                                <p>Lucy Li has been known to golf fans for many years, having qualified for the 2014 US Women’s Open when she was just 11, becoming the youngest player to achieve it in the tournament’s history.   </p><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/FC0vmsLe.html" id="FC0vmsLe" title="10 Things You Didn't Know About The AIG Women's Open" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>Fast-forward 12 years, and after 54 holes of the 2026 AIG Women’s Open, she was making her name at a Major again, tied for second on the leaderboard, three shots behind leader <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/features/the-game/7-things-you-didnt-know-about-yealimi-noh-242305">Yealimi Noh</a>. </p><p>Li’s enviable position on the leaderboard with just 18 holes to play perhaps isn’t too surprising, because despite still only being 23, she has plenty of experience of big events and is in her seventh year as a pro.</p><p>Along the way, she has won twice, while she has had strong finishes at other Majors, including T12 at the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. </p><p>During her professional career, Li has worked with caddies including Bryan Bush and John Pavelko. However, for the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/courses/top-100-courses/royal-lytham-and-st-annes-golf-club-course-review-60456">Royal Lytham & St Annes</a> edition of the AIG Women's Open, her caddie was someone with solid experience of the tournament – Paul Drummond.</p><p>Drummond was born in Scotland, close to two-time host venue of the AIG Women’s Open, <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/courses/top-100-courses/carnoustie-championship-course-review-60445">Carnoustie</a>. Indeed, it was during the 2021 edition of the AIG Women's Open at Carnoustie that he caddied for LPGA Tour legend Lexi Thompson. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.24%;"><img id="B3ss3z4MHgjQ2cjc3JjkRA" name="Thompson-1234788738" alt="Lexi Thompson and her caddie" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/B3ss3z4MHgjQ2cjc3JjkRA.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2500" height="1406" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Paul Drummond caddied for Lexi Thompson   </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Drummond worked as a club caddie at Carnoustie for 16 years, and that knowledge of the course clearly helped, as Thompson was T4 after three rounds and firmly in contention for her second Major title, before finishing in a tie for 20th. </p><p>Following his spell helping Thompson, Drummond turned to DP World Tour player Dan Bradbury. After that, he returned to the LPGA Tour scene, assisting Nicole Broch Estrup and Olivia Cowan before linking up with LI, setting the wheels in motion for their shot at AIG Women's Open glory.</p>

                                <p>Patrick Cantlay has enjoyed a successful PGA Tour career, with the American claiming significant titles, including the FedEx Cup and Tour Championship in 2021.</p><p>A multiple-time Ryder Cup player, <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/tour/patrick-cantlay-golfer-bio-facts-wins">Cantlay</a> had previously been a Titleist staffer but, a few years ago, became an equipment-free agent. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1600px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="5MMoi7UrB5LgrzCPvCe5Jg" name="Cantlay-GettyImages-2283269861" alt="Patrick Cantlay hits a driver off the tee" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5MMoi7UrB5LgrzCPvCe5Jg.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1600" height="900" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Despite being an equipment-free agent, Cantlay still uses a Titleist heavy set-up, albeit older models than we are used to seeing.</p><p>At the top order of the bag you will find a <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/drivers/titleist-gts4-driver-review-the-low-spin-specialist-goes-mainstream">Titleist GTS4 driver</a>, which has a 9° head and a Mitsubishi Diamana ZF 60 TX shaft. </p><p>In terms of <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-fairway-woods-137799">fairway woods</a>, this is where the oldest clubs in the set-up feature, as a Titleist 915F 3-wood and Titleist TS2 7-wood are present.</p><p>The 915F was released at the end of 2014, while the TS2 came out in 2018.

After leaving the amateur game behind, he spent a season on the Asian Development Tour in 2015, where he achieved a best finish of eighth. </p><p>Around that time, though, Ekenberg's career took a different direction when he crossed paths with <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/tour/alison-lee-golfer-facts-bio-wins">Alison Lee</a> at the 2015 CME Group Tour Championship.</p><p>That meeting led to Ekenberg becoming Lee’s full-time caddie.

