Matt Fitzpatrick What’s In The Bag? 2025 Update

Matt Fitzpatrick What's In The Bag?

European Ryder Cup star and all around good egg Matt Fitzpatrick was a perennial winner on the DP World Tour before making the move to the PGA Tour and elevating himself into one of the world's best players. He has two wins across the pond including the 2022 US Open and will be looking to add to that in 2025.

Fitzpatrick is a free agent when it comes the golf equipment, which means he can fill his bag with whatever clubs he likes, which always makes the “what’s in the bag?” Question much more interesting. When a player is affiliated to a certain brand their choices are limited, but in the case of Fitzpatrick he literally has his pick of any club out there, meaning it’s a feather in the cap of whatever brand he chooses. Unsurprisingly then, there are a few brands represented in his setup, so let's take a look at what's in the bag of Matt Fitzpatrick.

Driver

What Driver does Matt Fitzpatrick use?

Fitzpatrick uses a Titleist driver having switched in 2021 from the trusty TaylorMade M2 driver which had been part of his setup for many years. He now uses a Titleist TSi3 driver which is a better fit for him since making some subtle swing changes in a bid to gain more distance, which he did quite spectacularly, adding 10 yards to his average driving distance in the space of a couple of years. The swing changes and increase in speed meant that he basically outgrew his driver and needed to switch.

The transformation into one of the longest hitters on tour was testament to his hard work and relentless desire to improve and find any edge possible. He now has a slightly wider stance which allows him use the ground more, and he has started flaring his front foot so it’s pointing more towards his target (which in turn allows him to release his hips more on the downswing). Fitzpatrick has also worked with the Stack Golf system - a training aid designed to help golfers gain swing speed through a series of over speed training.

At the 2024 BMW Championship in Colorado, Fitzpatrick's driver actually cracked while playing the final round but he has since replaced it with a new TSi3 head. Speaking to Golf Monthly, the Englishman said "I have back up heads both on the tour truck in Europe and the US, as well as some at my home in the US as well." It looks as though Matt doesn't plan on changing out of this driver any time soon as he has retained it for the 2025 season.

As for the rest of his driver set up, for a long time Fitzpatrick had played a Graphite Design shaft in his driver but he has since switched into the counterbalance Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei AV Raw Orange 65 TX shaft, which is ideal for golfers like himself who load the shaft aggressively in transition. While there are new Titleist driver models on the market, this is very much a case of "if it isn't broke, don't try and fix it". The TSi3 may be a few years old, but it is still one the best Titleist drivers, and clearly a match for any of the best drivers out there currently, as Fitzpatrick is not obligated to use it and so could easily switch if there was anything better out there.

Fairways

What Fairway Wood does Matt Fitzpatrick use?

When it comes to the fairway woods, it’s a similar story as Fitzpatrick once again carries an older Titleist fairway 3-wood model - the TSi2. Fitzpatrick prioritises forgiveness in this department, as this fairway wood boasts a larger footprint than the TSi3 fairway wood and is naturally more forgiving. We tested this fairway wood extensively and it proved to be very consistent with launch and spin. Once again, Fitzpatrick powers his Titleist TSi2 fairway wood with the same Tensei Orange shaft found in his driver. He plays this fairway wood in the B1 setting on the hosel, which is standard loft but a slightly more flat lie angle than standard.

In addition to his 3-wood, ‘Fitz’ also uses a Titleist TSR2 hybrid lofted down a little. He previously has gamed a 7-wood which was a constant in his bag but recently switched into the hybrid and he claims his stats have proven it was the right move for him. We may see the 7-wood again depending on course requirements, and he has even occasionally used a 9-wood too. Mostly though it’s the TSi2 3-wood and TSR2 hybrid combo.

Irons

What Irons does Matt Fitzpatrick Use?

