Robert MacIntyre WITB

Robert MacIntyre is a Ryder Cup star and one of the best left-handed players in golf, and he games a mixed Titleist and TaylorMade setup famous for including a fairway wood roughly a decade old. His 2026 what-is-in-the-bag balances new gear with clubs he simply trusts, the mark of a confident, feel-driven player. Below is his verified bag, club by club, followed by the story behind the key gear.

The story behind Robert MacIntyre's bag

MacIntyre's bag is a lesson in trusting what works. The headline is a TaylorMade AeroBurner 3-wood that is around ten years old and that he has kept through countless newer releases, one of the oldest clubs gamed at the top of the sport. Around it sits a Titleist driver, irons, wedges and ball, plus newer TaylorMade woods, a sensible mix from a player who changes gear only when he has to.

Driver and fairway woods

MacIntyre games a Titleist GTS2 driver at 9 degrees with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7 X shaft, from the family covered in our Titleist GT2 driver review. The standout is his TaylorMade AeroBurner 3-wood at 15 degrees, a model roughly a decade old that he refuses to replace, and he has more recently added newer TaylorMade Qi4D fairway woods and a Stealth 2 hybrid to round out the long game.

Irons

MacIntyre plays Titleist 620 CB irons, a compact cavity-back players' iron, on heavy True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. It is a control-focused set that blends a touch of forgiveness into a workable head, suiting an excellent ball striker who wants to flight and shape his approaches while keeping some stability across the set.

Wedges

Around the greens MacIntyre mixes Titleist Vokey generations: an SM10 in 46 degrees, with SM9 models in 50, 56 and 60 degrees. It is a full four-wedge scoring setup with even gapping, and playing a slightly newer pitching wedge alongside older, trusted scoring wedges is another sign of a player who changes only the clubs he wants to.

Putter

On the greens MacIntyre games a custom Scotty Cameron 9.5R with a custom-milled face and a shortened plumber neck to increase toe hang, tuned to his stroke. The added toe hang suits a putting stroke with a little more arc, and the one-off build shows how precisely a tour player fits even the putter to his eye and feel.

Golf ball

MacIntyre plays the Titleist Pro V1x, the firmer, higher-flying of Titleist's two tour balls, having moved to it from the Pro V1. It is the same ball amateurs can buy; see our Titleist Pro V1x review for how it performs for the rest of us.

What you can learn from MacIntyre's setup

The lesson from MacIntyre is that a great club never goes out of date: he keeps a ten-year-old 3-wood simply because it works, and most amateurs would gain from the same patience rather than replacing gear every year. His combo of a trusted old fairway wood, newer woods where they help and a control-focused iron set is a smart, measured way to build a bag, and his four-wedge setup with even gapping is worth copying.