                                <p>Haeran Ryu has made a big impression in her time on the LPGA Tour, which began in 2023 after she won the LPGA Tour Q Series.  </p><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/dNfQcSdB.html" id="dNfQcSdB" title="10 Things You Didn't Know About AIG Women's Open" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>That breakthrough came after a successful spell on the LPGA of Korea, which included five wins. </p><p>Ahead of the 2026 AIG Women’s Open, Ryu already had the same number of victories on the LPGA Tour, including two Major titles in the months leading up to the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/courses/top-100-courses/royal-lytham-and-st-annes-golf-club-course-review-60456">Royal Lytham & St Annes</a> tournament. </p><p>The first came at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, where she beat fellow South Korean Ina Yoon by two at Hazeltine, before she saw off <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/live/evian-championship-leaderboard-live-updates-2026">Brooke Henderson in a playoff to win the Amundi Evian Championship</a> just two weeks later. </p><p>Ryu’s hot streak continued in the first round of the AIG Women’s Open, where she was jostling for top spot on the leaderboard in her bid for her third Major title in a little over two months. </p><p>Throughout her LPGA Tour career, the caddie who has helped her achieve those successes has been Martin Bozek. </p><p>He certainly brings plenty of experience to the role, having started life on the LPGA Tour in 2012, with one notable stint as the long-term caddie of Eun Hee Ji.</p><p>Bozek’s partnership with the 2009 US Women's Open champion led to him being named the HSBC Caddy of the Year in 2019, a title confirmed at that year's HSBC Women’s World Championship.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.24%;"><img id="rogueKFZP3gdsJgLF93qTC" name="Bozek-1133090001" alt="Eun Hee Ji and caddie Martin Bozek" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rogueKFZP3gdsJgLF93qTC.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2500" height="1406" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Martin Bozek was named the 2019 HSBC Caddy of the Year </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>When he was presented with his bib commemorating the achievement, Ji praised her caddie, saying: “He’s the best. He’s just the best at everything.” </p><p>Bozek, who has also caddied for players including <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/features/the-game/things-you-didnt-know-about-danielle-kang-234775">Danielle Kang</a> and Dawie van der Walt on the Korn Ferry Tour, seems to have made a similar impression on Ryu. </p><p>An example of the pair's close working relationship came with the LPGA Tour's Caddie Knows Best video series. It saw Bozek holding up pre-written answers to questions about Ryu. To her delight, he didn't put a foot wrong.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLTkBlVudpT/" target="_blank">A post shared by LPGA Tour (@lpga_tour)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Considering the rapport between the pair, combined with Bozek's experience, it's little surprise that they have achieved success together, with the partnership showing every sign of continuing to flourish.</p><p>With Ryu again contending at a Major after her fast start at Royal Lytham & St Annes, the pair had another opportunity to cement what was already one of the most successful player-caddie partnerships on the LPGA Tour.</p>

                                <p>In just his third event as a professional, Jackson Koivun won the 3M Open, beating none other than World No.1 Scottie Scheffler by three. </p><p>Helping him surge to the top of the leaderboard at <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/travel/usa/how-can-i-play-tpc-twin-cities">TPC Twin Cities</a> was his caddie, David Flynn, but who is he?  </p><p>Like former Auburn star Koivun, Illinois-born Flynn played college golf, attending the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. </p><p>After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in history, he took up caddying in 2014, with spells working alongside players including Trey Mullinax, Troy Merritt and Kevin Tway. </p><p>However, it’s working with Koivun where he has really begun making his name. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.24%;"><img id="8juapGDs89aYZr9Lr9pYdV" name="Flynn-1474174613" alt="Kevin Tway" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8juapGDs89aYZr9Lr9pYdV.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2500" height="1406" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">David Flynn has caddied for several other players, including Kevin Tway </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>While Flynn was firmly in the spotlight at the 3M Open, he had been with Koivun for significantly longer. </p><p>Flynn was alongside Koivun during the latter stages of his amateur career, culminating in his <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/jackson-koivun-us-open-gold-medal-ryder-cowan">low amateur finish at the 2026 US Open</a> the day before he turned professional</p><p>With Flynn continuing the good work they started in the amateur game, that familiarity has surely helped him settle into the task.</p><p>In a twist of fate, <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/kurt-kitayama-wins-3m-open">Kurt Kitayama was the defending champion</a> when Koivun was racing to the top of the leaderboard at the 3M Open. </p><p>The two-time PGA Tour winner was a teammate of Flynn’s at university and spoke beforehand about getting the chance to catch up with him. </p><p>He said: “We went to school together. Should be fun. It’s fun, he'll be walking around the course when we're playing a practice round, hang out, so looking forward to it.”</p><p>Flynn isn’t just a caddie, either. He has also used the experience he has gained working alongside some of the world’s best to become teaching golf, specifically as an instructor with PARennial Golf.  </p>

