In the dynamic realm of professional golf, a player’s equipment choice is every bit as important as their talent level. Brendon Todd, who is ranked #63 in the Official World Golf Ranking right now, has a tasteful assortment of clubs and equipment that suit both his particular playing style and the demands of the contemporary game. The 38-year-old has three PGA Tour wins under his belt and might just clench a fourth one at the Valspar Championship as he is sharing the lead with four others in the suspended round 2.

So, what is the reason for this polished game? When one takes a close look at Todd’s bag, one finds a carefully curated collection of weapons designed to maximize his performance on the road.

Todd’s bag is a golf fan’s delight. His penchant for a combination of power and control off the tee is indicated by his choice of the PING G430 Max driver, which has a 10.5-degree loft combined with a Fujikura Ventus TR Red 6 X shaft. Todd’s precision driving style, which is an essential part of his approach on the course, is enhanced by the G430 Max’s reputation for increasing ball speed and forgiveness.

When Todd moves from the tee to the fairway, he continues to rely on PING with a PING G425 Max 5-wood and a PING G430 Max 3-wood with Fujikura Ventus TR Red shafts. The uniformity of his equipment selection highlights his emphasis on dependability and uniform performance in various shots.

Todd’s hybrid, a PING G425 with a 22-degree loft and a Mitsubishi Tensei CK 80 HY TX shaft, smoothly transitions from his woods to his irons. It’s evidence of his tactical approach to the game, where he makes sure he has the appropriate tool for any situation he might run into on the course.

Todd prefers Titleist for his irons, of which he uses the 718 T-MB for his 5-iron and the 718 CB for his 4–9 irons, all of which are shafted with True Temper AMT Tour White S400. His steadfast devotion to Titleist irons and wedges, on the other hand, is a monument to the brand’s dependability and excellence, which suit Todd’s style of play.

An evolving bag of tools

Todd uses Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (46-10F, 50, 54-10S, 59) and the Vokey Design Wedgeworks Proto (59) wedges in the short game, which have multiple lofts and configurations to address different circumstances on the greens. With this setup, Todd can confidently handle difficult approaches because it strikes a balance between forgiveness and playability. The pro also uses Titleist for their ball, the Pro V1X, which is also the ball of choice for many professional golfers.

A meticulous growth toward dominance may be seen in the way Todd’s equipment choices have changed over time. Switching putters from SIK Pro C-Series to Odyssey models is an attempt to achieve better comfort and performance. From the range of Odyssey’s putters, he uses White Hot OG Rossie and Toulon Design San Diego. Todd is the only golfer on the Tour who uses the former putter, and he is the he is the second pro after Erik Van Rooyen to use the latter.

On the greens, we can see that Brendon Todd wears FootJoy shoes, and in apparel, he chooses the Georgia-based company, Onward Reserve.
