Eric Cole What’s In The Bag?
Eric Cole is beginning to really make a name for himself on the PGA Tour after some stellar play saw him pick up Rookie Of The Year honors in 2023. The season saw the Californian born golfer finish T-15 at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill and rack up seven top-10 finishes throughout the season, finishing the year as the only rookie in the top-50 in the FedEx Cup standings.
While Cole is currently under contract with PXG, he also has a few clubs from other brands in play. Below we take a deep-dive into the looks and specs of Eric Cole’s bag.

Eric Cole’s gamer is the PXG Black Ops 0311 Driver set to 9° and he uses a Project X Even Flow Riptide LX Proto 70g shaft. The Black Ops and Black Ops 0311 Tour-1 drivers are brand new for 2024 and the same driver Cole uses was voted one of our best drivers released this year.
PXG have looked to increase the forgiveness of this driver over previous models and as have many other manufactures set out to do with their product, hit 10k MOI with this driver. This incredible forgiveness was there to be seen upon testing and the Black Ops really impressed the Golf Monthly Gear Team with its premium looks and improved sound and feel.

Eric Cole currently has two fairway woods in his bag, a 3-wood and a 5-wood. The former is a TaylorMade Stealth fairway wood set at 15° while using the same Project X shaft and spec found in his driver. This fairway was considered one of the best fairway woods when released and was trusted among many pro’s, however, it is a few years old now and so it will be interesting to see what Cole turns to next.
The 5-wood Eric Cole is has in play is the PXG Gen 5 model and this is powered by a Project X HZRDUS Gen4 80g TX shaft. The debate is constantly ongoing as to whether golfers should play a 5-wood or 3-hybrid, but Cole has kept his 5-wood in the bag for a few seasons now and after picking up Rookie Of The Year honors with this club in play, we’d be suprised to see it replaced any time soon.