                                <p>The 2026 Open featured some surprise names near the top of the leaderboard over the first two rounds. </p><p>One was <a

took his place following a brilliant 62 in the second round at <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/features/my-3-key-takeaways-from-a-round-at-royal-birkdale-ahead-of-the-2026-open">Royal

though.</p><p>Herbert has been a professional for 11 years, but the groundwork was laid well before he left the amateur game behind in 2015.</p><p>The 30-year-old was born near Victoria, Australia, and it didn’t take him long to develop a fascination with the game, picking up his first club at the age of three before going on to play junior golf at Neangar Park Golf Club and Commonwealth Golf Club. </p><p>One of the highlights of his amateur career came just a year before he turned pro, when he represented his country in the Eisenhower Trophy. </p><p>There, he finished with the joint-second-best individual score, three strokes behind none other than Jon Rahm. </p><p>All the signs were that Herbert was set for a solid career in the game, and so it has proved.  </p><figure

Along with the head, Smyth pairs the driver with a Fujikura Ventus Blue TR 6 X shaft.</p><p>In terms of fairway woods, Smyth tweaks this area of the bag regularly. He carries a mini driver, which replaces the 3-wood some weeks, whilst he also uses a 3-hybrid that replaces a 7-wood.</p><p>His mini driver of choice a <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/new-prototype-ping-mini-driver-spotted-on-usga-conforming-list">Ping Prototype</a>, while his 3-wood is a <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/fairways/ping-g440-max-fairway-wood-review">G440 Max</a>. In terms of his hybrid, which Smyth calls "one of his favorite clubs in the bag," that's a standard G430, while his 7-wood is another G440 Max.</p><p>According to Smyth: "I love the mini driver, but it's not the easiest to get off the ground, compared to the regular 3-wood. </p><p>"If it's a course where there's par 5s, and I need the 3-wood to hit the greens, then I'll keep that in the bag as it's much easier to hit off different lies."</p><p>Shaft-wise, he uses a mix of Fujikura Ventus Blue and Black models.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1600px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="NfKijbcATnqqphckvU9NcJ" name="Smyth-GettyImages-2276395017" alt="Travis Smyth hits a driver off the tee" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NfKijbcATnqqphckvU9NcJ.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1600" height="900" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Moving to the irons, where Smyth uses a <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/irons/ping-idi-utility-iron-review">Ping iDi utility iron</a>, but in a 4-iron configuration.</p><p>Providing a strong amount of forgiveness, Smyth then uses <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/irons/ping-blueprint-s-iron-review">Ping Blueprint S</a> from 5-iron to pitching wedge, with the set one of the best Ping irons money can buy.</p><p>He did previously use the Blueprint T in 7-iron to pitching wedge, but changed the set-up last year, due to the fact that the Blueprint S were easier and more forgiving to hit.</p><p>"I've always used the latest equipment from Ping, as it has always been a very easy transition," explains Smyth, who uses <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/wedges/ping-s259-wedge-review">Ping s259 wedges</a> in a 50°, 55° and 60° configuration.</p><p>"I've got them in a raw finish.

