Wesley Bryan WITB: PGA Tour star’s unique setup for The CJ Cup Byron Nelson explored

Corales Puntacana Championship - Final Round

At the Corales Puntacana Championship in April, Wesley Bryan was close to winning his first championship on the PGA Tour in seven years. However, a brilliant performance from Billy Horschel saw Bryan finish in second position, which is a decent finish.

However, the famous golfer is now set to play the upcoming CJ Byron Nelson Cup. While he seems to be pumped up for the same, Bryan has made some changes to his setup. In addition to the Takomo set which he began using in 2023, Bryan will now also use a new 101 U 4-iron, plus a Titleist T200 4-iron.

This means the 34-year-old will be dropping his 5-iron. While the decision seems to be weird on paper, Wesley Bryan had an explanation for the same. While speaking about the new addition to his equipment during a recent press conference, he said:

“It’s super forgiving and launches high, and it has a bit longer of a profile to where it looks really good. If people are willing to play something that doesn’t have an expensive price tag on their club, it outperforms the Srixon (driving iron). [I started testing it] in the last couple weeks and it’s in the bag.
"I just made it like 2 degrees weaker. Basically that gap from 205 to 225 I was in a little bit of a dead space, so I’m going to try and fill that gap better.”

It will be interesting to see if this change in equipment works for Wesley Bryan at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson. If it does, then it would be Bryan's first win in 2024.


What time will Wesley Bryan tee off at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024?
