Joohyung Kim, also known as Tom Kim, has fast become one of the PGA Tour’s biggest and best names.

He won three times on the PGA Tour by the time he was 21 years old – including successive victories in the Shriners Children’s Open in 2022 and 2023.

Having finished in the top 20 in three of the four majors in 2023, including in a tie for second at The Open at Royal Liverpool, some might have thought he would have pushed on in 2024. Instead he finished in the top 30 in three of the four majors with a best place of T26 at the PGA and US Open. He followed this up with a somewhat disappointing 2025 where he missed the cut at The Open Championship and had a best place of tied 33rd in the other majors – this being the US Open.

However, 2026 has seen a return to form with a 3rd finish at the US Open and a victory at the Scottish Open.

Kim is a Titleist staffer with a full bag of the brand’s gear in play – including the new GTS metals.

So which Titleist clubs are helping him have a more successful 2026?

What’s in Tom Kim’s bag?

At the top of his bag, Tom Kim carries the GTS driver and fairway metals.

He then carries a utility iron, when conditions suit, and a blended set of Titleist irons.

As a Titleist staffer he carries Vokey wedges, but interestingly, not the latest models, seemingly preferring to trust the older models.

He rounds out his bag with the Scotty Cameron putter and the Titleist Pro V1x golf ball.

When it comes to apparel and shoes he is Nike head to toe.
