Collin Morikawa WITB (4th January 2025) - What's In The Bag? The Sentry @ Kapalua Plantation Course

Collin Morikawa’s 2025 bag represents a fascinating evolution from his previous setups, blending new tech with familiar favorites. Let’s break it down - BOSH!

January 04, 2025

Wedges: TaylorMade MG4 (50°-SB09, 56°-LB08, 60°-11TW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts

Who is Collin Morikawa?

Collin Morikawa is golf's golden boy with the precision of a surgeon, the calm of a monk, and the smile of a toothpaste commercial. Born on February 6, 1997, in Los Angeles, California, he skyrocketed onto the golf scene like a perfectly struck 7-iron. A product of the University of California, Berkeley, where he was a five-time collegiate winner, Morikawa made a seamless transition from amateur standout to PGA Tour superstar.

Morikawa’s game is built around one thing: precision. His iron play is considered among the best in modern golf, earning him comparisons to Tiger Woods during his early years. His calm demeanor on the course hides a fiery competitor, capable of dismantling the best fields in golf with clinical efficiency.

Edgy? Sure. Morikawa is a walking paradox: soft-spoken off the course but ruthlessly efficient between the ropes. His killer instinct earned him a PGA Championship in 2020—at only 23 years old—and an Open Championship in 2021. Who else calls their shot on a par-4, drives the green, and drains a putt to seal a major? Morikawa does, and he makes it look easy.

Beyond the trophies, Morikawa represents golf’s next-gen: young, driven, and marketing gold. His sponsors include TaylorMade, Adidas, and Rolex, all vying to associate with his polished image. But don’t mistake the corporate shine for a lack of substance; his game is as pure as a striped fairway drive.

Collin Morikawa’s Golf Bag and Equipment

Collin Morikawa’s 2025 bag represents a fascinating evolution from his previous setups, blending new tech with familiar favorites. Let’s break it down:

Driver: TaylorMade Qi35 LS 9° with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60 TX (45 inches) shaft

Morikawa’s switch to the Qi35 LS reflects his desire for lower spin and more forgiveness off the tee. This driver offers a combination of workability and stability, perfect for his precision-first game. The Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited shaft is a familiar favorite, offering a trusted profile with just enough stiffness to optimize speed and control.

3 Wood: TaylorMade SIM Ti Rocket 3 14° with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80 TX shaft

Collin retains his trusty SIM Ti Rocket 3 wood, a club that’s been in his bag for years. The low-profile head and penetrating ball flight suit his ability to attack par-5s with laser precision. The Diamana D+ Limited 80 TX shaft provides added heft and stability for high-speed swings.

5 Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 18° with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80 TX shaft

Replacing the SIM Max 5-wood, the Qi10 is a welcome addition for 2025. This club delivers versatility for long approaches and is perfect for the kind of precision shaping that defines Morikawa’s style.

Irons: TaylorMade P770 (4i), P7CB (4i, 5i, 6i), P730 (7i-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts (4i-PW)

Morikawa’s iron setup is an intricate mix of precision and playability. The P770 offers forgiveness in his long irons, while the P7CB ensures control in his mid-irons. The P730 blades remain his go-to for short irons, highlighting his unmatched ball-striking. True Temper X100 shafts provide a consistent, tour-proven feel.

Wedges: TaylorMade MG4 (50°-SB09, 56°-LB08, 60°-11TW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts

Morikawa’s wedge game has seen subtle changes, with the MG4 offering sharper grooves and better spin control. The 11TW (Tiger Woods grind) lob wedge reflects his focus on finesse and versatility in tight lies.

Putter: TaylorMade TP Soto with a SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 grip

Morikawa's putter switch to the TP Soto in 2025 emphasizes feel and alignment. Paired with the SuperStroke grip, this setup aims to improve consistency on the greens—a weak spot in his otherwise impeccable game.

Ball & Grips: TaylorMade TP5x with Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord grips

The TP5x ball provides Morikawa with the perfect mix of speed and spin, while the Z-Grip Cord grips offer maximum traction, crucial for his meticulous grip and swing.

Collin Morikawa’s Biography and Career Highlights

Morikawa burst onto the PGA Tour in 2019, winning the Barracuda Championship in just his sixth professional start. But it was 2020 that solidified his superstar status. His PGA Championship win at TPC Harding Park showcased not just his skill but his flair for the dramatic. His drive on the par-4 16th will go down as one of the great shots in major history.

In 2021, Morikawa became the first player in history to win two different major debuts, taking home the Claret Jug at Royal St George’s. His stellar iron play dismantled the field, cementing his reputation as golf’s ultimate tactician.

At the Sentry Tournament of Champions in 2025, Collin’s consistency was on full display. While he didn’t take home the title, his ability to contend in elite fields underscores his standing as a perennial contender.

With five PGA Tour wins, two majors, and a Ryder Cup victory under his belt, Morikawa’s career trajectory points skyward. Add in his adaptability with equipment and his relentless work ethic, and it’s clear: Collin Morikawa isn’t just the future of golf—he’s the now.
