First Japanese Masters Champion in History!! WITB?

Getting started: tips for guys

We at Golfworkx could not be more excited to congratulate Hideki Matsuyama on his first Major Championship win on the biggest stage of the year. Hideki outshot a fierce field completing his victory one stroke above the field at -10 for the championship. Here we are going to take a look into his bag to show you what he used to meticulously navigate the tortuous layout well known by all at Augusta National.

When it comes to his equipment, Matsuyama is unique in his preparation. He tests numerous drivers, wedges and putters prior to every event he plays in. It’s not uncommon to see Matsuyama’s bag full of 20+ clubs during practice round days on Monday-through-Wednesday. That means his clubs and shafts often change week-to-week. (1)

He used a Srixon ZX5 driver, equipped with a familiar Graphite Design Tour AD-DI shaft that he’s used throughout his professional career. He filled out his bag with a TaylorMade fairway wood, a TaylorMade driving iron, Srixon irons, Cleveland wedges, a Scotty Cameron prototype putter and a Srixon golf ball. (2)
