We take a look at the Ping clubs the 34-year-old has in play this season.

Mackenzie Hughes has won twice on the PGA Tour with his latest win coming at the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship. He defeated Sepp Straka in a play-off to claim his first victory on tour since 2016. His first win came in his rookie season at The RSM Classic.

Hughes is a Ping staff player and carries a full bag of Ping equipment. So let’s take a look at the full Mackenzie Hughes WITB…

A look inside Mackenzie Hughes’ bag

The Canadian has a fairly conventional set-up in his bag. His driver of choice is the 2025 model Ping G440 LST. Interestingly, he has continued with the 9 degree club head in the 2025 model compared to the 10.5 degree head he use to game in the older Ping G425 range.

Hughes uses two G430 fairway woods but this time in the Max model. He chooses to carry a 3-wood and a 7-wood. We have seen a lot more tour player switch to high lofted woods lately as they help stop the ball quicker on firm, fast greens.

Mackenzie Hughes WITB

Hughes uses a combo set of irons, with his longer irons being Ping i210s for extra height and forgiveness. From 7-iron down to a pitching wedge, he uses Ping S55 irons.

He currently has three of the new Ping S159 wedges in play. Interestingly since transitioning into these from the previous Ping Glide’s he has opted to swap his most lofted wedge from a 60 degree, to a 62 degree. That should certainly give him some stopped power.

He rounds out his Ping hardware with a Scottsdale TR Piper C putter. This is a centre shafted model which was first released in 2013.

A Titleist Pro V1 is the only non-ping piece of equipment Hughes plays with.

Here’s the full Mackenzie Hughes WITB 2025 breakdown…

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
