Collin Morikawa WITB

Collin Morikawa is widely regarded as the best iron player in golf, so his what-is-in-the-bag is essential reading for anyone who cares about ball striking, and one of the most studied equipment setups on the PGA Tour. A TaylorMade staff player, Morikawa games a precise, control-focused setup built around a combo blade iron set, and he is famous for trusting older clubs when they still perform. Below is his verified 2026 bag, club by club, followed by the story behind the key gear.

The story behind Collin Morikawa's bag

Morikawa's bag is all about control and shot shaping, especially his signature cut. He plays a low-spin driver, a hybrid-style long iron and a blended set of cavity-back and blade irons, the kind of setup only a truly elite ball striker can handle. He is also known for loyalty to clubs that work: his 3-wood is a TaylorMade SIM Tour from 2020 that he has kept in the bag through several newer releases, a reminder that trust beats novelty.

Recent bag changes for 2026

Morikawa updated his long game for 2026, moving into the TaylorMade Qi4D LS driver and adding a Qi4D Tour 5-wood, while keeping the older SIM Tour 3-wood and his blade-heavy iron setup. It is a typical Morikawa year on the PGA Tour: he refreshes the equipment that gains him something and leaves the rest alone, which is why his bag changes less than most.

Driver and fairway woods

Morikawa games the TaylorMade Qi4D LS driver at 8 degrees, the low-spin model, with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60 TX shaft that suits his controlled, fade-biased swing. He backs it with that trusty TaylorMade SIM Tour 3-wood at 14 degrees and a newer Qi4D Tour 5-wood at 18 degrees. The mix of old and new fairway woods is pure Morikawa: he changes only when the new club is genuinely better.

Irons

The irons are the heart of the bag. Morikawa carries a TaylorMade PDHY driving hybrid in the 4 slot, TaylorMade P7CB cavity backs in the 5 and 6 irons for a touch of forgiveness, then TaylorMade P730 blades from the 7-iron through pitching wedge for maximum control, all on True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. It is a combo set built to let the best iron player alive flight and shape every approach.

Wedges

Around the greens Morikawa plays TaylorMade MG5 wedges in 50, 56 and 60 degrees, on Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts. It is a compact, three-wedge scoring setup that complements his precise iron play, giving him a full-swing option for every gap inside his pitching wedge. The grips and shafts are matched across the set so every club feels the same in his hands.

Putter

On the greens Morikawa uses a TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet, the same high-MOI model a growing number of elite players trust. The mallet's stability suits a player who relies on a repeatable, mechanical stroke, and it is one of the most popular putter models in professional golf. His grip is a standard tour setup, keeping the putter setup as simple and repeatable as the rest of his equipment.

Golf ball

Morikawa plays the TaylorMade TP5x, the firmer, higher-launching, lower-spinning of TaylorMade's two tour balls, which suits his fast, efficient swing. It is the same ball amateurs can buy; see our TaylorMade TP5x review for how it performs for the rest of us.

What you can learn from Morikawa's setup

Morikawa's bag is a masterclass in control, but the practical lesson for amateurs is his combo iron set: easier long irons blending into blades where you want feel. Most golfers should lean more heavily toward the forgiving end than he does, but the principle of matching each iron to the job is sound. His loyalty to an older 3-wood is also worth copying, do not replace a club that still performs just because a new model launches each year.
