We take a look inside the bag of American golfer John Catlin.

John Catlin What's In The Bag?

John Catlin may have been born in the United States and played collegiate golf for the University of New Mexico, but he is one of the rare Americans to play most of his golf away from the PGA Tour.

Over the past few years he has been playing on several different Tours like the Asian Development Tour, All Thailand Golf Tour, Asian Tour and also the European Tour.

So far he has had ten professional wins with the two biggest coming in 2020 at the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucia Masters hosted at Valderrama, and the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. Just seven months later he also got back into the winners circle with a playoff victory at the Austrian Open over Maximilian Kieffer.

So what does the American put into his golf bag each week? Well he has a mix and match club setup at the moment with several different brands represented. He does appear to have some kind of contract with Srixon though according to his website.

First he uses a Ping G425 LST driver and then a TaylorMade SIM three-wood.

He then uses two Srixon Z-U85 utility irons which act as his three and four-irons. He then transitions down into a set of Srixon Z-Forged blades which go from five-iron down to nine-iron.

He then carries four Cleveland RTX-4 ZipCore wedges with 46, 52, 58 and 62 degrees of loft.

His final club in the bag is an Odyssey O-Works Black #1 putter and he also uses a Srixon Z-Star golf ball.
