From driver to putter: We take a look inside Justin Rose’s bag and reveal the clubs that helped him achieve a record win at Torrey Pines.
Even at 45 years old, Englishman Justin Rose dominated his competitors at Torrey Pines during the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour. With a seven-stroke lead and a tournament record of 23 under par, the South African-born player secured his first title of the season. A look into his bag shows a versatile selection of clubs that match his impressive play in Southern California.
Justin Rose’s Choice of Driver: Callaway
Starting off from the tee, Justin Rose uses a Callaway driver equipped with a 9° loft. The Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max is a high-performance club designed for experienced players seeking maximum control, a compact head shape, and low spin, while still benefiting from the forgiving features of the \”Max\” design. It combines tour-proven performance with enhanced stability through the Ai Smart Face, which utilizes real player data to optimize the face and create multiple \”sweet spots\” across its surface. This technology stabilizes spin and launch angles on off-center hits. At the Farmers Insurance Open, Rose achieved a maximum drive distance of 352 yards (about 322 meters) with this driver.
Fairway Woods for Every Shot
Complementing his driver, Rose carries a 3-wood from TaylorMade named the M6. This club has a 15° loft and features Twist-Face technology similar to the M5 series, providing explosive shots both from the fairway and the tee. An advancement of the Speed Pocket design, a cutout in the sole, allows the ball to accelerate even on low-face hits. The Speed Pocket increases the flexibility of the clubface, enhances the trampoline effect at impact, and transfers more energy to a larger portion of the ball’s surface. The result is higher, longer shots with less distance loss on mishits.
Rose also includes a 7-wood from TaylorMade with a 21° loft, ideal for mid- to long-range approach shots. Its high ball flight promotes soft landings on the green and performs especially well from rough terrain. This is the new QiD4 model from TaylorMade, recently introduced but already popular among touring pros.
Irons That Combine Control and Feel
For irons, Rose selects either a 4- or 5-iron utility club from the Japanese manufacturer Miura, specifically the TC-502 series, depending on course conditions. For his regular irons (6-PW), he uses Miura MC-502 irons. The key difference between the two series is that the TC models are tour cavity irons, while the MC models are muscle cavity irons. Muscle-back irons (blades) offer maximum control and intense ball feel through compact heads but require precise strikes. Cavity-back irons (often labeled as \”tour cavity\” for better players) feature a cavity behind the clubface that shifts weight to the perimeter, providing greater forgiveness, a lower center of gravity, and higher ball flights.
When it comes to wedges, Rose trusts clubs from the traditional manufacturer Titleist. He uses either Vokey Design SM10 wedges with 52
