There are some very interesting equipment selections in play at this year’s Ryder Cup. From one-off tour-only prototypes, to clubs dating back nearly a decade, there are a number of clubs I would love to get my hands on! Here are the clubs I have selected to make up my ultimate Ryder Cup bag 2023.
Driver

Since becoming an equipment contract free agent, Justin Rose has become partial to a little tinkering, especially when it comes to driver. I have lost count of the number of models I have seen Rose testing over the past twelve months including the 2016 Taylormade M2 and the Callaway Paradym which he used in his PGA Tour win at Pebble Beach.

- Player: Brooks Koepka
- Model: Taylormade M2 Tour HL
- Year: 2017

Irons
- Player: Nicolai Hojgaard
- Model: Callaway Apex MB Raw (Prototype)
- Year: 2023
An honourable mention here must go to England’s Matt Fitzpatrick who is still rocking Ping S55’s that are approaching their tenth birthday! However, I can’t see past Nicolai Hojgaard here. The Dane has one of the coolest prototype irons on tour in my…
