Team Daly has a great record at the PNC Championship. They won the 2021 edition and look forward to winning more. During an interview with NBC Sports, Daly shared about their coordination, stating, “I am the saddle; he is the horse. I try to make the best lines, and he makes the putt.” To make sure that everything goes as planned, he has his special golfing essentials that suit his style and the conditions at the course.

Starting with the tee shot, he uses the Sub70 859, 8-degree loft with a Newton Motion 6-Dot shaft. With his driver, he was the first PGA Tour player to average over 300 yards in driving distance in 1997. His best driving average is 314 yards, recorded in 2003. The key is confidence in his driver’s ability to perform consistently, irrespective of the impact location. Priced at $399, it has a great 450CC head that ensures effortless driving.

Then, he carries a 3-wood from TaylorMade. The Q10 Tour with 13.5 degrees loft with the Newton Motion 5-Dot shaft offers the ideal blend of forgiveness and distance, making sure a great recovery for the player. Priced at $399, it is a top choice among the PGA Tour professionals, as more than 10 golfers use it.

He uses three hybrids from Ping G430 including 17, 22, and 26 degrees. To deliver the best, he uses the KBS Tour Hybrid Prototype shaft. While the Ping hybrids are best for providing distance range with increased ball speed and spin predictability. Falling under the price bracket of $299, it offers a wide range of possibilities when combined with the right skill set, like John Daly.

Before reaching the greens, he also carries an iron from Sub70 658 (6-PW) with the KBS Tour shaft. Coming in at $110, the iron is stable with one of the best feels while hitting, making it a perfect option before reaching the greens.

John Daly’s custom clubs for the greens

While the majority of the golfers prefer to keep their clubs as they are, Daly has been different from all. Be it his hairstyle or his wedges and putter. His savior for greens is custom-made with Arkansas Razorbacks stamping. He uses Sub70 TAIII wedges with 54 and 60 degrees of loft paired with a KBS Tour 120S shaft for the ideal shots. These wedges are claimed to have the best consistency of carry distance and dispersion. Priced at approximately $135, it is a great option to reach the closest to the hole.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Team Daly's unique style and gear outshine Team Woods at the PNC Championship this year?

Have an interesting take?

For the final shot, he relies on his Bettinardi DASS Zero. The $1400 putter is great for every level of golfer, as it offers precision with a softer feel, which makes hitting easier. Each piece of golfing equipment matches his style of play. But, will this year be the change for his team? After winning in 2021, Team Daly has been runner-up in 2022 but hasn’t won since then.

Can they clinch the title away from Team Woods this season too? Which team is your pick for the PNC Championship? Let us know in the comments below.
