What Irons Does Tiger Use? A Look At Tiger Woods’ Golf Clubs

Take an inside look at Tiger Woods’ golf clubs and find out what irons does Tiger use – including brands, models, shafts, and why he sticks to them.

Tiger Woods is a name that needs no introduction in the world of golf. He has won numerous tournaments and is considered one of the best-ever players in the game.

However, many may not know that Tiger is extremely particular about his iron setup. He dedicates significant time to testing various models and brands, searching for the perfect combination of feel, distance control, and accuracy.

Once he finds a set of irons that he likes the look and feel of, he sticks with them for an extended period of time, often for years. Let us take a sneak peek into Tiger Woods’ golf clubs.

I. What irons does Tiger use?

One of the keys to Tiger’s success on the course has been his exceptional iron play. Tiger has been loyal to TaylorMade irons. In fact, he has been using his current set since 2019. That is a long time for a professional golfer. 

1. Long irons (2,3) – TaylorMade P770

Tiger Woods doesn’t have a fixed set of golf clubs, as he customizes them based on the golf course he’s playing on. For example, he used more long irons for Southern Hills at the PGA Championship but opted for fairway woods at Augusta. 

However, Tiger prefers the P770 long irons, which provide a forged iron look and feel, but with game-improvement technology that enhances ball speed, launch, and distance consistency. 

He uses extra stiff shafts on his long irons to deliver a low launch with less spin, which helps optimize distance for golfers with faster swing speeds.

• Long irons: 2 iron and 3 iron.
• Brand: TaylorMade P770
• Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

2. Mid and short irons (4 iron to PW) – TaylorMade P7TW

Tiger Woods’ mid and short irons belong to the TaylorMade P7TW series, which comprises his 4-iron through pitching wedge. These irons feature a muscle back design and milled sole grind, delivering a soft, buttery feel and superior turf interaction to golfers.

• Mid-shot irons: 4 iron to PW
• Brand: TaylorMade P7TW
• Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

II. What’s in Bag? Tiger Woods’ Clubs At The 2023 Masters

For professional golfers, it’s always a good idea to have an optimal set of golf clubs that provides the best chances of success on the course. With players like Tiger Woods around, it’s not surprising that many golfers look to their gear for inspiration. While it is evident that Tiger relies on TaylorMade’s irons, he also has several other clubs in his bag. Below are the details related to the golf clubs that are used by Tiger Woods at the 2023 Masters:

1. Driver Tiger Woods Uses – TaylorMade Stealth Plus

Tiger Woods uses the TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver, featuring the stiffest golf shaft available, the Mitsubishi Diamana D + Limited 70 TX, designed for golfers with faster swing speeds. 

Tiger’s driver has a lower launch angle, which helps him achieve superior control and distance off the tee, but requires a more precise swing and strike. His choice of driver and meticulous fine-tuning of its features reflects his attention to detail and determination to optimize every aspect of his game to achieve the best possible results.

• Driver: TaylorMade Stealth Plus
• Loft Angle: 9 degrees
• Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60 TX

2. Fairway Woods (3,5) – TaylorMade Stealth Plus

Tiger Woods’ current fairway wood set consists of a 3-wood and 5-wood from the TaylorMade Stealth series.

The 15-degree 3-wood is fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60TX shaft, similar to his driver. This combination allows for a low launch and moderate spin with added forgiveness.

His 19-degree 5-wood also features the same Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited shaft but with a higher stiffness rating of 80TX. This club is designed for a low launch and offers some forgiveness to promote consistency in his long game.

However, during the 2022 PGA Championship, Tiger may have replaced his Stealth Plus 5-wood with a P770 2-iron. This change suggests that Tiger is constantly evaluating and fine-tuning his equipment to achieve optimal performance on the course.

Here is a glance at Tiger’s fairway wood golf clubs

Club	Loft	Shaft	Brand/Model
3 wood	15 degrees	Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60 TX	TaylorMade Stealth Plus
5 wood	19 degrees	Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80 TX	TaylorMade Stealth Plus

3. Wedges Golf Set – TaylorMade MG3 Raw TW Grind

Tiger Woods uses TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 (MG3) wedges, including a P7TW pitching wedge, a 56-degree sand wedge with a heel-heavy dual sole, and a 60-degree lob wedge with a high-bounce sole for flop shots. The raw face grind on the MG3 TW wedges provides added control and spin for his short game.

• Wedges: TaylorMade MG3 TW
• Loft Angle: 56° sand wedge and 60° lob wedge
• Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

4. Putter – Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS (Ping PP58 Grip)

Tiger Woods uses the Scotty Cameron GSS Newport 2 putter, which is the only non-TaylorMade club in his bag. The classic blade design putter has a milled face that provides an excellent feel, immediate forward roll, and topspin.

Due to his back problems after his accident, Tiger extended the Scotty Cameron putter shaft from 35 ¼ to 35 ½ inches to prevent bending over too far. This new length is the same as his sand wedge, which he uses in putting drills to hit the ball on its equator. 

What clubs are Tiger Woods using at the Master Since 2020?
