What's in Lucas Glover's bag?

The accomplished American golfer Lucas Glover has impacted the sport with his skill and determination. Born on November 12, 1979, in Greenville, South Carolina, Glover is known for his composed presence on the golf course.

2009 Glover achieved a major milestone by winning the US Open Championship at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. This victory showcased his golfing prowess and highlighted his ability to perform under pressure. It was a significant moment that solidified his reputation as a formidable competitor in professional golf.

Fast forward to July 2021, Glover won the John Deere Classic, beating his opponents by two shots. In the final round, he shot an impressive seven-under-par 64, which ended his drought of 10 years without a win on the PGA Tour.

In June 2023, after years of struggling with the yips while putting, Glover switched from a traditional putter to a longer putter similar to the one used by Adam Scott. This led to a drastic improvement in Glover's results, including three consecutive top-10 finishes in July.

Glover won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in a dramatic playoff against Patrick Cantlay the following week. This win made him only the third player in his 40s to win back-to-back weeks on the PGA Tour in the last 25 years.

Lucas Glover’s Bag

Lucas Glover’s Driver

Glover uses the Srixon Z785 (9.5 degrees), with the Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 X shaft.

His driving statistics are highly competitive against the best players in the game when he is in top form. He excels in accuracy, ranking 7th with an average of 0.25 shots gained off the tee. Although he falls below the field average for distance, with less than 300 yards, this demonstrates, as was shown with Brian Harman, that distance alone is not the only factor that counts. He uses the Srixon Z785 (9.5 degrees), with the Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 X shaft.

Lucas Glover’s Fairways

Glover's golf bag includes a Ping G430 Max 5-wood (18°) equipped with a Fujikura Ventus Black 10 X shaft. He excels in hitting long approach shots, often performing better than the field average with approaches from over 200 yards. His shots typically land within 50 feet of the target.

Lucas Glover’s Irons

Glover uses the following: (with true Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts)

• Srixon ZX5 (4)

• Srixon ZX7 (5-PW)

After winning two consecutive games, Glover's exceptional accuracy was once again reflected in his stats, where he gained 0.58 shots from approaches to the green, found 70% of greens in regulation, and ranked first in average proximity from the pin. With such consistency and precision in his iron play, it's no surprise that Glover is again in contention to win on the Tour.

Lucas Glover’s Wedges

Glover uses the Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore Tour Rack wedges (52,56,60) degrees, with the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts. He is not known for his exceptional wedge skills, but he compensates by getting up and down from around the green, including making sand saves most of the time. According to his statistics, his strongest area in the wedge game is chips from over 30 yards.

Lucas Glover’s Putter

Glover is partial towards the Mezz.1 Max putter which offers exceptional stability and is ideal for golfers who prefer oversized putters or seek the most forgiveness possible. It is available in Standard-Length, ArmLock, and Broomstick builds.

Since switching to a long putter in June 2023, Glover's putting skills have remarkably improved. Although he faced some initial challenges, he and his team were confident they were on the right path to turn things around with the changed flat stick. Their trust in that decision has paid off, with his game in the best all-around shape it has been for quite some time.

Lucas Glover’s Golf Ball

Glover uses the firmer Z-Star XV by Srixon, which is for 100+mph swing speeds and is played on tour by Hideki Matsuyama, Shane Lowry, Keegan Bradley, and Lucas Glover. The 2023 model has a new three-piece construction, and it’s designed to fly higher and further than the standard Z-Star. Srixon likes to say that if your birdies start with an oversized tee shot, this is probably the ball for you. Compared to the Z-Star Diamond, the XV generates a little less mid-iron and wedge spin but is slightly longer than the tee.
