For a golfer, apart from the skillset and mentorship, it is the preference for the course that makes the difference. For the 28-year-old American professional, it is turning out to be a true story. Doug Ghim has been on a roll with his performance in 2025. He has participated in 5 events, out of which he has made the cut in 4, while securing a top 25 spot in one event.

Even with the ongoing Cognizant Classic, the golfer is in a strong spot of contention for the title. After three rounds, he is currently two strokes behind the leader with -14 and placed third. So, what does he carry with himself in the course for such performance?

The 64% driving accuracy and 289 yards of distance coverage from the tee shot are made possible with his Titleist GT2 Driver with 9 degrees of loft and a Mitsubishi Diamana BB 63 TX shaft. The driver is praised for its forgiveness and ability to cover longer distances. Coming in at $650, it becomes a great option to cover the course, starting off with the tee shot.

After the driver, for the approach shot, Doug Ghim has 3 and 5 wood in the bag. Being the brand ambassador of Titleist, he has a Titleist GT2 with 16.5 and 21-degree loft, respectively. To make the most of the shot, it offers great versatility to adapt to every condition and cover long distances. Priced at $350 each, they make a great fit in the bag.

Well, after covering the distance, golfers pick the clubs with more precision and trajectory control. For Ghim, the pick in iron comes from the Titleist brand. He prefers T200 4 iron and T100 5-9 iron. The T200 series is versatile for spin and ball contact, while the T100 series is an older version offering a raw finish with spin control and distance coverage. The set of the iron cost $1400, whereas individually it costs $200.

The 28-year-old has been a professional since 2018, and with his experience, he has adopted the best clubs to fit his style. Once he has covered the distance, he comes down the precision clubs for the greens.

Doug Ghim’s preference for the greens

Further in the bag, the golfer undoubtedly is a Titleist man through and through. For the wedge, he again carries a Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (48-10F, 52-08F, 56-10S) and WedgeWorks (60-K). The great sole drag with improved spin and feedback makes the Vokey Design SM10 a definite addition to the bag. Priced at $199, it is a great value addition to the bag for setting the ball for the final shot.

At last, he relies on the Scotty Cameron T-7 putter. The mallet putter offers high stability and excellent feel. The $3000 (approx) putter has helped the golfer in achieving a 1.789 putting average. For each shot, he combines the clubs with a Titleist Pro V1x ball that adds spin and long-distance coverage. The ball costs $55.

With the unique preference for the course, the golfer has achieved great stats and finishes. But will he be able to win his first PGA Tour title in 2025? What are your thoughts on it? Share with us in the comments below.
