From brand new clubs, to those that are well over a decade old, we have seen many unique bag configurations this year, so we have picked out some of the most interesting ones used to win silverware this season...
Tommy Fleetwood - DP World India Championship
Tommy Fleetwood was among the many players without a driver in their bag for the DP World India Championship, with the Englishman's incredible form continuing at Delhi Golf Club.
Taking out his Taylormade Qi35 Dot driver, he had the TaylorMade R7 Quad mini driver in his set-up, as well as two TaylorMade fairway woods and his usual P7TW irons.
Interestingly, the putter he uses has hand-drawn sharpie lines on the crown, which has been in play since the RBC Heritage.

Marco Penge - 2025 Season
Despite receiving a three-month ban for breaching the DP World Tour's golf betting rules at the start of the season, Marco Penge has been one of the stand-out stories of 2025, securing three wins worldwide.
Interestingly, for his three wins, he has used three different putters. In Hainan, it was a Scotty Cameron Super Rat I, for his victory in Denmark, it was a Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.2 Tour Proto, while his victory in Spain was with a Scotty Cameron GOLO 6.2 Tour Prototype.

Claiming the Link Hong Kong Open in 2024, firing a 59 in the process, Patrick Reed wrapped up his first LIV Golf League title in his home city of Dallas just eight months later.
Winning in a four-man playoff, the Major winner purchased his TaylorMade Qi35 fairway wood from Golf Galaxy a week prior to his victory, with Reed possessing a Titleist GT3 driver and Grindworks Prototype irons.
Along with those clubs, Cleveland and Titleist wedges were in the bag, as was an Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter.

Adam Schenk's victory was one of the feel-good stories of 2025, with the American overcoming putting yips to secure a crucial PGA Tour win at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in brutally windy conditions.
Opting for a Ping G400 driver from 2017, Schenk didn't have a fairway wood in his bag, instead using a combo set of Ping i210s, which was released in 2018, and Mizuno MP18s that came out in 2017.
He also had an Odyssey Tri-Hot Rossie putter, which is over 20-years-old, in his set-up, as well as a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball in-play, specifically the model from 2017.

At Yas Links, Aaron Rai secured the biggest win of his career at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
Using a TaylorMade M6 driver, which was released in 2019, the Englishman is known for using pink castle tees, iron headcovers and two gloves. He also has a 24-degree hybrid in the bag, which replaces a 4-iron.
It may seem like an odd set-up, but it still earned Rai a second Rolex Series win via a playoff.

- Fairway Woods: TaylorMade Qi10 3-wood (15°) and 5-wood (18°) with Fujikura Ventus Blue 8 X shafts

William Mouw started his final round of the ISCO Championship seven shots back, with the American carding a nine-under 61 to claim a maiden title on the PGA Tour.
In terms of his bag, his Ping G400 LST driver came out in 2017, but that's nowhere near the oldest club in Mouw's bag, as his Ping Anser irons date back to 2010.
They were used for the event but, previously, he has had Ping Blueprint S irons in play.
What's more, back in May of this year, he even used a Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron, a model from 2016 which is still in the set-ups of Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau.

A four-putt on the 72nd hole from Jeeno Thitikul handed Charley Hull a third LPGA Tour title at the Kroger Queen City Championship and her first win on the circuit in three years.
Putting in new TaylorMade MG5 wedges that week, the main talking point was the lack of fairway woods, with the Englishwoman instead opting for two TaylorMade Qi35 hybrids set at 16° and 19°.
Hull's fairway wood-less bag featured 14 TaylorMade clubs and a TP5x ball.
- Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 LS (8°) with UST Mamiya Attas 6Star 6 X shaft

Ludvig Aberg claimed the Genesis Invitational after birdieing the final hole, with the Swede securing the biggest victory of his career at Torrey Pines.
The interesting part of Aberg's bag came in the driver department. For the first three rounds he used a Titleist GT2 but, for the final day, he reverted back to his Titleist TSR2, with both drivers featuring Fujikura Ventus Black 6X shafts.
Along with the big stick, he had 2023 TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway woods at 15° and 21°, as well as a blade-style putter.

Eugenio Chacarra - Hero Indian Open
Earning his DP World Tour card via a tightly-fought victory at the Hero Indian Open, Eugenio Chacarra had four different brands in his golf bag, with the putter being the main stand-out.
Possessing Callaway Ai Smoke Triple Diamond woods, the 2021 version of TaylorMade P7MCs were in the bag, while the Spaniard used a Tad Moore Make Everything Mallet (MEM) putter.
For those who don't know, Moore is a master artisan who specializes in handcrafted clubs.
Designed with the help of Mike Dunaway, it specifically focuses on alignment and balance and features a very heavy shaft and a broomstick design. Chacarra has had it in-play for the majority of 2025, as well as the 2019 version of the Titleist Pro V1.

Hideki Matsuyama - The Sentry

Prototype Srixon Z-Forged II irons are the next clubs in the bag, while Cleveland RTX 4 Forged Prototype wedges from 2018 have been in this bag for over seven years.
At the Hero World Challenge, where Matsuyama won in a playoff, he had an L-Neck Scotty Cameron putter but, at The Sentry, he used a center shaft version of the 009M.
The 33-year-old is known for his Scotty Cameron collection, and has mixed that aspect up in his bag throughout 2025.

Speaking of TaylorMade, it was a first PGA Tour win for the newly released R7 Quad Mini Driver, which was also in the bags for Fleetwood and Sami Valimaki's PGA Tour victories in 2025.
An M6 fairway from 2019 was also in Rose's set-up, as were Titleist 620 CB and Miura MC-502 irons. Rose also opted for a Scotty Cameron Phantom T5 Tour Prototype and changed to the 2025 Titleist Pro V1x golf ball.

The 22-year-old is known for using different color grips from her 4-iron to her 58°, so that her dad, Montree, can closely follow which clubs his daughter is using on TV.

In terms of Gerard, he has a predominantly Titleist bag and TaylorMade fairway woods. The American also has a Titleist T200 4-iron in his bag which is actually set-up like a utility iron.
Matt Fitzpatrick - DP World Tour Championship
Earning a third DP World Tour Championship victory in November, Matt Fitzpatrick enjoyed a fine second half of the year that included an away Ryder Cup victory in New York.
