So, I got thinking about Padraig Harrington the other day. Saw him playing, still striping it, and you know how it goes, I got curious about what gear he’s actually got in the bag these days. He’s been around forever, seen a lot of equipment changes, so I wondered what he’s settled on.
First thing I did was just jump online. Started searching around, you know, “Padraig Harrington what’s in the bag,” that sort of thing. Went through a few golf websites, forums, even tried looking at recent tournament photos. Sometimes you can get a good look if you zoom in enough, but man, the pictures aren’t always clear.
It wasn’t super straightforward, gotta say. Different places had slightly different lists. And these guys, they tinker constantly, right? Especially with wedges, maybe the putter, depending on the course or how they’re feeling. One week it might be one thing, the next it’s slightly different. Makes it a bit of a moving target trying to figure out the exact setup.
Anyway, after poking around for a while, comparing a few sources, watching some swing clips where you could kinda see the clubs, I think I got a pretty good handle on his typical setup. It’s not gospel, mind you, things change, but this seems to be the core of it based on what I could dig up.
Driver and Woods
He seems to be using a Titleist driver, maybe the TSi3 model? Hard to tell for sure from the pictures I saw. Then for fairway woods, looked like maybe a TaylorMade in there, possibly an older model like a SIM or Stealth? He also sometimes swaps a wood out for a Wilson Staff utility iron, which isn’t surprising, gives him options.
Irons
This was clearer. Definitely Wilson Staff Blades. He’s been a Wilson guy for ages. They look like proper butter knives, the kind you need to be a great ball-striker to hit well. Looked like he carries them from maybe the 4-iron down to the pitching wedge.
Wedges
For the scoring clubs, seemed like he relies on Titleist Vokey wedges. Most pros do, feels like. Probably got a couple, maybe like a 52-degree and a 58 or 60-degree? This is probably the part of the bag he swaps around the most depending on the course conditions.
Putter
Putter spotting is always tricky. He’s used a bunch over his career. Lately, though, the word is he’s been using an Odyssey putter. One of those Stroke Lab ones, possibly a mallet shape. Seems to be working for him on the greens.
So yeah, that’s the gist of what I found digging around. Like I said, could be slightly different tomorrow, but that seems to be the main stuff Harrington trusts right now. Just thought I’d share what I pieced together.
