Gary Woodland What's In The Bag?
A few years ago Gary Woodland signed with Wilson which we believe was a contract to play ten clubs made by the brand, but he appeared to switch to a Cobra contract in 2023.
“My first set of clubs I ever got as a kid was a Cobra set,” Woodland said Wednesday at the Sony Open in Hawaii. “My first couple of clubs were cut-downs from my mom, but my first junior set of clubs was a Cobra set, so it’s kind of a dream to actually play them out on Tour. It’s pretty cool.”
Driver
What Driver Does Gary Woodland Use?
Woodland is playing the new Cobra Darkspeed LS driver in the 9˚ head. As a really strong swinger of the club, Woodland uses a very strong shaft the Mitsubishi Diamana WB 73 in TX Flex.
We were really impressed with the Darkspeed LS in testing, particularly the aggressive spin numbers and (not that Woodland is worried about this) the exceptional value on offer. It definitely sits amongst the best drivers of 2024.
Fairways
What Fairway Woods Does Gary Woodland Use?
Woodland is currently gaming the Cobra Darkspeed LS 3 wood in 14.5˚ with a Mitsubishi Diamana WB 83 TX shaft, whilst his five-wood is the slightly older Cobra LTDx LS design with around 19 degrees of loft. His 5 wood is fitted with a UST Mamiya LINQ shaft.
Irons
What Irons Does Gary Woodland Use?
His irons, from four-iron down to pitching wedge, are Cobra King MB blades with Project X 6.5 shafts.

“I’m switching to the Cobra muscleback (irons),” Woodland said early in 2023. “I liked where I was at (using Wilson irons), and I’m equally excited about where I’m going. There’s a little less offset, which I like looking down at. It’s a very traditional blade, but the interaction with the turf has been amazing. I literally had no changes made to them; literally right off the rack and I put them in play.”
Wedges
What Wedges Does Gary Woodland Use?
In his wedges, Woodland has a mixture of Cobra and Vokey wedges. He uses a 48˚ Cobra SB wedge, before transitioning into two Titleist Vokey SM9 wedges (52-08F, 56-14F). For his lob wedge he goes back to Cobra, using the Cobra King 60˚.
The 48˚ is fitted with the same Project X 6.5 shafts as his irons, but the rest of the wedges have KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 125 S shafts in them, which are a little softer.
Putter
What Putter Does Gary Woodland Use?
Woodland seemed to be experimenting with his putter back in 2022. Previously a Scotty Cameron blade user, we did see him experiment with a Scotty Cameron Phantom X T5.5 with a plumbers neck design however it looks like he has now gone to a Scotty Cameron T-5 Prototype.
Ball
What Ball Does Gary Woodland Use?
Woodland had previousl played the Bridgestone Tour B X golf ball - the same model used by Tiger Woods - although he has now put the Titleist Pro V1x in play. One of the best golf balls money can buy, the Pro V1x got five stars in our review and it is easy to see why. It provides superb all-round performance with impressive distance in the long game, excellent control into the greens and high levels of consistency throughout with a soft feel. It was also particularly impressive when playing in the wind.
