Matt Fitzpatrick claimed the 2025 DP World Tour Championship in Dubai using trusted clubs from Titleist, Ping, TaylorMade and a sharp Bettinardi putter.
The 2025 DP World Tour season concluded with the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, crowning two winners. Rory McIlroy secured the season-long Race to Dubai title, while England’s Matt Fitzpatrick triumphed in the final tournament. Fitzpatrick edged out McIlroy in a thrilling playoff, sealing victory with a par against McIlroy’s bogey on the first extra hole. A look into Fitzpatrick’s bag reveals a mix of classic equipment choices and a bold putter switch that paid off.
Driver and Fairway Woods: Speed and Forgiveness
Off the tee, Fitzpatrick trusts a Titleist GT3 driver with 9° loft. Despite its motorsport-sounding name, GT3 stands for Generational Technology. This driver is one of the first in Titleist’s lineup to feature a non-titanium crown, using a thermoformed matrix polymer that is three times lighter than titanium. The result is improved mass distribution and a higher MOI, catering to players seeking speed and forgiveness without sacrificing Titleist’s signature feel and sound.
For fairway woods, Fitzpatrick opts for TaylorMade’s Qi-35 series, carrying a 15° 3-wood and an 18° 5-wood. Known for their low-profile versatility, these clubs perform well both off the tee and from the turf. Designed for maximum ball speed, stability, and consistent performance, they proved reliable tools in Fitzpatrick’s Dubai victory.
Irons and Wedges: Blending Old and New
Fitzpatrick’s iron setup includes a Ping i230 4-iron and Ping S55 irons from 5-PW. Though the S55 series dates back to 2013, it remains a favorite among tour players for its compact design and forgiveness. Fitzpatrick continues to rely on these trusted irons for precision and control.
His wedge selection features Titleist Vokey SM10 models with varied sole grinds. The 46.1° and 52.12° wedges use the F grind, a tour-favorite all-rounder. The 56.08° and 60.08° wedges feature the M grind, favored by designer Bob Vokey for players who manipulate the clubface to shape shots.
Putter and Ball: Bettinardi Precision
Fitzpatrick used a Yes Tracy II putter from age 16 until switching to Bettinardi in 2021 after an extensive design process. Bettinardi crafted 25 prototypes before Fitzpatrick settled on the BB1 ‘Fitz’ model. In late August 2025, during the Omega European Masters, he transitioned to the DASS BB48 Prototype mallet. Known for his precision within 3 meters, Fitzpatrick remains one of the best putters on tour. Bettinardi, founded in 1998 by Bob Bettinardi near Chicago, continues to produce high-quality, precision-milled putters in the USA.
