Patrick Reed spotted with Artisan wedges, Nike irons at Farmers
Patrick Reed signed a head-to-toe deal with Nike in January. The five-time PGA Tour winner began his professional career as a Nike staffer before signing with Callaway during the 2013 season, but now that he’s moved on from the chevron, he’s an equipment free agent.
Thus, we’ve been waiting to see what’s in Captain America’s bag since the news, and now we have the answer–and it includes some Artisan Golf wedges, which makes sense given the Nike/Mike Taylor/Texas connection.

Reed looks to be gaming a TaylorMade M3, as well as his old Nike VR Pro 3-wood. It looks like he’s got a Titleist T-MB 2-iron, and Nike VR Pro irons similar to what we spotted him with when he was a Swoosh staffer in 2013. Then, there’s the Artisan wedges (51, 56 and 60 degrees), and his trusty Odyssey flatstick.
Here’s a few shots of P. Reed’s new weaponry.

Rickie Fowler’s new putter: Standard-length Odyssey Jailbird 380 in custom orange
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

Looks like the addition of Sergio shakes things up at Callaway. PR seems to be going back to what he knows works while he searches for new sponsorship.

Interesting to see him go back to his Nike irons and 3-wood if he’s not on contract. Again, Nike clubs couldn’t have been that bad as a lot of people think, if there are a lot of players still playing some type of club of theirs…..Tommy Fleetwood playing some clubs and TW.

Wow good catch man. You should call it in next time Reed is playing. Make sure to mention you noticed this on Golfwrx.com so the site gets some free marketing!

Yep, because it’s Monday and he is testing out equipment. If it was a tournament round it would be a different story.
