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 cemented his World Number 1 ranking in 2024 with 7 victories – this included The Masters, The Players and Tour Championship.
A change of putter seemed to have made all the difference as he shook of the issue of his putting being the only part of his game letting him down.
That putter change triggered Scheffler returning to his imperious best. He won a second Arnold Palmer Invitational, before going back-to-back-to-back at The Players Championship, then winning for the second time in three years at The Masters and finishing off a remarkable winning streak the week after at The Heritage.
He eventually finished off the season with the Tour Championship by 4 strokes from Collin Morikawa.
He started 2025 somewhat slowly but entered the winners circle with a bang – with an 8 shot victory at the Byron Nelson. This was quickly followed with a 6 shot victory at The PGA Championship at Quail Hollow – and so claiming his third Major.
He followed this up with an immaculate 4 shot victory at The Open at Royal Portrush and so is now three quarters on the way to the career grand slam.
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. Who would back against him claiming one of the three remaining Majors?
So, what is in the bag of the world number 1? Let’s take a peak with the Scottie Scheffler WITB 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.
