A low-spin rocket launcher for a guy who hits fairways like it’s a personal vendetta. The Qi35 LS is all business, and Morikawa’s setup is about as tour-pro as it gets.

Collin Morikawa: The Silent Assassin of Augusta

Collin Morikawa might not rip his shirt off after a birdie or scream into the camera like a WWE wrestler trapped in a Taylormade hat commercial—but make no mistake, the man is lethal. He’s the guy who shows up at your member-guest, smiles politely, and then takes all your money without saying a word.

Born in Los Angeles and a product of Cal Berkeley, Morikawa burst onto the PGA Tour in 2019 like a well-dressed assassin. Smooth swing, elite ball-striking, and nerves of absolute titanium. Since then, he’s racked up two major championships and about a billion “that swing tho” Instagram comments.

But when it comes to The Masters, Augusta has played hard-to-get with Collin. He’s teed it up a few times with solid-but-not-spectacular results: T44 in 2020, T18 in 2021, T14 in 2022, and a T10 in 2023. He’s been inching closer like a silent ninja sneaking up on Amen Corner.

His Augusta journey has been a masterclass in patience. Morikawa has the iron game to dominate those slick greens and tight pin placements. The question has always been: can he get hot with the flatstick when it counts? So far, Augusta’s greens have looked at him and said, “Not today, sweetheart.”

But this year? He’s trending. And if the putter even pretends to behave, Morikawa could walk out of there with a green jacket and a knowing smirk.

Collin Morikawa WITB 2024 – Tools of a Precision Killer

Driver: TaylorMade Qi35 LS 9°, Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60TX shaft
A low-spin rocket launcher for a guy who hits fairways like it’s a personal vendetta. The Qi35 LS is all business, and Morikawa’s setup is about as tour-pro as it gets.

3 Wood: TaylorMade SIM Ti Rocket 3 14°, Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80TX shaft
This thing is basically a stinger cannon. Morikawa uses it to pepper fairways, reach par-5s, or cause existential crises in playing partners.

5 Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 18°, Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80TX shaft
High launch, soft landings. Perfect for Augusta’s brutal second shots where you need to bring a ball in like a helicopter onto a postage stamp.

Irons: TaylorMade P770 (4), P7CB (5&6), P730 (7-PW), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts
This iron setup is pure wizardry. P770 for forgiveness, P7CB for control, P730 for surgical strikes. Paired with X100s for that extra thud.

Wedges: TaylorMade MG4 50° (SB09), 56° (LB08), 60° (11TW), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts
These wedges are sharp enough to shave with. Morikawa’s wedge game is tidy and tight—especially when Augusta’s asking the toughest questions.

Putter: TaylorMade TP Soto, SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 grip
Simple, clean, and deadly—if he can find the touch. This blade has seen hot streaks, but if it lights up for four days, Collin’s winning.

Ball: TaylorMade TP5x
Spin, feel, distance—all in one. Perfect for a guy who hits his 6-iron closer than you hit your wedges.

Grips: Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord
Firm and confident—like his handshake and his trajectory into major contention.

Collin Morikawa at the 2024 Masters – Green Jacket Loading...

Let’s be clear: Collin Morikawa is not a guy who needs the stars to align to win. He is the alignment. When his irons are locked in—and they usually are—he can dissect Augusta National like it’s a geometry test he already finished in his head.

In 2024, he enters the Masters looking as sharp as ever. His ball-striking remains elite. He’s top-10 on Tour in approach stats, and his dispersion patterns look like a game of darts played by a robot. His miss? Basically none. His miss is better than your center strike.

The big X-factor, as always, is the putter. If that TP Soto heats up, Morikawa instantly becomes the guy no one wants to chase. His Augusta history is one of slow, patient ascent. T44 to T10 in just three years? That’s not luck. That’s evolution. That’s the eye of a killer narrowing in on his next target.

And let’s not forget: Augusta rewards ball-strikers. It always has. Morikawa is cut from that cloth—more Hogan than Happy Gilmore. It’s only a matter of time before he slips into green silk. Maybe this is the year.

Expect a quiet confidence. Expect laser irons. Expect polite clapping from stunned crowds as he posts 68s like he’s flipping pancakes. And if the putter wakes up? Lord help the leaderboard.
