Most golf fans will agree that Sergio García is a legend of the game. With a career spanning more than 2 decades, Garcia has time and again shown he is a different breed. His LIV Golf signing bonus was rumored to be in the region of $40 million, which shows just how valuable the Saudi-backed league thinks he is for them. He won the LIV Golf Andalucía this July in the most dramatic fashion, making a comeback from 7 strokes down to defeat Anirban Lahiri.
And with the grand finale of the LIV Golf season fast approaching, Garcia will want to shake things up in the league standings, given that his team, Fireball GC, is currently placed 6th on the table with 112.83 points accumulated. Here’s a peek at his kitbag ahead of the 2024 LIV Golf Team Championship.

Garcia is known for his meticulous club selection and has never been afraid to experiment. But Taylormade seems to dominate his bag heading into the epic showdown in Dallas. For his driver, he chooses the $599.99 TaylorMade Qi10 Max driver with a 9˚ head, which is adjusted down to a loft of just over 7˚ with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7-X shaft. He has previously gone for drivers from PING and Titleist, too. With mini drivers becoming very popular recently, the Spaniard has chosen to place his trust in modernity by adding a $449.99 TaylorMade BRNR Copper mini-driver with a 13.5˚ loft to his collection. It is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7-X shaft as well. Garcia has made use of his mini driver on tight fairways where accuracy is key, like at the Valderrama.
As for his Fairway Woods, the 44-year-old chooses the $449.99 TaylorMade Qi10 Tour 5-Wood, also fitted with the Fujikura Ventus Black 8-X shaft. He used to have the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus but recently made the switch. TaylorMade’s Qi10 series is renowned for its technological advancement and futuristic design and helps gain power and precision in the fairway woods.
Garcia switched to an older setup for his irons, making use of the TaylorMade P770 3-iron and the TaylorMade P7MB. The clubs are customized with LA Golf shafts and custom ‘Sergio’ SuperStroke grips. The cost of the TaylorMade P770 irons (typically 3-PW) is around $1,224.99 to $1,499.99, and the TaylorMade P7MB set (3-PW) is around $1,399.99 to $1,599.99.

Sergio García’s wedges, putters, and other accessories
What’s your perspective on:
Can Sergio Garcia's gear choices give him the edge he needs to dominate the LIV Golf Championship?
Have an interesting take?
Priced at around $189.99 to $199.99 per club, the Titleist Vokey SM10 bent to 52˚ from 54˚ is the choice for Garcia, along with the SM9 WedgeWorks T-Grind, which is his 58˚ wedge. Costing around $225, the latter was sent to him by master wedge maker Aaron Dill. The T-Grind has been a prominent feature in Garcia’s past, with him using the grind in the 90s and early 2000s when he played with Titleist clubs.
As for his putter, Garcia has been experimenting with many models in the past, from custom Scotty Cameron putters to a Golfyr The Maker. But he has chosen the Never Compromise putter for now. While it is not a household name like Odessey or Scotty Cameron, the brand has gained a cult following for its unique balance of performance and feel. These putters are said to provide excellent feedback and improve control while playing. They can cost anywhere from $449.99 to $700.
