Chris Kirk What’s In The Bag?
American Chris Kirk (opens in new tab) has won five times on the PGA Tour, the most recent of which came at the 2023 Honda Classic. This ended an eight year PGA Tour win drought, a big reason of which came about because in 2019, Kirk announced that he was to take an “indefinite leave” from golf to battle his struggles with alcohol and mental health. He played on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020 and has risen back up the world rankings to inside the top-50, so let’s take a look at the clubs he has used to do so.

Kirk has an interesting bag setup with several different brands represented. He starts with a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver which has 10.7 degrees of loft and is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 TX shaft.

Kirk then has a combo set of Callaway irons in the bag, both models of which are slightly older.