                                <p>In 2017, Branden Grace made history when he became <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/which-golfers-62-in-mens-majors">the first man to shoot a 62 at a Major</a>, with his third round at The Open Championship including eight birdies and 10 pars.</p><p>Claiming 15 wins worldwide over four different circuits, the South African has enjoyed a fine career over the last two decades, with Grace using a traditional set-up to do so.</p><p>An equipment-free agent, Grace sat down with Golf Monthly to explain what's in the bag and you can check out the video below...</p><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/OCeMuw0p.html" id="OCeMuw0p" title="Brandon Grace WITB - 2026 Season" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>At the top end of the bag, Grace uses a TaylorMade driver, 3-wood and 7-wood, with the driver and 3-wood being the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/why-taylormade-qi4d-could-be-the-hottest-product-launch-this-decade">Qi4D</a>, while the 7-wood is the slightly older Qi35.</p><p>The driver features in an 8° loft and has a UST Mamiya Lin-Q shaft in it, specifically a PowerCore White 6 X. The shaft is a new addition to Grace's bag, and was put in-play around May 2026.</p><p>Moving to the fairway woods, with the 3-wood set at 15° and the 7-wood at 21°. Both models are among the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-taylormade-fairway-woods-164262">best TaylorMade fairway woods</a> money can buy, and both are used by many notable names.</p><p>For Grace, the move to TaylorMade fairway woods came in 2025, with the 38-year-old explaining why he still has the older <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/fairways/i-didnt-think-the-perfect-golf-club-existed-until-i-hit-this-one">Qi35 </a>in-play, stating: "I just like the look of it and the feel of it.</p><p>"I feel, with a 7-wood, especially par 5s and longer par 4s, I can get the ball more higher and landing more softer. I almost call it the cheating club because it's so easy to hit."</p><p>Revealing the move to the Qi4D was an easy transition, hitting a few shots and putting it straight in the bag, his 3-wood and 7-wood possess Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X shafts. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1600px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="cniZqJJiMfNUJdwLxDRNaW" name="Grace-GettyImages-2283412309" alt="Branden Grace hits a driver off the tee" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cniZqJJiMfNUJdwLxDRNaW.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1600" height="900" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>In terms of irons and wedges, Grace uses <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/low-handicapper-youre-going-to-want-to-check-out-the-new-callaway-x-forged-irons">Callaway X Forged</a> from 4-iron all the way down to sand wedge. </p><p>Grace states: "Throughout my whole career I've enjoyed having the irons and the wedges the same for feel. A lot of guys will use Callaway irons and Titleist wedges, or TaylorMade and Titleist etc.</p><p>"I just feel that the feel is very different, so I'm always trying to keep it the same."</p><p>The X Forged wedges are a new addition to the bag, as are the X Forged irons, where Grace previously used the 2013 version of them. </p><p>Introducing the new irons in 2025, the one aspect that has remained the same is the shaft, with the South African using a Project X 6.5. "I like the feel and like the flight it gives me," he explains.</p><p>"I don't like to tinker a lot with the irons and wedges, but I have tinkered with the woods."</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1600px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="XxmWoLEJikEXaYTqyezUYf" name="Grace-GettyImages-2272100367" alt="Branden Grace hits an iron shot" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XxmWoLEJikEXaYTqyezUYf.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1600" height="900" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Although Grace has put in the Forged X wedges in a 52° and 56°, he continues to use the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/wedges/callaway-jaws-md5-wedge-review">Callaway Jaws </a>lob wedge in a 60°.</p><p>A few years older than the Forged X, Grace states: "It's one that I feel very comfortable in and I'm struggling to change it. </p><p>"I am on my second to last Jaws wedge, though, as they've stopped making these, so I'm taking the process a little slower, in terms of practicing with it."</p><p>Returning back to TaylorMade, Grace's final club in the bag is a Spider Tour putter, specifically a broomstick model that was put in-play a few years ago.</p><p>Putting it in the bag at the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/taichi-kho-international-series-morocco-victory-bubba-watson">International Series Morocco</a>, the former Presidents Cup player explained that: "I wanted to put something (in the bag) that had a quicker feel off the face.

