Charlie Woods just won his first AJGA title with a thrilling three-shot victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Bowling Green, Florida. The 16-year-old phenom, son of golfing legend Tiger Woods, came from behind to claim the win, overcoming a one-shot deficit to overnight leader Luke Colton with a stunning final round. Woods carded an impressive six-under-par 66 on the Black Course at Streamsong Resort, marked by eight birdies and just two bogeys, to finish the week at 15 under par. Now, the golf world is abuzz with curiosity about the secret to his success.

Well, we have the answer: his impressive set of clubs. It turns out Woods’ trusty bag is stocked with some seriously high-performance gear that’s likely giving him a major edge on the course. His driver of choice is the TaylorMade Qi35, paired with a Graphite Design Tour AD VF 6 TX shaft – a combo priced at around $700 for the driver and $300 for the shaft. This powerful pairing has clearly been helping him launch his way to victory, and it’s no surprise given the Qi35’s reputation for distance and forgiveness.

But that’s not all – his fairway woods are just as impressive, with a TaylorMade Qi35 3 wood priced at $300 and TaylorMade Stealth 2 5 wood priced at $350, both wielding Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited shafts that come in at around $400 each. These clubs are likely giving him the distance and accuracy he’s been racking up, and it’s clear they’re paying dividends in his game.

Charlie Woods’s choice of wedges and putter

When it comes to the short game, Woods is all about finesse — and his trusty TaylorMade MG2 TW Grind wedges are the tools of his trade. His 56° and 60° wedges, precision-crafted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts, priced at around $150 each, with the shafts adding another $50 to the total bill, are the ultimate sidekicks for navigating those pesky sand traps and tricky greens. The TW Grind design is like a secret ingredient that gives Woods maximum versatility and control, while the S400 shafts provide just the right amount of stability and precision to make those delicate shots look easy. It’s no wonder Charlie Woods has been escaping sand traps like a pro and sticking it close to the pin with these clubs in his bag.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Charlie Woods' success all about skill, or does his top-notch gear make the difference?

Have an interesting take?

Woods’ putter of choice is the legendary Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Timeless Circle T, priced at around $400, which has likely been his partner in crime for all those clutch putts. And let’s not forget the Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grips (priced at around $15 each), which provide the perfect amount of traction and control to keep Woods’ hands in sync with his putting stroke. Rounding out his arsenal is the Bridgestone Tour B X ball, priced at $50 per dozen, which has probably been flying straight and true off the tee all tournament long. With this killer combo of gear, Woods is unstoppable – and it’s no wonder he’s been racking up the wins!
