Scottie Scheffler WITB 2026: The case for older model golf clubs

What does the World Number 1 have in his bag for 2026? Very much a case of trusting the old and not always switching to the new.

Scottie Scheffler has been the world number one for what feels like an eternity. The American has held the top spot in golf consecutively since 2023.

A change of putter seemed to have made all the difference as he has gone from strength-to-strenght with no signs of slowly down.

It doesn’t look like he is taking his foot off the gas in 2026 either – claiming his first victory at the The American Express by 4 shots. Though this followed with some inconsistent form he finished 2nd at The Masters and the week after at the RBC Heritage.

He once again had to settle for a runner-up spot at the Travelers Championship as Viktor Hovland snatched the win away from him in a one-hole playoff.

The form he is in, who would back against him going one better at Royal Birkdale and defending his Open Championship title?

Here’s look at what Scheffler has in the bag for 2026..

A look inside Scottie Scheffler’s bag

The world number one made a switch to the TaylorMade Qi10 driver early in 2024, as he replaced his TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus with the standard Qi10 driver – but with the release of the TaylorMade 2026 Qi4D range he initially made a driver switch in 2026 – but has now gone back to the trusty Qi10.

He has also opted for the Qi4D when it comes to the 7 wood, when the course conditions require – one of many tour pros opting for a 7 wood to advance the ball out of the rough and use on long par 3’s.

He still uses the TaylorMade Qi10 model for his fairway wood.

Scheffler moves away from TaylorMade for his driving iron, opting for Srixon’s ZU85 3 and sometimes 4-iron. The rest of his irons are made up of TaylorMade P7TWs, from a 5-iron to a pitching wedge. Sometimes he opts to drop the 4-iron depending on course conditions.

Again his bag deviates from TaylorMade for his wedges, choosing to carry a 50°, 56° and a 60°wedge from Titleist’s Vokey SM8 range. Again, having not put in his bag the SM9s or10s, it will be interesting to see if he eventually opts to put the 2026 SM11s in.

He also carries a TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter and a Titleist Pro V1 ball – not yet switching to the 2025 Pro V1.
