Scottie Scheffler's WITB at The Sentry 2024 explored
All indications are that Scottie Scheffler plans for the 2024 season to be an extension of the previous one, in terms of its results and in terms of everything else that influences this. The contents of his bag are no exception.
On the sporting side, Scottie Scheffler bid farewell to 2023 by winning the Hero World Challenge and kicked off 2024 with an excellent first round at The Sentry. As for his purse, the news at the start of the season was the extension of his sponsorship contract with TaylorMade.
Naturally, Scottie Scheffler's main sponsor's equipment occupies starring roles in his bag. However, the top-ranked golfer also "treats himself" with clubs from other manufacturers.
Scottie Scheffler's bag is composed of:
- Driver: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus (8 degrees) with Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X shaft
- 3-wood: TaylorMade Stealth 2 (15 degrees) with Fujikura Ventus Black 8 X shaft
- Irons: Srixon ZU85 (3 and 4) and TaylorMade P7TW (5 to PW), with Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 Hybrid Prototype 10 X and True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts
- Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM8 (50-12F, 56-14F) and Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks Proto (60-06K), with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts
- Putter: Logan Olson prototype
- Grips: Golf Pride Tour Velvet
- Ball: Titleist Pro V1.
Given his enormous quality and media exposure, Scottie Scheffler regularly receives super-exclusive clubs before they are released to the market. Such has been the case, for example, with his TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus driver and his Logan Olson prototype putter.
