Okay, let’s talk about Patrick Cantlay’s bag. I got curious myself, figured I’d dig into what he’s actually carrying right now. You know how it is, you see a guy play well consistently, you start wondering about the tools he’s using.
My Process: Figuring Out the Gear
So, I started by looking through photos from his recent tournaments. You can usually pick out the main clubs pretty easily that way. The driver, the putter, maybe the irons if you get a good angle. Then, I checked a couple of the usual golf gear spots online, the ones that track this stuff. Sometimes the info varies a bit, maybe an older setup is listed, so I tried to cross-reference what I was seeing in recent pictures with the latest reports. Took a bit of time just comparing notes, making sure things lined up from different sources.
It’s not always straightforward. Sometimes they swap out a wedge or a fairway wood depending on the course. I focused on what seems to be his standard setup for most weeks lately. Had to squint at a few pictures to try and confirm the shafts, but you can only get so much detail from afar.
Here’s What I Pieced Together
After poking around and comparing, this is the list I compiled. Seems pretty consistent with what he’s been playing:
- Driver: Looks like he’s sticking with the Titleist TSR2. Shaft details can be tricky, but it’s likely something stout.
- Fairway Woods: Usually carries a Titleist 915 F 3-wood. That’s an older model, interesting he keeps that one in play. Also seen him with a Titleist TS2 5-wood sometimes, but the 3-wood seems constant.
- Irons: He plays Titleist irons, mostly the 718 AP2 model from what I can tell, running from the 4-iron down through the 9-iron. Classic look.
- Wedges: Titleist Vokey wedges, naturally. Usually carries three – SM9 models, I think. The lofts might change week to week, but generally around 46, 52, 56 degrees, plus a Vokey WedgeWorks prototype for his lob wedge, maybe around 60 or 61 degrees.
- Putter: This one’s pretty well known. It’s that Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5 prototype mallet. He’s been using that shape for a while now.
- Ball: Titleist Pro V1x. No surprise there, really.
So that’s the rundown based on my digging. It’s always interesting to see what these top guys rely on. Cantlay doesn’t seem to change his gear drastically very often, kind of a testament to finding what works and sticking with it. Just wanted to share what I found after spending some time looking into it.
