WITB: What’s in Rory McIlroy’s bag?

Rory McIlroy turned pro in 2007 and joined the PGA Tour in 2010. The former world No.1 has won on his last two starts on the PGA Tour, including a victory at the Wells Fargo Championship. But what clubs does he use? Here’s the full Rory McIlroy WITB rundown…

What’s in Rory McIlroy’s bag?

McIlroy’s biggest sticking point throughout his career has been his putter. He has played around with this a lot in recent years, switching from his TaylorMade Spider X Hydro Blast putter to the Scotty Cameron T-5.5 Proto and then back to the trusty Spider.

He likes to mix things up in the links season, too. In 2023, for example, he swapped out his TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus 5-wood for the Stealth UDI and P760 2-iron, so expect to see him do something similar this year. 

At the top of the bag, McIlroy is another TaylorMade player who is joining the Mini Driver craze. Below his driver, McIlroy has put the TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver in the bag. This is a 13.5° model, which sits nicely between his driver and 5-wood.

However, most recently, McIlroy was once again using a conventional 3-wood in his bag. That club was in play at the Wells Fargo Championship, where it clearly worked for him.

Next up for Rory McIlroy is the PGA Championship at Valhalla, where he’ll be looking to add a fifth major championship to his record.

Here’s the full rundown on Rory McIlroy’s what’s in the bag, the clubs we’re expecting him to use at the PGA Championship.
