Even during the toughest phase in his career, Brooks Koepka knows what he wants. The LIV Golf pro has been out of form for quite a while now. Whether it’s in the Saudi-based league, the DP World Tour, or in majors, he hasn’t been performing well for nearly 2 years. The rough patch has made him change his technique and practice harder to try to find his rhythm again. But in a recent interview, he revealed that there is one thing about his game that he doesn’t tinker around much with, and that’s his equipment.

Koepka joined Today’s Golfer for an exclusive interview to discuss his golf kit. During the conversation, he was asked about the irons he was using that hadn’t been upgraded for the longest time. Brooks told the interviewer, “I’m not a tinkerer. I don’t play around with different options. I’ve tried going to 5-wood and just seen, but the flight doesn’t look good to me. Right now, that 3-iron’s been my old faithful. I know where it’s going. I know the flight should be. The original one caved in on 18 at Portrush this year. Luckily, I wasn’t playing Saturday or Sunday, so I didn’t have to go without a club.”

The LIV Golf pro missed the cut in The Open 2025. He was nowhere close to qualification for the weekend rounds. However, the deteriorating condition of his 3-iron, the Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron, might explain why he shot 7-over 149 in the first couple of rounds. Evidently, throughout the last major, he also had issues with his driver, which only made it more challenging for him to play his irons effectively. But considering that the club caved in at the end, it was fortunate that he underperformed. Interestingly, he had been using the iron since 2016, and it had been 9 years since he had changed it. The new iron that he is using now is also the Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron. He has just replaced the older, used one with a fresh piece.

Interestingly, since changing his irons, Brooks Koepka has certainly seen a change in his performance. Let’s see how the new club is affecting his form.

Change of irons has helped Brooks Koepka get closer to the winner’s club

It took a bit of adjusting to come around it, but Brooks Koepka has finally started to enjoy his new iron. He was certainly struggling through a bad run of form for a prolonged period. However, since The Open 2025 at Royal Portrush, the Smash GC captain has played three times on the DP World Tour. And in all three events, he has shown major signs of improvement.

In the BMW PGA Championship 2025, Koepka narrowly missed the cutline after ending round two at 1-under. That’s certainly a huge improvement from the +7 in The Open a few days ago. But his journey didn’t end there, as he went to Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche to play the Open de France. Brooks delivered a convincing performance and nearly won the title, finishing solo fourth in the end.

His next goal was the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the Old Course, where he played the likes of Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood & Co. Brooks Koepka delivered another strong finish there with a T15, 4 strokes from second place. The change of club is certainly helping him. But will it be enough to get him back to winning ways? Only time will tell.
