Cameron Young WITB

Cameron Young is one of the longest, most powerful players on the PGA Tour, and he plays a near-complete Titleist setup topped with one of the most interesting long games in golf. His 2026 what-is-in-the-bag, the same gear behind his breakthrough Players Championship win, mixes a new driver, a mini driver, prototype irons and a prototype ball. Below is his verified bag, club by club, followed by the story behind the key gear.

The story behind Cameron Young's bag

Young's bag stands out for how loaded the top of it is. Rather than a single 3-wood, he carries a driver, a mini driver and multiple fairway woods, giving a huge hitter plenty of controllable options off the tee. The rest of the bag is a fitter's dream of Titleist gear: prototype irons built for him, a full Vokey wedge setup and a prototype low-flying ball. It is a highly personalized setup that shows how a power player tames his own length.

Recent changes for 2026

Young refreshed his long game for 2026, moving from the Titleist GT2 driver up to the more workable GT3, and introducing a Titleist GT1 fairway and a GTS3 7-wood through the season. For the more forgiving driver in the same family, see our Titleist GT2 driver review. The irons and wedges stayed largely the same, a targeted update focused on the clubs that gain him the most.

Driver, mini driver and fairway woods

Young games the Titleist GT3 driver, an 11-degree head cranked down to about 10.25 degrees, with a Mitsubishi Diamana PD 60 TX shaft. The standout is his Titleist GT280+ mini driver at around 13 degrees, a controllable tee club he uses on tighter holes, and he backs both with a Titleist GT1 fairway at 14.5 degrees and a GTS3 7-wood added during 2026 for high, soft-landing long approaches. It is a top-of-bag setup built to give a big hitter options rather than raw distance alone.

Irons

Young plays a combo iron set: a Titleist T200 in the 4-iron for extra distance and forgiveness, a T100 in the 5-iron, then Titleist 631.CY Prototype blades from the 6-iron through 9-iron, all on heavy True Temper Dynamic Gold X7 shafts. For the everyday version of his long-iron choice, see our Titleist T200 irons review. Blending a distance long iron into prototype blades is a classic elite-player combo that only a top ball striker can fully use.

Wedges

Around the greens Young plays four Titleist Vokey wedges: SM11 models in 48, 52 and 56 degrees, with the 56 bent to 57, plus a Vokey WedgeWorks 60 degree bent to 62 for his highest, softest greenside shots. Bending wedges a degree or two to fine-tune gapping and bounce is common among the best players, and Young's tight loft progression keeps his scoring clubs evenly spaced.

Putter

On the greens Young uses a Scotty Cameron Phantom 9.5R Tour Prototype, a high-MOI mallet built to his specifications rather than a retail model. A player of his caliber often games a one-off proto dialed in to his exact stroke and eye, and the stable Phantom mallet suits his aggressive, athletic game.

Golf ball

Young plays the Titleist Pro V1x Double Dot, a prototype version of the Pro V1x that flies lower than the standard model, which suits his high, powerful ball flight. For the retail ball it is based on, see our Titleist Pro V1x review for how it performs for the rest of us.

What you can learn from Young's setup

The idea to borrow from Young is his flexible top of the bag: a mini driver and lofted fairway woods give a big hitter controllable options that a single hard-to-hit 3-wood cannot. His prototype irons and low-flying ball are elite, personalized touches most amateurs will not need, but the principle of fitting the ball flight to your own game is sound. His even wedge gapping is also worth copying, as tightly spaced lofts remove awkward in-between distances.
