The titleist features heavily in his golf bag as they sponsor Horschel. His driver is the Titleist GT3 Driver with a 9° loft, priced at $649.99. The club is made for players with a consistent impact location and provides superior control to max out distances. It features a Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6 X shaft.

For his Fairway Woods, Horschel opts for a $299.99 Titleist TSi2 3W with a 15˚ loft and a $174.99 Titleist TSi2 5W with an 18˚ loft. Featuring a titanium face, the club increases the distance that the ball travels, even in case of mishits. The club also comes with a SureFit hosel that allows you to set your loft and lie angles.

Both clubs are fitted with a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black 70 6.5 TX shaft. The TSi2 series is made for players who want a higher launch and an easy-to-handle club, unlike the TSi3, which is made for players who demand more control over their shots.

For his irons, he chooses the Titleist T100 (3I-5I) and a Titleist 620 MB (6I-9I), both fitted with a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft. The stock T100 comes with either a steel shaft, costing $206/club, or a graphite shaft, which goes for $222/club. The 620 MB goes for $175/club. Horshcel is known to be flexible with his iron setup, using the T100 for the long irons and the 620 MB blades for shorter irons. The rest of his bag has some more interesting choices, including Titleist and PING.
