What is in Patrick Rodgers’s bag?

Patrick Rodgers’s Driver

Rodgers's preferred driver is the Titleist TSR3 model, with an 8-degree loft adjustment. The five-position SureFit CG track is retained from the TSi3, but it has been tidied up to let the weight sit more flush in the extreme positions. A shorter screw thread also makes adjusting the track faster.

The other significant alteration that golfers are blind to is a new Variable Thickness Face (VFT) pattern that the Titleist is referring to as the Speed Ring. This pattern is exclusive to TSR3 and designed for players who strike the ball in a more centered part of the face. He is using the Fujikura Speeder 757 TR shaft.

Patrick Rodgers’s Fairways

Similar in design to his driver, Rodgers's three-wood has a 15-degree loft that is adjusted to 14.25 degrees via the combination of a Fujikura Ventus Black TR 6 X shaft, Fujikura's VeloCore Technology, and an additional layer of incredibly strong and light spread tow carbon fabric in the mid/handle section to maximize torsional stiffness.

In order to achieve tighter dispersion, Ventus TR is engineered to improve on-center face contact and increase stability upon impact. Ventus Black has the beefiest profile in the series, with a strengthened butt and tip area that allows it to be geared for higher swing speeds while having a substantially lower launch and spin rate.

Patrick Rodgers’s Hybrid

Rodgers's hybrid is a Titleist TSi3, with a Fujikura Ventus Black HB 10 TX shaft and an 18-degree adjustable loft set at 17.25 degrees. The TSi3 is the hybrid model that Titleist has launched that is specially designed for better players, and it does a great job on many fronts.

Titleist view their hybrids as scoring clubs as opposed to rescue clubs, and the TSi3 is made to encourage golfers to attack the course and be more aggressive with their strokes rather than help them get out of difficult circumstances, according to Golf Monthly.

Patrick Rodgers’s Irons

Rodgers has gone with a Titleist T100 iron with a Project X 125 6.5 shaft. The T-Series' contemporary tour iron is the T100, as its workability, compact profile, and soft yet sturdy feel make it a favorite at premier events. There are some noticeable improvements in the updated edition, especially in terms of consistency and the way the club enters and exits the turf.

The feel is less bouncy and thicker, according to Golf Monthly, which is especially pleasant when you hit one out of the middle. The small sole penetrates the turf rapidly but is designed to exit it just as quickly, producing divots that are easy to fix and gratifyingly crisp.

Patrick Rodgers’s Wedges

Rodgers uses two SM9 wedges, 50-12F and 56-12D, equipped with Project X 125 6.5 and True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts, respectively.

First off, according to Golf Monthly, the SM9 still sports the iconic Vokey design from the outstanding SM8 wedge. The shape and absence of offset provide confidence when hitting full strokes, and they look inviting with the ball behind them around the green.

It might be argued that the SM9's lower lofted wedges have a leading edge that is slightly straighter, which aids in alignment on full shots and the change from your irons.

Patrick Rodgers’s Putter

Reportedly, for a long time, Rodegrs's go-to club was a Scotty Cameron Phantom X12 prototype, but in order to putt more confidently and better, he has since replaced it with a Scotty Cameron Special Select Timeless Tour prototype.

Patrick Rodgers’s Golf Ball

Rodgers's play with the Pro V1x ball, which is derived from a revolutionary high gradient "Dual-Core" structure, is already too well-known among golfers. The core of the ball becomes gradually softer from the outside in.

An internal core of the ProV1x has been enlarged by 44%. According to Titleist's engineers, these qualities serve to improve flight stability and decrease spin in the long game, all of which contribute to increased speed.
