Will Zalatoris What's In The Bag? 2025 Update

Will Zalatoris has had a fast start to his career out on Tour, shooting up the world golf rankings and almost winning the 2021 Masters as a relative unknown. His first (and so far only) PGA Tour win came at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in August 2022.

His play in Major Championships in particular has been stellar, but his career was interrupted when he was forced to undergo back surgery that caused him to miss most of 2023. He made his return in 2024 but understandably it wasn’t his best year, but he will be hoping to make up for lost time in 2025 and force his way onto the US Ryder Cup team for Bethpage.

Zalatoris is a Titleist player and plays a full back of Titleist clubs with one notable exception, so let’s get into it and find out.

Driver

What Driver Does Will Zalatoris Use?

As mentioned, Zalatoris has a full bag of Titleist gear, with his driver of choice being the new GT2 model (9°), which he has put in the bag for this year to replace the TSR2 model.

In our view the GT2 is one of the best golf drivers that you will find on the market currently. The retention of ball speed particularly when struck low on the face is very impressive and the clean looks will please Titleist loyalists everywhere. The technology behind the improved feel and acoustics is sure to make this a very popular model.

Interestingly, Zalatoris has revealed how he has returned to a 44.5-inch shaft (Fujikura Ventus TR Black 7 X), trading some distance off the tee with improved accuracy.

"I would love to go back to that 46, just to add another 12, 15 yards, but I never really was that great with hitting fairways, and so far, so good with hitting fairways," he said of the change. "In reality, even though I'm losing distance, I'm hitting more fairways, so I'm kind of netting everything out."

Fairway Woods

What Fairway Wood Does Will Zalatoris Use?

Staying at the top end of the bag, no change for this year as Zalatoris is still playing a Titleist TSi2 fairway wood. This is a model that we love because it’s long and very easy to launch. It has a compact head, which might make it a little intimidating for higher handicap players and this is very much one for the more confident player. Zalatoris clearly likes the look and feel of this club as it's been in the bag for some time.

Zalatoris' fairway has 15° of loft and is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 8 X shaft.

Irons

What Irons Does Will Zalatoris Use?

When it comes to his irons, Zalatoris is very particular and knows exactly what he requires from each club. As such, his irons are a mix of three different models. His 3-iron is a Titleist T350 with a Nippon N.S. Pro Prototype shaft. Moving on to the 4-iron and he has the T200 model with a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft, and then from 5-PW he uses a set of T150, again with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100.

While Zalatoris is one of the premier ball strikers on tour, his choice of irons show that he is quite pragmatic. Whereas the Titleist T150 irons are a popular model with better players and are among the best irons for low handicappers, the T350 is a club that gives plenty of help. It’s a super stable game improvement iron that offers impressive, feel, forgiveness and flight; it's a club that offers Zalatoris another option off the tee, perhaps when it's imperative that he finds the fairway. You'll find these clubs on our list of the best game improvement irons.

Wedges

What Wedges Does Will Zalatoris Use?

Onto wedges now, and whereas auite a few Tour players will stick to a certain model of wedge and not tinker too much with the bottom end of their bag, Zalatoris wasted no time getting the latest Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges (50-08F, 54-10S @55, 60-04T) in his bag. These wedges are fitted with the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft.

Many players have stayed in the SM9 model but in our testing we noted some subtle yet effective changes that have been made to the SM10. Spin is higher, launch is lower plus there is longer groove life and improved feel. Vokey wedges have been a popular model for many a year with club golfers and Tour pros alike, and they feature on our list of the best golf wedges.

It appears as though Zalatoris has his wedges personalised with his initials. In the past, he got Happy Gilmore related stampings because of how much he looks like a character from the movie. We're not sure if this is still the case.

Putter

What Putter Does Will Zalatoris Use?

The one club in the bag that isn’t Titleist is the putter, which many would regard as the only real weakness in the American’s game. Statistically he isn’t a bad putter, but the eye test often tells a different story. Zalatoris has his own way of putting, specifically on short putts, and his stroke has drawn a lot of criticism in the past. He has admitted that it's not the best-looking or the most effective stroke at times, but it's an area of the game where he does appear to be making progress.

Having previously used an armlock putter, Zalataoris switched to the L.A.B. Golf Mezz. 1 Max broomstick putter, which has a Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord. Adam Scott and Lucas Glover also use this model, and Zalatoris has spoken of how the broomstick has helped him to take his hands out of the stroke.

We tested the L.A.B. Golf Mezz. 1 Max, although not the broomstick model, and we found it a pleasure to use. L.A.B. putters are designed to remove torque in the stroke and to keep the putter square through impact. If you are struggling on the greens you should think about giving L.A.B. a try.

Ball

What Golf Ball Does Will Zalatoris Use?

Much like a great number of other tour pros, Zalatoris plays a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball. The latest iteration delivers in all areas of the game, and is undoubtedly one of the best premium golf balls on the market. During testing, we noticed a jump in ball speed off the tee which, combined with a strong flight, offered superb distance. That this didn’t come at the cost of short game control was a big win.

Apparel/Shoes

What Shoes Does Will Zalatoris Wear?

Zalatoris wears FootJoy clothing and Premiere Series Packard shoes. The shoe is inspired by Frederick Packard, FootJoy’s founder and a shoe pioneer who drove the adoption of many modern manufacturing and design innovations that are still used today. He occasionally wears the Field design, too.