"The new wedge is getting there, but it doesn't have the old school feel, so it takes me a while to put in a new lob wedge."</p><p>Shaft-wise, you'll find the same True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 in-play.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-putter"><span>Putter</span></h3><figure role="gallery"><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bVGR74b8BNBgxpFv9Vd6Kc.jpg" alt="Bubba Watson lines-up a putt" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Getty Images</small></figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nEi78JDUQfyFZTnsSMZwZf.jpg" alt="A close up Bubba Watson's putter and yardage book" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Getty Images</small></figcaption></figure></figure><p>The final club in Watson's bag is the putter, specifically a Ping Tyne H, a mallet-fang design which has been in the set-up for around a year to 18 months.</p><p>"I've always hit putts short and not put enough pace on them," explained Watson. "I wanted to go to a heavier head so that the ball would roll out a bit better. I let (Ping's) engineers give me a putter that would help me get the ball to roll a little bit further."</p><p>In fact, speaking at LIV Golf UK in 2025, <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/bubba-watson-putter-caddie-change-liv-golf-uk">Watson revealed that part of the inspiration for a putter change</a> came from fellow Range Goats GC player, Peter Uihlein, who said that Watson should work on a consistent putting stroke.</p><p>Speaking at JCB Golf & Country Club, Watson stated: "He (Uihlein) told me a couple things to do, a couple of training aids, a couple of different things to use. Then I went back to the Ping engineers and asked them what kind of putter do I need.</p><p>"I need something that can hit it harder but also keep the ball on line if you mis-hit it. So we went to a mallet. I got a mallet, a Tyne putter, and it's working so far."</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-golf-ball"><span>Golf Ball</span></h3><figure role="gallery"><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Te37xbCW99CiLv7T6kaRKN.jpg" alt="Bubba Watson waves to the crowd after holing a putt" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Getty Images</small></figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KxavxL6z37fUUcbuhyAsoA.png" alt="A box of Titleist Pro V1x golf balls" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Future</small></figcaption></figure></figure><p>Rounding out Watson's WITB is the golf ball, where he uses the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/balls/titleist-2025-pro-v1x-golf-ball-review">Titleist Pro V1x</a>, arguably the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-golf-balls-69287">best golf ball </a>money can buy.</p><p>"I'm not good enough to tell the difference," explains Watson.

Meanwhile, Lawfield has supported Suber at some of his events, including the 2023 Veritex Bank Championship, when he was still on the Korn Ferry Tour.  </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrLq-ljOzzL/" target="_blank">A post shared by Jackson Suber (@jacksonsuber)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>In February 2026, Suber was ready to pop the question, with the star posting a photograph on his Instagram account of him getting down on one knee – an image that drew congratulations from the likes of fellow PGA Tour pro <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/tour/things-you-didnt-know-about-will-zalatoris">Will Zalatoris</a> and the account of his former college. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU0nQxokebI/" target="_blank">A post shared by Jackson Suber (@jacksonsuber)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>With Suber’s life thriving away from the course, it also continues to soar on it, most notably at the 2026 RBC Canadian Open. There, he held the 54-hole lead at TPC Toronto on the way to a T4 placing. </p><p>While he narrowly missed out on the biggest moment of his professional career, it was the latest sign that he is thriving on the PGA Tour just as he is away from golf thanks to his relationship with his fiancée.</p>

                                <p>Jackson Suber has made an encouraging start to his PGA Tour career. </p><p>After earning his PGA Tour card via the Korn Ferry Tour in 2025, he produced several excellent performances in his rookie year before following that up with more in 2026. </p><p>Suber's first top-20 finish of that year came at the ONEflight <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/myrtle-beach-classic-prize-money-payout-2026">Myrtle Beach Classic </a>with a T19, while it got even better for the former University of Mississippi player in his next start, where he finished fourth at the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/cj-cup-byron-nelson-prize-money-payout-2026">CJ Cup Byron Nelson</a>. </p><p>Alongside him for those successes has been his caddie, Greyson Porter, who also has a strong background as a player.</p><p>Porter fell in love with the game at an early age, chipping balls in his backyard with his dad. </p><p>That love took him a long way, with a college career at Florida State on his way to majoring in finance. </p><p>Following that, Porter, who counts Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy among his idols, joined the PGA Tour Canada. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.28%;"><img id="oSSyorYsmZ2VXFeQUNK6Dg" name="Suber-2281441733" alt="Jackson Suber at the RBC Canadian Open" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oSSyorYsmZ2VXFeQUNK6Dg.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2500" height="1407" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Jackson Suber led the RBC Canadian Open after three rounds, with Porter on his bag </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>He played nine times on the circuit in 2022 - the same time Suber competed on the PGA Tour Canada. That included a best finish of T36, before another appearance on the PGA Tour Americas in 2024. </p><p>While Porter's playing ability is apparent, he clearly excels in his latest role as a caddie, too. </p><p>As well as steering Suber to those impressive performances earlier in the 2026 season, it was looking even better for the pair at the RBC Canadian Open, with Suber the 54-hole leader as he closed in on a maiden PGA Tour win. </p><p>In the end, he didn't quite get over the line, but a highly creditable T4 suggested his partnership with Porter has plenty of success ahead of it.  </p>

