What makes Tiger Woods’ game so legendary? Everyone has their theories, but let’s be real—along with his impeccable golfing skills, it’s got to be the gear, right? Over the years, Woods’ bag has seen some iconic setups. Back in the day, he started out with Titleist, Cobra, and Mizuno clubs. Then Nike, his apparel partner, decided to make golf clubs, and Woods was all in.
That partnership rolled on until 2016 when Nike decided to step away from the golf equipment game. With that chapter closed, Tiger needed a fresh setup. By January 2017, he’d found his match with TaylorMade, and as one would expect, that made waves in the golf world. To top it off, Rory McIlroy joined the TaylorMade family just a few months later, making it quite the power lineup.
Fast forward to 2024, and while Woods hasn’t been on the course as much, every time he shows up, people can’t help but ask: What’s he playing with these days? Let’s take a peek at what Mr. T’s got in his bag.

What does Woods use for the long-form game?
At the start of 2024, Woods made a switch, putting the new TaylorMade Qi10 driver in his bag, replacing his Stealth model. He opted for the Qi10 LS version, known for its low-spin characteristics, paired with a 9° loft adjusted to 7.5° and a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft. The driver is priced around $529.99, and the shaft adds another $119 to the total. The Qi10 driver comes with a 60X Carbon Twist Face, which is lighter than your typical titanium setup. That means better energy transfer and extra ball speed. Plus, the Infinity Carbon Crown covers 97% of the top, making room for added forgiveness where it counts.
Alongside that, he also added the Qi10 Tour 3-wood to his setup but stuck with his trusty M5 5-wood. For his fairway woods, Woods uses the TaylorMade Qi Tour 15° Fairway Wood, which is listed for about $399.99. Pair that with the Graphite Design Tour AD VF 7 X shaft, priced around $379.00, and you’re looking at a total of $780.00. The Qi Tour fairway wood nails the sweet spot between distance and forgiveness. With a lower center of gravity and higher moment of inertia, it’s built to keep Woods’ shots long and steady.
Additionally, he also plays the TaylorMade M3 fairway wood, with the head priced around $199.99 and the Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited Edition shaft going for about $300.00, making the total for that setup around $499.99.
For his irons, Woods trusts the TaylorMade P770 2023 3-iron, which goes for $174.99. And for his iron set, he’s got the TaylorMade P7TW (4-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts, a setup that’ll cost you around $1,203.99. The P770 irons are all about that sleek, compact players’ shape—thinner topline, less offset, the works. They bring a solid mix of distance, forgiveness, and feeling to the table. With their hollow body design and forged L-face, they’re built to boost ball speed while keeping things super playable. Perfect for Woods when precision meets power.

Short game is often the deciding factor in golf, and Tiger Woods knows this well, which is why he’s always equipped with top-of-the-line gear. For wedges, Woods uses the TaylorMade MG4 Raw (56-12TW), priced at $199.99, and the TaylorMade MG4 Raw (60-11TW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts. These wedges come with a raw face design that intentionally rusts over time—pretty cool, right? It’s all about dialing up the spin and feel, making them perfect for those tricky shots around the greens.

When it comes to putting, he relies on the Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS prototype, which costs $449.00, paired with a Ping PP58 grip priced at $24.99. This putter is all about precision and feel—perfectly milled to give Woods the kind of control on the greens that makes those clutch putts look effortless.
His ball of choice is the Bridgestone Tour B X, available for $44.99 per dozen, designed for top-notch performance on the greens. For added comfort and control, Woods uses Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord 58R grips. His glove and apparel are both from Sun Day Red, keeping his fashion and game on point, from head to toe, on the course.
