The 2024 season of the PGA Tour is kicking off with the Sentry. The PGAT’s first calendar event is filled with 59 players duking it out for the top spot. And among those players is Collin Morikawa. In October, Morikawa won the Zozo Championship, ending a 27-month winless drought on the PGA Tour.
Now he would be looking to start his 2024 season strong with a win at the Sentry. To do so, he has a bag full of clubs from TaylorMade Golf. Will the 26-year-old grab the trophy with this bag? That is still up in the air. But what’s inside the bag is out in the open.
