Following in the footsteps of his idol Jack Nikaluas, the 24-year 0ld professional has been turning heads with his performance on the course. William Mouw since his early days, has etched his name in the history books with various achievements. He won the California Amateur Championship, Thunderbird Invitational, and Heather Farr Classic in 2019. Even won the Trans-Mississippi Championship in 2022, before entering as a professional.

After his sixth rank on the PGA Tour University in 2023, he got the Korn Ferry Tour membership. Since then, he has been on a lookout for his first professional win. But, he was close to it last year at the Albertsons Boise Open, but felt short and had to settle for a runner-up finish. Now, with his constant attempts, he is close to his debut win at the Puerto Rico Open. To support him at the course, apart from his caddie, his club’s combination has been vital. Let’s check what he carries to the course.

The American professional is a keen distance getter, as with his tee shot, he aims to cover more than 300 yards. Even his driving average is over 306 yards, ranking him 62nd on the PGA Tour. To make the distance coverage easier, he keeps the Ping G44o Max Driver with 9 degrees loft and the Mitsubishi Diamana PD 60TX shaft. The $599 long yet lightweight driver is ideal for increasing forgiveness. Despite the swing speed, the 46” head with a Carbonfly crown improves the efficiency.

Additionally, he has a similar model, G440 Fairway 4-Wood, the low nozzle, long head as an alternative for the driver. With a high launch and forgiveness to offer, it justifies the price of $349. Then, William Mouw has three irons from Ping. He carries, i Crossover#3 with 20-39.75, Anser Iron (4-5) and Blueprint S Iron, 6. These irons are known for their forgiveness and versatility. The unique design makes ball launch easier, irrespective of the position. The set costing $1400 approximately is a great addition to the bag for dealing with tough situations and setting the ball for the shots near greens.

William Mouw’s final preference for the course

To reach close to the cup, the golfer carries Ping s159 Wedges, 50-S, 54-S and Glide 2.0, 60-SS. With the sharp grooves and enhanced sole grinds, the wedges are the ideal option to reach the final putt. It offers improved spin and trajectory planning with precise distance coverage. The approx $200 wedge is great for bunker, rough, or even fairway revival.

For the last and final shot, Mouw has Ping PLD Custom Putter. With a double-bend shaft, 3 degrees loft and 20 degrees lie, it is definitely created to suit his game style. Though the price for the putter is not shared, but a similar model is priced at approximately $500.

With a great preference for the course, the golfer is all set for his first professional and PGA Tour victory. But will he be able to get it in the Puerto Rico Open? What are your predictions for it? Share with us in the comments below.
