Sahith Theegala WITB 2025: What, no 7 iron?

FacebookXInstagramYouTubePodcast0 comments

The Ping staffer carries Ping clubs from the top to the bottom of his bag – but his dislike for the number 7 means there is no place for an iron of that number!

Sahith Theegala stole the hearts of PGA Tour fans when he faltered down the stretch to surrender the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. He suffered another sand-related near miss at the Travelers Championship in the same year.

But the likeable American put his demons to bed at the 2023 Fortinet Championship and now, he is one of the PGA Tour’s most consistent performers and reached as high as 12th in the world rankings in 2024.

A look inside Sahith Theegala’s bag

Theegala is a Ping man and at the top of his bag is the new Ping G440 LST driver – replacing the G430 version he had in play in 2024.

He has also made a change in 2025 in relation to his fairway woods – introducing the G440 four and nine woods.

This change means that he has removed a 3-iron and starts his irons from 4-6, no 7 iron, then 8-PW. It is his dislike for the number 7 that has resulted in it being removed!

He carries three Ping s159 wedges and rounds out his bag with a Ping TR 1966 Anser 2 prototype.

Take a look below at the full Sahith Theegala WITB 2025 rundown…

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.
