Looks like Scottie Scheffler is ready to add another PGA Tour win to his resume! From day one of the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational, the World No. 1 has put on an impressive display of golf and carded a 2 under 70 in round one. Scheffler further improved his momentum on day two by scoring a sub-70 and ending the round second with a 5 under 67.
Despite struggling on the course with his putting, the 27-year-old is at the top of the leaderboard, sharing the spot with Shane Lowry with a total score of 9 under 207 after the third round. Scheffler first paired up with TaylorMade in early 2022, and it looks like the Carlsbad-based brand will be seen in his golf bag for a while, as Scheffler signed a multi-year contract with the equipment brand at the beginning of 2024. So what are the pieces of equipment that World No. 1 has brought to the Bay Hill Golf Course?

For his Fairway Woods, Scheffler trusts the TaylorMade Qi10 with a 3-wood. It has the Fujikura Ventus Black 8 X shaft set at an angle of 15 degrees. This fairway Woods offers him long-range accuracy with the mid-spin that he requires. It comes at a cost of around $349.
The 27-year-old uses two irons, with his primary one being the Srixon Z U85 utility irons (3-4). This iron is fitted with a Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 Hybrid Prototype 10 X (3) shaft. The price for this one is set at around $119. Another addition to his iron setup is the TaylorMade P7TW. These clubs have a 5-PW (Pitching wedge range) giving him a superb flight with trajectory control for mid-range shots. It comes at an estimated cost of a whopping $1,999.
Which putter and wedges does Scheffler use?
Scheffler has a different choice when it comes to his wedges. He trusts the Titleist Vokey Design SM8 wedges that come at a loft of 50 and 56 degrees. This one is priced at a cost of around $139. Complementing his collection is the Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks Proto (60-06K, 60.5-T) with a shaft of True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400.

Putting is the only thing that has had the six-time PGA Tour winner for a long time. After trying the mallet putters to improve his putting, the six-time PGA Tour winner has now switched to the TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter that comes with a Golf Pride Pro Only grip. The putter costs an estimated $349.99. For the ball, the 27-year-old prefers the Titleist Pro V1 ball, which costs $55. Featuring a softer cast urethane elastomer cover, this ball is considerably the best one amongst all others.
