As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

I find it interesting that Tiger had a Ping grip on his putter…did anyone else notice this?
Tony
Sep 26, 2018 at 10:29 am
This is the grip he’s been using since his amateur days. Despite all of the different grips that have come out over the last decades, he likes this one the best. And he has always blacked out the PING logo with a sharpie to keep it low key for his sponsors.

The best players use Taylormade. It’s interesting but no one wins with Callaway on tour. What does that tell you?

I like how he abuses his putter. The thing has won him a ton and earlier this year I saw him jamming it in the holes on the practice green scooping golf balls out. I’m worried about scratching my $179 putter. He doesn’t GAF. It was great seeing it.

Probably a stupid question, but why do people care what shafts Tiger Woods uses? Do they expect the same results if they were to use the same product?
MacAttack67
Sep 24, 2018 at 2:41 pm
He uses Dynamic Gold in his irons. The members here love to trash Dynamic Gold for hundreds of reasons yet it is still the #1 shaft on Tour by a mile and is played by the best players. Maybe Phil should switch back?
Ricky J Tomes
Sep 24, 2018 at 4:10 pm
The funny thing is people do expect the same results from using the same equipment he uses. Along, with the rest of the buying industry. That very thing is what drives the industry. Look how they market clubs and shafts and balls. Funny I Know.

Many people are questioning Tiger’s wood shafts. We’ve confirmed directly through Mitsubishi and Darrell that he’s playing Mitsubishi’s “Diamana D+ White” 70 gram in his driver and 80 gram in his fairway woods.
Jon
Sep 25, 2018 at 7:08 am
Andrew – can you use the power of Golfwrx and the Golfnerdery gods to get the details of the loft/lie of his irons – in fact I think this would be a welcome addition to all WITB. Thanks.
Tim
Sep 25, 2018 at 4:19 pm

What loft is his PW? What’s the gap between it and his 56?
JuannyBravo

lol. Tiger doesn’t need a gap wedge
Karl
Sep 24, 2018 at 11:56 am
I believe it’s 50 degrees for his PW. Old school lifts.
Jon
Sep 25, 2018 at 7:07 am
Great question. Also, 3-PW means nothing these days, it would be nice if they could list the loft/lie so we could know in much the same way as woods and hybrids are listed.
And then of course change them to his lofts then we will all play like him 🙂

Well, this might be one of those clubs that does not fit for everyone, I might be lucky enough to be in the general targeted audience. Although it may not be the greatest club, but it’s not too bad either

What´s about the length of the wood shafts? He has far less clubhead speed than at the beginning of the season.
Kevin
Sep 24, 2018 at 11:39 am
I’m curious about shaft length too, but I don’t think that is why his clubhead speed is down a little. this week he FINALLY brought is ‘range swing’ to the course. Just watch video of his smooth, controlled swing while warming up then he gets to the 1st tee and comes out of his shoes and sprays it all over the place! You would think he’d have figured that out a long time ago but he did this week. Hopefully he keeps it going at the Ryder Cup.

Forsure the Diamana LTD D+ graphics
Typically he has been 44.75″ driver
roughly 42.5 and 41.5 in the fairways

Correction: It was 44.875″ for the driver… not 44.75… my bad
