Rory McIlroy’s golf equipment through the years

Rory McIlroy

On Sunday, Rory McIlroy dramatically won his third FedEx Cup, coming from behind to catch the world’s No. 1 player, Scottie Scheffler, at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Throughout the week at East Lake, McIlroy used his driver to set up short irons and wedges into greens that produced plentiful scoring chances. For the week he ranked No. 1 in driving distance (334 yards), and in the critical fourth round he hit 11 of 14 fairways. For the season McIlroy finished second on the PGA Tour in driving distance (321.3 yards), No. 1 in scoring average (68.67) and No. 1 in strokes gained total (2.115).

McIlroy’s driver has garnered a lot of attention over the years, but he has made subtle tweaks and modifications to all his gear since he turned pro in 2007. Take a look below at some of the equipment Rory McIlroy has played since 2006.
