Hey there, golf nuts! It’s Linda, your favorite San Diego slice machine, back with another deep dive into the world of golf. Today, we’re talking about the clubs that Tiger Woods is swinging in 2024. Because let’s face it, we all want to know what the GOAT is using, even if it won’t magically fix our own golf games. (Trust me, I’ve tried.)
The Tiger Woods Equipment Saga
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let’s take a moment to appreciate the equipment journey of Tiger Woods. This guy has been through more club changes than I’ve had hot dinners. From his Nike days to his current TaylorMade love affair, Tiger’s been swinging some serious hardware.
And here’s a fun fact: Tiger actually helps design the clubs he uses. Meanwhile, I can barely decide which end of the club to hold. But I digress. Let’s dive into what’s actually in the bag of the man, the myth, the legend in 2024.
Driver: The Big Stick
What’s in the bag: TaylorMade Qi10 LS (10.5 degrees)
Shaft: Graphite Design Tour AD VF 6 X
Ah, the driver. The club that makes us feel like gods or fools, often on the same hole. Tiger’s wielding the TaylorMade Qi10 LS this year, which sounds more like a fancy sports car than a golf club. But hey, when you’re Tiger Woods, your driver probably should sound like a luxury vehicle.
Fun fact: Tiger has his driver set to the draw setting. Because apparently, even the GOAT needs a little help avoiding the right side of the fairway. Makes me feel a bit better about my slice, to be honest.
Fairway Woods: The Faithful Followers
3-wood: TaylorMade SIM Ti (15 degrees, set to 14.25°)
5-wood: TaylorMade M3 (19 degrees, set to 18.25°)
Shafts: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80 TX
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Tiger’s not exactly rushing to upgrade his fairway woods. He’s still rocking the SIM Ti 3-wood from 2020 and an M3 5-wood from… wait for it… 2018! Talk about “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
I, on the other hand, change my fairway woods more often than I change my socks. Hasn’t improved my game, but at least I always have an excuse for that topped 3-wood shot.
Irons: The Butter Knives
2-3 iron: TaylorMade P770
4-PW: TaylorMade P7TW
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100
Ah, the irons. Where mere mortals like us pray for forgiveness, Tiger demands precision. His P7TW irons are basically butter knives with golf grips. They’re so sleek, I’m pretty sure you could serve a steak dinner off them.
And let’s talk about that 2-iron for a second. Tiger occasionally swaps out his 5-wood for a P770 2-iron when he needs to hit those famous Tiger stingers. You know, those low, penetrating shots that make the rest of us wonder if we’re even playing the same sport.
Wedges: The Magic Wands
56 and 60 degrees: TaylorMade MG4 (TW grind)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400
Tiger’s wedge game is tighter than my budget after a trip to the pro shop. He’s currently gaming two TaylorMade MG4 wedges in the TW grind. Because of course Tiger has his own grind. The rest of us are out here just trying to avoid chunking our wedge shots, and Tiger’s got a custom grind named after him. #goals
Putter: The Old Faithful
Putter: Scotty Cameron GSS Newport 2
Grip: Ping PP58 (blacked out)
Now we come to the pièce de résistance, the club that’s won Tiger more majors than I’ve had pars: his trusty Scotty Cameron. This putter has been with Tiger longer than most marriages last in Hollywood. It’s seen more action than a Las Vegas casino on a Saturday night.
Fun fact: Tiger has back-up versions of this putter, one of which sold for $44,000 at auction. I’m pretty sure my entire set of clubs isn’t worth that much, even if I threw in my car for good measure.
Ball: The Sphere of Destiny
Ball: Bridgestone Tour B X (2024 version)
Tiger’s been a Bridgestone man since Nike stopped making golf balls, and he’s currently playing the 2024 Tour B X. Rumor has it, this ball flies 10 yards further for Tiger than his previous model.
Great. As if Tiger needed help hitting it further. Meanwhile, I’m over here still trying to figure out how to keep my ball in the same zip code as the fairway.
Apparel: The Tiger Stripes
Apparel and Shoes: Sun Day Red
In a plot twist that shocked approximately no one, Tiger parted ways with Nike after 27 years and launched his own brand, Sun Day Red, in 2024. Because when you’re Tiger Woods, why wear someone else’s clothes when you can wear your own?
The 19th Hole Wisdom
So there you have it, folks. The clubs that Tiger Woods is using to make golf courses tremble in 2024. Will using these clubs make you play like Tiger? Absolutely not. But will it give you something to talk about at the 19th hole? You bet your last bogey it will.
Remember, it’s not about the clubs in your bag, it’s about how you use them. Unless you’re Tiger Woods, in which case it’s about both. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go explain to my husband why I suddenly need a $44,000 putter.
May your drives be long, your putts be true, and your excuses for that quadruple bogey be ever-creative!
