Tiger Woods WITB 2025 (7th April, 2025) - What's In The Bag? The Masters 2025 @ Augusta National

🐅 Tiger Woods - WITB at the Masters 2025?

Tiger Woods isn’t just a golfer – he’s the golfer. The icon. The era-definer. The guy who changed the game with a Nike swoosh on his cap, a fist pump that could shake the earth, and a red shirt that haunts final rounds. With 82 PGA Tour wins (tied all-time), 15 majors, and a history so rich it makes Augusta’s fairways look like astroturf, Woods is the reason millions picked up a club.

And speaking of Augusta...

Tiger's relationship with The Masters is biblical. He won his first in 1997 by 12 strokes as a 21-year-old. Since then, he’s claimed the green jacket five times (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019), each win a defining chapter in his career.

His 2019 comeback victory after personal turmoil, surgeries, and doubt wasn’t just another win—it was the greatest redemption arc the game has seen. In 2024, he withdrew before the weekend due to ongoing health issues, but now in 2025, he's back again, and the hype is at DEFCON 1.

“His odds may be long, but this is Augusta—and this is Tiger. You never rule him out here.”

🧰 Tiger Woods’ 2025 WITB (What’s In The Bag)

Let’s talk gear. Tiger doesn’t just choose clubs—he crafts them. His bag is a scalpel set. Every degree of loft, every grind, every shaft—precision tuned. And in 2025, there are some subtle but telling changes, especially geared toward Augusta’s slopey fairways and bentgrass greens.

Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9° with a Graphite Design Tour AD VF 6 X shaft

The Qi10 LS offers low spin and tight dispersion, paired with the VF 6X for stability and launch. Tiger needs to find fairways at Augusta to attack pins. Expect a low cut off the tee—his signature move.

3 Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 Tour 15° (@13.5) with a Graphite Design Tour AD VF 7 X shaft

Cranked down to 13.5° for a more penetrating flight. Augusta’s second shots often demand carry and shape—this is Tiger’s go-to off the deck for that classic stinger-with-hangtime look.

5 Wood: TaylorMade M3 19° (@18.25) with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 80 TX shaft

Old faithful. Tiger has stuck with this club since 2018. Why? It works. The M3 is reliable, hot off the face, and ideal for long par-5s like 13 and 15.

Irons: 2023 TaylorMade P770 (3i), TaylorMade P7TW (4i-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts

The P770 3-iron gives him extra launch and forgiveness—especially off the tee on holes like No. 5 or 10. From 4-PW, it’s Tiger’s custom P7TWs. Blades so pure they should come with a warning label. These were designed to mimic his old Nike VR Pro blades and feel like a hot butter knife through turf.

Wedges: TaylorMade MG4 Raw 56°-12TW Proto, 60°-TW11 Proto with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts

These are Tiger’s signature grinds—built for flight control, spin around Augusta’s tightly mown surrounds, and creativity. The TW11 grind gives him added heel relief for versatility off sidehill lies and bunkers. He’s won five jackets with a short game like a magician.

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS Prototype with a Ping PP58 Blackout grip

This is the putter. The one that rolled in clutch putts at Augusta in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019. Don’t overthink it—it’s Tiger’s Excalibur.

Ball & Grips: Bridgestone Tour B X (2024) with Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord 58R grips

Tiger helped design this ball. It’s built for precision spin and consistency. Grips are standard for him—corded, classic, no-frills.

🧠 2025 vs 2024: What’s New?

Tiger’s 2024 setup was nearly identical—but he’s made some key adjustments for Augusta:

  • New Driver Shaft: The switch to the Graphite Design Tour AD VF is notable. It’s slightly more stable than the Ventus Black he toyed with last year. Helps keep the cut shape tighter, crucial at Augusta where a big miss brings pine trees into play.

  • Qi10 Tour 3W instead of Stealth Plus: A move toward more launch and forgiveness. With Augusta’s par-5s reachable, this club is about giving Tiger the tools to go low.

  • Sticking with the M3 5W: He hasn’t changed this in years. And honestly, why would he? It’s his bullet.

⛳️ Augusta Setup Strategy

Woods has one of the most nuanced strategies at Augusta of any player—he knows where to miss, when to go for it, and how to handle the greens. The Qi10 LS driver helps shape it both ways, the fairway woods give him reliable distance off tight lies, and the P7TWs allow him to work the ball in both directions to access tucked pins.

The MG4 wedges with his custom grind are critical for spin control on Augusta’s lightning-fast greens. He doesn’t overpower Augusta anymore—he outthinks it.
