The Cognizant Classic Tournament is wrapping up, with Michael Kim currently sitting at T4 and Jake Knapp leading in round 1 trophy. The tournament, taking place from February 27 to March 2, 2025, is being held at the PGA National Members Club, with a purse of $9,200,000. As the tournament comes to a close, all eyes are on the leaders, and it’s anyone’s guess who will take home the top prize.

However, the Korean golfer is an underrated favorite in the tournament due to his close-call performances in this 2025 season. He had his best finish of T2 in the WM Phoenix Open. So, what’s behind the success? Let’s take a peek inside his bag! His driver of choice is the Titleist TS3 (10.5 degrees), paired with an Aldila Rogue Black 60X shaft – a powerhouse combo that retails for around $499. Kim’s fairway wood is the Titleist TS2 (16.5 degrees) paired with an Aldila Rogue Black 70 TX shaft, a real performer that’ll set you back around $299. He also relies on his Titleist 816H1 (21 degrees) hybrid, paired with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-85 X Hybrid shaft, a versatile tool priced at around $249.

Rounding out Kim’s bag are his trusty irons: the Titleist 718 T-MB (4) and Titleist T100 (5-PW), paired with True Temper XP 115 shafts. The Titleist 718 T-MB irons retail for around $1,299 for a set of 7, while the Titleist T100 irons are priced at around $1,499 for a set of 7. With this impressive setup, it’s no wonder Kim’s been playing some of the best golf of his life.

What else does Kim carry with him on the fields? Let’s find out, shall we?
