Jake Knapp and Patty Tavatanakit have been rocking the scene at the 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational. Their performance came as a surprise to everyone in the golf community as they blasted a score of -14 on the first day. A -6 in the penultimate round ensured that they maintained their lead at the top of the table at a score of -20.

Amid their ongoing battle with Tom Kim & Atthaya Thitikul, and Akshay Bhatia & Jennifer Kupcho for glory at Tiburón Golf Club, let’s take a look at what the 1X PGA Tour winner is carrying in his golf bag.

From the tee to the green

There is no doubt that Jake Knapp needs to lead the team by hitting extraordinary strokes off the tee. So it is no surprise that he is carrying the Ping G425 LST Driver with Project X HZRDUS T1100 TX shaft. As anyone who has seen Knapp play, he is known for hitting the ball in a snap. He has a really quick swing that ensures maximum range as soon as the bell is hit. Hence, the Ping G425 LST Driver is a perfect match that relies more on the player’s ability to deliver high-intensity strokes. The built ensures flat trajectory launches that allow the ball to pierce through the wind and land on a great spot. Hence, the $399 piece is trusted by some of the best pros like Viktor Hovland, Cameron Champ, and many others. It’s paired perfectly with the $179 Project X HZRDUS T1100 TX which favors fast swingers.

Off the fairway, Knapp prefers using the TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver, one of Tommy Fleetwood’s favorite drivers. The beautiful piece is designed for precision hitting as the smooth surface ensures minimal resistance on the turf. This is another piece that favors quick swingers as reduced obstructions allow for a nice flow of swing and optimal impact. The fairway driver is priced at $449.99 in online stores. It is paired with the Project X HZRDUS T1100 TX shaft as well.

The Srixon Z U85 Utility Iron is a favorite for many golfers. Most famously, the world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler has had this piece in his kit for some time now. In fact, that is what helped him with the Tour Championship and the Hero World Challenge this year. The hallowed body of the iron allows for a great launch upon off-center strikes, allowing the pros to curve the ball to their advantage. It’s priced at around $125.99 with some stores also offering it for as low as $99.97. It is paired with a $175 Mitsubishi Tensei White Hybrid shaft.

Knapp also uses the PXG 0211 ST Irons with KBS C-Taper Shafts. The irons are perfectly designed for players who seek complete control over the ball when they are pursuing a stroke. The blade also offers great workability which helps the pros escape difficult situations with much more ease. Other than Jake Knapp, Joel Dahmen also uses this iron often. The irons start at a price of $99.98 and can go up to $189. The KBS C-Taper Shafts can be purchased for $49.95.

These are all the clubs Jake Knapp uses to get close to the tee. But what about the moments where he is in and around the green?

Jake Knapp in the green

When looking to hit accurate shots onto the green, Jake Knapp gets the Titleist Vokey Design SM9 Wedges from his caddie. This beautifully designed wedge is ideal for shot versatility, distance control, and spin. Hence, a lot of pros like Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, and his adversary at the 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational, Daniel Berger also use this wedge. Priced at a modest $149.98, this is the ultimate value-for-money piece.

When looking to putt the ball, Knapp has his faith in the TaylorMade Spider Tour Double Bend Putter. It is an extremely stable piece that offers consistency and forgiveness to those holding it. The $349.99 putter is a preferred choice for world no. 3, Rory McIlroy, who uses another version of the TaylorMade Spider Tour series. Lastly, Jake Knapp uses the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball, which is a well-loved golf ball many pros use like Louis Oosthuizen, Henrik Stenson, and more. It is priced at $55.00 on Titleist’s official website.
