TaylorMade Qi10 LS, the low-spin head in the Qi10 family. He pairs it with a Graphite Design Tour AD VF-6 TX shaft, built to keep spin and launch down while still letting him turn the ball both ways. The settings are tweaked so he can hit his trademark flat, piercing tee shots without losing carry when he steps on it.

• Head – TaylorMade Qi10 LS driver (10.5° head)
• Loft – Around 9.75° effective loft, opened slightly
• Typical flight – Penetrating, low-spin tee ball he can curve either way and flight down when he wants the “stinger” driver

Fairway Woods & Hybrid

At the top of the bag Tiger leans on a strong-lofted 3-wood and a classic 5-wood instead of hybrids. The Qi10 Tour 3-wood gives him a backup tee club on tight holes, while the older M3 5-wood slots perfectly into the gap between the 3-wood and long irons. Both are built to launch from the fairway but still hold up under his aggressive, down-the-line move.

• 3-Wood – TaylorMade Qi10 Tour 3-wood (13.5°, Graphite Design Tour AD VF-8 TX)
• Additional Fairway/Hybrid – TaylorMade M3 5-wood (18.25°, Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80TX); often paired with a P·770 3-iron instead of a true hybrid

Irons: TaylorMade P·770 & P·7TW

Tiger still plays one of the most demanding iron setups in professional golf. A slightly more forgiving P·770 3-iron gives him a bit of help at the long end, but from 4-iron down he’s in his personal P·7TW blades with traditional lofts and razor-thin toplines. They’re built for exact start lines, precise trajectory windows and the ability to take spin off or add it on command.

• Long Iron(s) – 3-iron: TaylorMade P·770 (21.5°, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100)
• Scoring Irons – 4–PW: TaylorMade P·7TW Tiger-spec blades (True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100)

Wedges: TaylorMade MG4 Tiger Woods Grinds

From 50 yards and in, Tiger relies on custom-ground TaylorMade MG4 TW wedges. The 56° and 60° wedges have unique soles inspired by the grinds he used through his prime, with extra heel and trailing-edge relief so he can change face angle without the leading edge jumping off the turf. Combined with his P·7TW pitching wedge, it’s essentially a three-wedge system built around precise launch and spin control.

• Wedge 1 – Pitching wedge: TaylorMade P·7TW (around 49°) used as his gap wedge
• Wedge 2 – Sand wedge: TaylorMade MG4 TW 56°-12 (Tiger grind, Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400)
• Wedge 3 – Lob wedge: TaylorMade MG4 TW 60°-11 (Tiger grind, Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400)
• Wedge 4 – Typically no dedicated fourth specialist wedge – he covers the remaining yardages with trajectory and face control

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS Prototype

The putter is the most famous single club in Tiger’s bag: a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS prototype he’s used for the vast majority of his 15 major wins. The head is a classic plumber’s-neck blade with his preferred sight line and a feel he knows down to the millimeter. When it’s working, he can control start line and speed instinctively on fast, sloping greens.

• Putter – Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS prototype blade

Golf Ball: Bridgestone Tour B X (2024)

Tiger’s ball is the 2024 Bridgestone Tour B X, a firmer, lower-spin tour ball built for high-speed players. It lets him keep driver spin down while still generating plenty of check into firm, fast greens with his wedges. The cover is engineered to feel crisp off the putter yet grab the grooves on partial shots, which matches the way he flights so many mid- and short-irons in low, spinning windows.

• Ball – Bridgestone Tour B X (2024)

His irons are a combination of a slightly more forgiving TaylorMade P·770 3-iron and a traditional set of P·7TW blades from 4-iron through pitching wedge. The heads are compact, with narrow soles and thin toplines, built for players who consistently find the center of the face.

What wedges are in Tiger Woods’ bag?

Tiger plays a three-wedge system built around his P·7TW pitching wedge and two TaylorMade MG4 TW grinds in 56° and 60°. The soles are heavily customized so he can open or close the face on demand while keeping the leading edge low to the turf.

What golf ball does Tiger Woods use?

He trusts the Bridgestone Tour B X, a firmer, lower-spin ball that keeps driver spin under control while still giving him tons of spin and stopping power on wedges and short irons. It’s designed specifically for high-speed swings like his.

Should I copy Tiger Woods’ exact specs?

Almost nobody should copy Tiger Woods’ exact specs — his bag is built for a hall-of-fame swing, traditional lofts and a very specific, down-the-line release. Use this WITB as a roadmap, not a strict blueprint. The smarter play is to stay in the same TaylorMade and Bridgestone families and then: visit the Tiger Woods Setup Lab , match your 9-iron distance with the 9-iron Distance to Swing Speed Guide and finish with Ball Lab and the Wedge Lab to tune your ball and wedges.
