Some guys on Tour don’t always make the loudest noise, but they sure know how to stay in the mix—and Chad Ramey is exactly that type of player. The Mississippi native turned professional in 2014, and while he might not be a household name just yet, he’s already made his mark with a solid PGA Tour win at the 2022 Corales Puntacana Championship and a victory on the Korn Ferry Tour at the 2021 Live and Work in Maine Open. Fast forward to April 2025, and Ramey is quietly climbing leaderboards again.

Just take a look at his recent finishes: T5 at the Valero Texas Open, where he went 72-68-70 for a 210 total (-6), and a strong performance at the Texas Children’s Houston Open with a 274 (-10). Sure, the Valspar Championship didn’t go his way (+10), but that’s golf for you. One week you’re grinding through missed greens, the next you’re flushing fairways and rolling birdies. And speaking of rolling birdies—let’s talk about the tools Ramey’s using to stay competitive.

Photos of his setup were recently shared on GolfWRX, taken before the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course (April 3–6, 2025). If you’ve ever wondered what gear a calm and consistent Tour player like Ramey trusts week in and week out, here’s a look inside the bag.

Ramey’s driver of choice is the PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 driver, a powerhouse club that’s designed to deliver low spin and tight dispersion. At $599.99, it’s a premium piece of technology that helps players like Ramey keep the ball in play without sacrificing distance. For a guy who’s not looking to overpower a course but rather dissect it with smart tee shots, this club fits like a glove.

But Ramey doesn’t stop there. His fairway wood setup is unique, and tells you a lot about his strategy. He carries three fairway woods from PXG’s 0311 Gen6 line: 3-wood (15° loft), 5-wood (18° loft), 7-wood (21° loft). Each of these clubs costs $349.99, and they give him incredible versatility. The 7-wood, in particular, has become a go-to option for Tour pros who want height and soft landings on long approaches. It’s a sign that Ramey is all about creating options when navigating tricky par-5s and long par-4s.

Then there’s the iron setup. Ramey plays a clean blade set with the PXG 0317 ST Milled Irons, running from 5-iron through 9-iron. This is a player’s set through and through—compact heads, buttery feel, and incredible feedback. If you’re going to shape shots and control trajectory with confidence, this is what you want in the bag. The full set goes for $899.95, which, for the level of craftsmanship and performance you’re getting, is actually a pretty solid deal.

Ramey’s short game tools: control, spin, and consistency

Around the greens, Chad Ramey puts his trust in PXG’s high-end wedge line. He plays the Sugar Daddy III Milled wedges in 50 and 54 degrees, both with an S grind. These wedges are engineered for precise turf interaction and optimal spin—and you better believe Ramey takes full advantage of that. At $299.99 apiece, they’re an investment, but one that pays off when you’re grinding out pars from tough lies or firing at tight pins.

Then we get to the flatstick—the club that can make or break a round. Ramey’s gamer is the PXG Battle Ready II Hercules putter, a sleek, stable putter designed to keep the stroke smooth and the ball rolling true. Coming in at $389.99, it’s no surprise he trusts this on Tour-level greens, where precision is everything.

Chad Ramey’s gear setup isn’t flashy, but it’s functional, smart, and tailored to his style of play. It’s the kind of bag built not for highlight reels but for weekend contention, which is exactly where he’s been lately. With recent strong finishes and a dialed-in arsenal from PXG, don’t be surprised if Ramey finds himself in the winner’s circle again before long.

And if you wondered what his whole kit costs, it’s for $3,189.88, not including shafts, grips, or ball preferences. That’s a lot of tech— and a lot of potential—for a player who’s just getting started on his next run.
