Hudson Swafford What's In The Bag?

Hudson Swafford What's In The Bag?

A three-time winner on the PGA Tour, Swafford's first win came at the 2017 CareerBuilder Challenge and he followed that three and a half years later with a win at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship. Below we have taken a look at the clubs he uses out on Tour.

Hudson Swafford What's In The Bag?

Driver

TaylorMade Stealth

Swafford has a very interesting mix of golf clubs in the bag at the moment. He has several brands represented from TaylorMade to Scotty Cameron. He starts with a TaylorMade Stealth driver which is interestingly the regular version and not the Plus model that many other Tour professionals have put in - for example Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa. Swafford's had been using the SIM2 and SIM models for a while but now has the Stealth in with nine degrees of loft. 

Fairways

Ping i25

He then carries two Ping i25 fairway woods with 14 and 18 degrees of loft. The i25 came out back in 2015 and found its way into a lot of professional golf bags because of its taller face and lower centre of gravity which increased ball speed and helped reduce spin for added distance. Unlike most players though, Swafford has kept them in his setup which just shows how much he trusts the model. We have noticed a lot of Tour players using older models of fairway wood because it is the most difficult club to get right in the bag.

Irons

PXG 0311 ST Gen3, PXG 0311 ST Gen4

Swafford was then using a set of Ping S55's for a long time but right now he has put in two different PXG irons in the bag. His four and five-irons are both PXG 0311 ST GEN3's whilst the rest of his irons, from six-iron down to nine-iron, are PXG 0311 ST GEN4's. All of them are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. On the PXG website, Swafford said of the setup; "PXG Tour team has really worked well with me to create a sole for my new irons to make them a perfect fit for me."

Wedges

PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy, Titleist Vokey Design SM8 WedgeWorks

Swafford is one of a few players to use four specialist wedges at the moment, swapping out his PXG pitching wedge for a PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy 46 degree model. He then carries two more of the wedge, with 50 and 56 degrees of loft whilst his lob wedge is a Titleist Vokey SM8 WedgeWorks model which are very popular out on Tour.

Putter

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7.5 Tour Prototype

Swafford is a tried and tested mallet guy and as a result he has got a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7.5 Tour Prototype in the bag at the moment, moving away from the TaylorMade Spider X, and Fastback Scotty Cameron he was using in 2021. 

Ball

Titleist Pro V1

Finally he uses a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball too. One of the best golf balls money can buy, the Pro V1 provides superb all-round performance with impressive distance in the long game, excellent control into the greens and high levels of consistency throughout with a soft feel.