                                <p>Ben James left a glittering college career at the University of Virginia behind after finishing top of the 2026 PGA Tour University.</p><p>That gave him a PGA Tour card until the end of the 2027 season – not that it was his first experience of the big time.  </p><p>James had already made nine PGA Tour starts as an amateur by that stage, with a best finish of T33 at the 2025 Valero Texas Open suggesting he was more than capable of living up to his billing as a future star. </p><p>Still, clearly James wasn’t leaving anything to chance for his first foray into life as a fully fledged PGA Tour pro, recruiting veteran caddie Tim Tucker for the task at the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/features/rbc-canadian-open-2026-betting-tips">2026 RBC Canadian Open</a> just days after leaving the amateur game behind.</p><p>However, given Tucker’s record, perhaps it wasn’t all that surprising either. </p><p>Famously, Tucker was Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie when he won the 2020 US Open. The pair parted ways the following year (<a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/bryson-dechambeau-back-with-former-caddie-tim-tucker-for-liv-golf-london">although they have linked up again since</a>), but it wasn’t too long until Tucker was working his magic again. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.28%;"><img id="DLofuxEmJztSFuYHziBi9E" name="TuckerDeChambeau-1273770383" alt="Tim Tucker and Bryson DeChambeau with the US Open trophy" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DLofuxEmJztSFuYHziBi9E.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2500" height="1407" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Tim Tucker helped Bryson DeChambeau win the US Open </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>By 2023, he was caddying for Kurt Kitayama, and with his help, he won one of the PGA Tour’s biggest tournaments, the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.</p><p>Among the other players Tucker has worked with are Adam Svensson, Gary Woodland, <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/tour/tony-finau-golfer-facts-bio-wins">Tony Finau</a> and LPGA Tour legend Lexi Thompson, adding to his credentials. </p><p>The benefit of that vast know-how is now assisting a player without the experience of those stars, but with bags of potential.</p><p>Considering how well the pair began in James’ maiden PGA Tour start since joining the professional ranks, it appears Tucker could be the man to help him bring it to fruition.  </p>

                                <p>Rickie Fowler turned professional in 2009 and, since then, has claimed some notable wins, including The Players Championship and the FedEx Cup playoff event of the Deutsche Bank Championship.</p><p>Shortly after turning professional, Fowler signed a multi-year deal with Cobra, using its clubs and wearing <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-puma-golf-shoes-211364">Puma apparel and shoes</a>. </p><p>He joined in 2012 and, in 2025, agreed a long-term extension, with Fowler continuing to use a near full bag of the brand's equipment.</p><p>Driver-wise, Fowler had been using the Cobra Optm LS, but <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/rickie-fowler-tommy-fleetwood-equipment-changes-rbc-heritage">changed to the Optm Max-K at the RBC Heritage in April.</a> Although the head changed, the shaft didn't, as the Mitsubishi Diamana WB 73 TX remained.</p><p>Along with the big stick, the American is a regular user of a mini driver, with Fowler having a <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/drivers/taylormade-brnr-mini-driver-review">TaylorMade BRNR Copper mini driver</a> in-play for a significant amount of time.</p><p>Because of the mini driver, his fairway wood section does tend to chop and change but, at his last start at the PGA Championship, he was using a Cobra King Tec in a 5-wood configuration.</p><p>Set at 18°, the shaft is a prototype UST Mamiya. Little is known about the specs, but it appears to be a Lin Q 80 TX.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:4197px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="mWGpH8AJLtAfupZbhPkZsg" name="GettyImages-2276735114" alt="Rickie Fowler of the United States plays his shot from the fourth tee during the final round of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mWGpH8AJLtAfupZbhPkZsg.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="4197" height="2798" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Iron-wise, Fowler has also played around with different models but, most recently, it appears he has <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/irons/cobra-3dp-x-iron-review">Cobra 3DP</a> RF from 4-iron to pitching wedge.</p><p>A prototype iron, the shaft also changed from the KBS Tour C-Taper to Aerotech SteelFiber i125 CW.</p><p>Because of the more busy top-order of the bag, Fowler has three wedges in-play, which are a mix of a Cobra King 54° and 58°, as well as a 60° Cleveland RTZ Tour Rack.

