The end of another year means one thing – the anticipation of new driver launches got everyone on social media in a frenzy.
Generally, the big brands do a good job of keeping their latest and greatest tech under wraps, but they eventually have to show their hands for the 2026 season – this has now happened with the Qi4D driver already in the hands of Tour professionals.
Rory McIlroy had it in the bag, together with the Qi4D fairway woods, when he claimed his 4th consecutive, 7th in total, Race to Dubai Rankings victory. Entering the 2026 Masters he has decided to put the Qi10 fairway wood back in the bag.
A more surprising change was his switch in irons early in 2026 from the the Rors Proto to the P7CB. However, come the Pebble Beach Pro-Am the Rors Proto’s are back in the bag.
When it comes to the ball he is sticking with the TP5, having previously gamed the TP5x
A look inside Rory McIlroy’s bag
The top of his bag, for now, are the new Qi4D driver and five wood but he sticks with the Qi10 model for the three wood.
Earlier in 2025 he opted for the Qi10 5 wood for the US Open at Oakmont but replaced this with the P760 long irons for The Open – before moving into the rest of his bag with a TaylorMade P760 4 iron and TaylorMade Rors Proto 5-9 iron. Early in 2026 he made the switch to the P7CB irons before reverting back to the Rors Proto’s.
Having also played around with his wedge set up he is currently gaming 4 of the new TaylorMade MG5 wedges.
Putter wise he is still playing the TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter. A putter he recommended to Scottie Scheffler.
He rounds out his gear with the TaylorMade TP5 golf ball – which is a big change in 2025 as he played the TP5x in previous years.
