Matt Fitzpatrick WITB 2026: The Valspar Champion
As a professional golfer, Matt Fitzpatrick is a free agent, allowing him to assemble one of the most diverse equipment setups on tour. While not known for frequent gear changes, his 2026 bag features an eclectic mix of clubs, which contributed to his third PGA Tour victory at the Valspar Championship, following a second-place finish at The Players the previous week.
Matt Fitzpatrick incorporates a blend of Titleist, TaylorMade, and Ping equipment in his bag. For 2026, his setup includes a Titleist GT3 driver, complemented by TaylorMade Qi35 3-wood and 5-wood fairway woods. He occasionally adds a 7-wood depending on course conditions. The US Open champion recently returned to Ping S55 irons, having previously used Titleist T100s. He also includes Ping i210 3- and 4-irons. Titleist Vokey wedges fill out the lower end of his bag, and a Bettinardi putter completes the ensemble for this three-time PGA Tour and ten-time European Tour winner. He consistently plays with the Titleist Pro V1x golf ball.
