Two tournaments, two winners – and two completely different bags. Scottie Scheffler and Patrick Reed show that success in golf comes in many forms.
With two different tours, two different winners, and two different bags, American golfers Scottie Scheffler and Patrick Reed, both discovering golf in Texas during high school, share few similarities in their club choices despite their achievements. Scheffler, the 20-time PGA Tour winner from New Jersey, trusts a new partner off the tee: the TaylorMade Qi4D driver, replacing his previous two-year run with the TaylorMade Qi10. This new driver, not yet available for retail but expected from January 2026, features an aerodynamically optimized clubhead and carbon technology designed to increase forgiveness on off-center hits.
Patrick Reed from San Antonio, Texas, switched drivers mid-2024 from Ping to the Titleist GT3. This driver offers adjustable weighting for swing customization, with Reed praising its ability to generate more speed and straighter flight even on imperfect hits.
Fairway Woods: Same Brand, Different Details
Both use TaylorMade fairway woods, but differ in models: Reed plays the TaylorMade Qi35 with a 15° 3-wood and a Callaway Apex Pro Hybrid at 18°. Scheffler uses the Qi10 3-wood at 15° loft and the newer Qi4D 7-wood at 21°. Reed occasionally includes the 2016 Titleist 716 T-MB utility iron depending on course conditions.
Muscle Back vs. Custom Design: Comparing Iron Sets
In irons, both favor low loft models with a 4-iron: Scheffler uses the Srixon ZU85, Reed the Grindworks PR-202. Scheffler’s main set from 5-PW is TaylorMade’s P7TW, designed with Tiger Woods, focusing on precision and feel. Reed stays loyal to the custom-fit Grindworks PR-101A irons developed to correct his left ball flight tendencies.
Known for his short game, Reed uses a mix of Titleist and Cleveland wedges, including a Cleveland RTX6 Tour Rack (52°) and Titleist Vokey SM10 (56°, 60°) on Dynamic Gold shafts. Scheffler carries Vokey wedges too: SM8 (50°, 56°) and WedgeWorks 60°, also on Dynamic Gold shafts.
WITB: Mallet vs. Classic Blade
In the putters, Scheffler chooses the TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet, popular on the PGA Tour and used by Rory McIlroy. Reed opted in Dubai for the Scotty Cameron Tour Rat 1.5 Proto after previously using an Odyssey White Hot Pro #3, maintaining a classic blade style becoming less common in professional golf. Both use Titleist golf balls; Scheffler the Pro V1 and Reed the Pro V1x, differing mainly in flight and spin characteristics.