As we stated above Fitzpatrick is a free agent with the flexibility to use whatever clubs he likes, yet he has been using Ping irons since turning professional and once again he is not one for switching from something he feels comfortable with. The major golf brands tend to bring out new irons each year, but Fitzpatrick games a set of Ping S55 irons (from five-iron down to pitching wedge) which he has used since 2015. So 10 years old this year! His four-iron has recently changed though from a Titleist T100 to a Ping i210 model.

It’s not that he is completely wedded to the S55s as he has flirted with other irons and actually switched into a set of the Ping Blueprint irons for part of 2024, but the Sheffield born major champion has now gone back to his old faithfuls, telling Golf Monthly, “I’m glad I went through that trial period and I’m very comfortable going back to where I was”. The S55s are an iron best suited to more accomplished players looking for a compact set that also features more forgiveness than you might expect from the blade-like design. All of Fitzpatrick’s irons are fitted with Ping CFS X (115G) shafts.

Wedges

What Wedges does Matt Fitzpatrick use?

Fitzpatrick carries four wedges, all Titleist Vokeys but not the same model. Again, he hasn’t opted for the newest models on the market as he carries two of the extremely popular Titleist Vokey SM9s - the 46 and 52 degree options, as well as two of the newer Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges (56° and 60°). We have tested both and found there to be very little difference between them. Both the SM10 and the SM9 wedges are very easy to square-up on full shots and deliver excellent consistency of spin and flight from closer to the green.

The SM10 is certainly a case of evolution rather than revolution from the SM9, although Titleist says it has developed the groundbreaking Progressive Centre of Gravity (CG) design to improve distance and trajectory control. The SM10 wedges are widely known as some of the best wedges on the market but also one of the best wedges for chipping. Interestingly, Fitzpatrick has switched to a cross handed grip for chipping and seen good results. That’s a grip often used for putting but it far less common when chipping.

Putter

What Putter does Matt Fitzpatrick  use?

Fitzpatrick is widely regarded as one of the best putters in the world and he is very particular about the type of flagstick he uses. For many years his putter was a Yes! Golf Tracy II but at the end of 2020 he signed a putter contract with Bettinardi and now plays a DASS BB1 Fitz prototype made by the American company. However, although technically he switched, the Bettinardi is pretty much a carbon copy of the Yes! Golf model, other then the personalised Sheffield United stamping and branding touches.The BB1 is one of the best Bettinardi putters and is a blade design suited to the more skilled player.

When Joe Ferguson spoke to Matt about his switch to this new putter he said: "I'd bought numerous Yes! putters online but my putting coach Phil Kenyon noticed the backline actually pointed slightly to the right. I would line the putter up and the face would aim left, so I would hit good putts but they would miss left.

Bettinardi got in touch with my dad quite a few years ago now, about seven or eight years that relationship has been going for and eventually they went at it for me and did a great job."

Ball

What Golf Ball does Matt Fitzpatrick use?

Like a great many tour pros, Matt used uses the iconic Titleist Pro V1x, which is one of the best golf balls on the market. Interestingly though, as with many of his clubs he is still using an older model. He did briefly switch into the 2021 Pro V1x, but soon reverted back to the 2019 Pro V1x, a ball that he'd seen a lot of success with. This is more common than you think as players will use older balls if they have seen success, or if they are more comfortable with the spin or launch it produces. This is a ball that received five stars in our review and it is an excellent all-rounder, as you would expect. We were particularly impressed by the improved ball flight in the long game which didn’t come at the cost of any short game control or feel.

Apparel/Shoes

What Shoes does Matt Fitzpatrick wear?

Fitzpatrick signed to wear Skechers golf shoes in 2022 and now also wears the brand's apparel too. Skechers are a brand that specialise in comfort, specifically in the heel and sole. Fitzpatrick’s shoe of choice last year was the Skechers Pro 5 Hyper shoe, a technology packed spiked golf shoe that delivers on Skechers renowned comfort thanks to some excellent proprietary technology. He has since switched to the Skechers Go Golf Blade Slip Ins shoes, which is up there as one of the best Skechers golf shoes and in our view is one of the most comfortable golf shoes money can buy.