                                <p>Justin Thomas is one of the most decorated players over the past decade, securing two PGA Championships and 16 PGA Tour titles, including The Players Championship and FedEx Cup.</p><p>Turning professional in 2013, the American has predominantly been a Titleist staffer during that time, using <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-titleist-golf-bags-207618">the brand's golf bags</a>, clubs and balls to much success. </p><p>From custom-made irons, to a fairway wood that was released over a decade ago, Thomas has been using a full Titleist set-up for the majority of his professional career, with his 2026 specs producing some great results.</p><p>At the PGA Championship, Thomas was using the brand-new 9.5° <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/drivers/titleist-gts2-driver-review-high-moi-stability-meets-unfiltered-performance">Titleist GTS2 driver</a> with a Mitsubishi Whiteboard 63 X shaft. The popular model replaced a Titleist TS2, which he had used regularly throughout 2026.</p><p>In the fairway woods, the TS3 has remained in a 3-wood configuration, while the even older Titleist 915 Fd is prominent in a 5-wood set-up.</p><p>The oldest clubs in his bag, Thomas' 3-wood (2018) is set at 15°, while his 5-wood (2014) is 18°. What's more, the TS3 possesses a Mitsubishi AV RAW Blue 85 TX shaft, while the 915 Fd has a Fujikura Motore Speeder VC 9.2 X.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:3348px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="eH9KTCvd3M4WSJbnEqjZoR" name="GettyImages-2275683964" alt="Justin Thomas of the United States tees off at the first tee during round 1 of the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eH9KTCvd3M4WSJbnEqjZoR.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="3348" height="2232" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Moving to the iron portion of Thomas' bag, where the Ryder Cup star has three different Titleist models. These are a <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/irons/titleist-t250-iron-review">T250</a> 4-iron, <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/irons/titleist-2025-t100-iron-review">T100 </a>5-iron and a custom set of 621.JT from 6-iron to 9-iron.</p><p>A similar <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/tour/cameron-young-whats-in-the-bag-2026">set-up to that of Cameron Young</a>, Thomas' custom irons were created in 2022 via his input, with the clubs a traditional muscleback blade with very little offset. They also feature the extremely popular True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.</p><p>Working seamlessly alongside his irons are his wedges, which are the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews/wedges/titleist-vokey-sm11-wedge-review">Titleist Vokey SM11</a>, one of the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-golf-wedges-74080">best wedges</a> money can buy, as well as the Vokey Wedgeworks Proto</p><p>In his set-up, you'll find an SM11 46° that is bent to 47.5°, a 52° bent to 52.5°, a 56° bent to 57°. His 60° is the Wedgeworks Proto, and that is bent to 60.5°, completing the gapping perfectly in the scoring section.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:5892px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="j9LLVLV3YbbK8LJNg6CB3H" name="GettyImages-2276393988" alt="Justin Thomas of the United States lines up a putt with his caddie Matt Minister on the tenth green during the second round of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/j9LLVLV3YbbK8LJNg6CB3H.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="5892" height="3928" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Finishing with the putter, where Thomas has experimented regularly throughout 2026, using a variety of different Scotty Cameron models on the PGA Tour.</p><p>In his last start, it was a Scotty Cameron Phantom 9.5R that made the line-up, with <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/justin-thomas-putter-change-truist-championship-cameron-young-inspiration">Thomas copying Young's specs to create it</a>. He has also used a T-5 Tour-Only blade, as well as a Phantom X 5.5 mallet throughout the year.</p><p>One aspect that hasn't changed, though, is the golf ball, which is the Titleist Pro V1x, one of the <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/best-golf-deals/best-premium-golf-balls-210720">best premium models</a> on the market.
