The 2022–23 season was amazing for Keegan Bradley. Two wins, including a victory at the Travelers Championship in 2023, propelled him to the 9th position in the FedEx Cup standings. This year, he would have been hoping for an even better finish as the 6X PGA Tour champ duked it out on the golf course at the Wai’alae Country Club. However, was he able to do it alone?

The gameplay that the 37-year-old displays on the course is a treat for the eyes. But he was only able to do that by combining his skills with the right kind of tools that the golfer was able to equip himself with.

Over the three days of play, Bradley was able to place himself in the top position on the scoreboard, setting himself up for a victory on Sunday. The golfer was able to register scores of 67, 66, and 63, for a total of 14 under, to finish at T1 on Saturday. However, he was able to do the same by choosing the right clubs for his shots, a similar choice to what he made in the Sentry.

The American turns to the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus for his driver. The club is coupled with a Fujikura Ventus Balck 6X shaft while lofted at 10.5 degrees, costing $629.99. Moreover, it helps the athlete combine high speed with distance while achieving a lot of forgiveness. Basically speaking, it’s all about “fargiveness,” all thanks to the maximized weight placement of the driver owing to the six-layer carbon fiber crowns.

The 1X major champ’s choice of fairways falls on the TaylorMade SIM2 Max HL for his 3-woods. The club is attached to the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black 6.5TX shaft at 15.75 degrees while marked at $299.99. However, for his hybrids, he turns to the Callaway UW, which is coupled with a Project X EvenFlow Hybrid 95 6.5TX shaft at 19 degrees. The former boasts enhanced stopping power through high launch angles while being able to hit the distance.

The 2011 PGA Championship winner turns to the Srixon ZX5 for his 3-irons down to the 5-irons while using the Srixon ZX7 for the 6-irons down to the pitching wedges. Both are combined with the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issues X100 shafts, costing $170 each. The set of tools has helped Bradley stand out on the greens, with the former’s razor-sharp chassis giving off a premium feel along with enhanced speed and the latter’s Tour Cavity assisting the off-center strikes.

The 2022 Zozo Championship winner depends on the Cleveland RTX ZipCore Tour Rack (52°–10, 58°–6) for his wedges. The set is attached to the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts and is priced at $149.99 per tool. The equipment is designed to allow exceptional levels of spin while allowing the athlete to position the sweet spot closer to the center of the face.

Turning to his putters, the 37-year-old uses the Odyssey Versa Jailbird with a SuperStroke WristLock putter grip. The club, costing $259.99, helps in highlighting the proper face angle to putt the Srixon Z-Star golf ball that he buys at $50.42 into the hole.
