Aaron Rai is ranked 44th in the world and finished tied for 16th at the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink. In 2025, he was the most accurate driver on the PGA Tour, hitting 73.85% of his fairways. Rai’s approach is built on a principle that many modern pros have left behind: he believes that sticking with what you know and trust works better than chasing the latest trends. His golf bag isn’t just a collection of sponsored clubs; it’s a craftsman’s toolkit, put together with careful choices.

The club that sums up Rai’s approach is his driver. He has used the TaylorMade M6 since it came out, only swapping out the head when needed rather than switching to a new model. His results show how well this works. It’s uncommon for any pro to stick with one club for so long, and at the level of major championships, it’s nearly unheard of.

Aaron Rai’s long game: Driver, fairway woods, hybrid, and irons

The M6 has 9 degrees of loft and uses an Aldila Synergy Blue 70TX shaft, which is a low-spin, mid-launch setup. This works well for players who focus on accuracy instead of just hitting the ball as far as possible. Alongside the M6, there are two TaylorMade Qi10 fairway woods: a 3-wood with 15 degrees of loft and a Fujikura Ventus Blue 8X shaft, and a 5-wood with 18 degrees of loft and a Ventus Blue TR shaft.

The difference in shafts is important because the TR profile in the 5-wood creates a different ball flight and spin, so Rai gets two unique clubs instead of just having the same club with different lofts. Earlier this season, Rai switched to the Qi10 fairway woods in 2025, moving on from the TaylorMade SIM model he used before.

Rai also uses a Titleist TSR2 hybrid with a 24-degree loft and a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 90TX shaft. The TSR2 gives a higher ball flight and more stopping power on long approach shots, which is different from the lower, more piercing flight of the Qi10 fairway woods above it in his bag.

The P7TW is a club that requires precise ball-striking. Mike Taylor, who also designed Tiger Woods’ Nike irons, helped create it. The P7TW has a longer heel-to-toe shape and more grooves than most tour blades, so it rewards accuracy. Rai uses these irons from 5-iron to 9-iron, all with True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shafts. These shafts are a bit softer than the X100 model many pros use, but at 128 grams, the S300 still offers good weight and control. Rai keeps each iron in a headcover, a habit he learned from his father, who used to clean every groove after practice with a pin and baby oil.

Aaron Rai’s short game: Wedges, putter, and ball

Rai worked with Aaron Dill from Titleist to build his wedge setup. He uses a Vokey SM9 46.10F bent to 44°, an SM9 48.10F bent to 49°, an SM10 54.12D, and a WedgeWorks 60.K. The 44° wedge replaces the pitching wedge and fills the gap from the 9-iron. The 49° wedge covers the space between that and the 54°, so every yardage is covered.

Rai uses the TaylorMade TP Collection DuPage putter with a SuperStroke 1.0 Tour grip. The DuPage is a mallet putter designed for stability and easy alignment, perfect for players who like to control every detail before putting. For his golf ball, Rai switched to the Titleist Pro V1 in 2026 after using the TaylorMade TP5, choosing it for its softer feel and multi-layer spin.

Every club in Aaron Rai’s bag is chosen to help him hit the shot he wants, not just the longest or flashiest one. Rai is known for being one of the most accurate drivers on Tour, even though he uses a driver that’s older than most. This careful approach has worked well for him over the years.
