What’s in Holmes’ winning bag?
JB Holmes WITB
JB Holmes’ victory at the Genesis Open meant it was the third victory of the weekend for a Srixon staff player as Holmes joined Ryan Fox and Miguel Angel Jimenez in the winners’ circle.
We take a look at the clubs that helped Holmes record his first victory since 2015.
What’s in Holmes’ winning bag?
Despite being contracted to Srixon and Celeveland, he doesn’t use either of their drivers. He recently put the new Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero in the bag at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Holmes also uses a TaylorMade M2 HL 3-wood which he has had in his bag for a number of years.
The American uses a Srixon Z U85 3-iron and uses the Srixon Z 785 from his 4-iron to his pitching wedge, a similar set up to World Perth Super 6 winner Ryan Fox.
Holmes has made a slight tweak to his wedge set up, changing from the Cleveland RTX 3 to the RTX 4 model and he has four of the wedges in play, opting for a 50°, 54°, 56° and 60° set up.
In the last year the 36 year-old has made a slight change to his flat stick, changing from a Bettinardi Dass blade putter to a Scotty Cameron 009M.

Matthew Beedle
Matthew has been playing golf since he was around 13 and took up the game at a local nine-hole municipal course with his friends before joining Pontefract & District Golf Club just over the hedge.
Still a member of Pontefract with a handicap of 3, he currently sits on the board of directors to help with digital and marketing initiatives in order to improve membership and visitor income.
Matthew graduated university with a First Class in Sports Journalism from Leeds Trinity University and has been working in the golf industry since graduating.
NCG’s social media & marketing manager, Matthew’s main job role is to increase website traffic to the National Club Golfer website via our email and social media channels as well as driving entries to grow our NCG Top 100s Tour events amongst other tasks.
Not one to change his equipment too often, Matthew currently plays the TaylorMade M2 driver which has lasted the test of time in his bag. Elsewhere, you’ll find him using the TaylorMade Stealth 2 three-wood with a Ping G425 Crossover 2-iron to aid his long game.
Through his 4-iron to Gap Wedge, Matthew uses the Ping i500 irons accompanied by Ping’s Glide 3.0 56-degree and 60-degree wedges.
Another club that has stood the test of time in his bag is a Nike Method Core MC-3i putter which has had to have the SuperStroke grip changed at least three times. Ball of choice is the Titleist ProV1.
