What’s in the Bag: Matt Fitzpatrick’s Winning Setup (2026 RBC Heritage Edition)

If you’re looking for a “bomb it everywhere and hope” setup, this isn’t it.

If you’re looking for a precision-built, playoff-closing, Harbour Town-approved toolkit, this is exactly that.

Because at the RBC Heritage, equipment free-agent Matt Fitzpatrick didn’t overpower Harbour Town Golf Links—he surgically picked it apart.

And the bag tells the whole story: control, consistency, and zero interest in trends.

Driver

At the top of the bag, Fitzpatrick relies on a Titleist GT3 driver, paired with a Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange shaft.

This setup is built for low spin and control—perfect for navigating Copperhead’s tight, tree-lined fairways. Fitzpatrick isn’t chasing distance for the sake of it (at least anymore); he’s chasing position. And this driver helps him do exactly that. He’s grooved a fairway finder shot with the big stick that will pay off during major season.

Fairway Woods

Fitzpatrick opts for TaylorMade Qi35 fairway woods – 15-degree 3-wood and 18-degree 5-wood – continuing his trend of mixing brands to find the best performance.

At Harbour Town, these clubs, at times and when needed, are basically drivers with manners.

The 3-wood gives him a controlled tee option.
The 5-wood adds launch and versatility into greens and a fairway finder for 400-yard or less doglegs.

Together, they’re the reason he kept the ball in play when needed.

Irons

Here’s where things get interesting.

Fitzpatrick still games a combo set featuring:

Yes, these irons are old.

No, he’s not changing them.

The key here is the shaft blend:

It’s a completely dialed-in setup that prioritizes distance control over everything—which is exactly why he could hit that playoff 4-iron like it was on rails.

Wedges

Around the greens, Fitzpatrick leans on Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges (52°, 56°, 60°).

Classic wedge setup. No gimmicks. VOKEY!!!

The Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts are heavy, consistent, and built for repeatable spin and trajectory—which matters a lot when you’re navigating Harbour Town’s tight runoffs and tiny landing areas.

Also: bending the lob wedge, adding more loft? That’s for a player who pitches his greenside shots with a shaft lean. And if you’ve ever watched Fitzy pitch it, you’d know the lean is how he goes about his trade. His left-hand low approach forces a shaft lean and requires a higher-lofted wedge around the green.

Putter

On the greens, he turned to a Bettinardi DASS BB1 putter.

Blade. Clean. Reliable.

You don’t win a playoff without trusting your putter completely—and this one delivered when it mattered most.

Golf Ball

Fitzpatrick plays the Titleist Pro V1x

High flight, controlled spin, Tour staple.

Nothing fancy—just predictable performance, which is kind of the entire theme here.


The takeaway: Most “better” players don’t need the longest setup. They need the most predictable one. Fitzpatrick proved that at Harbour Town—where the right heads, shafts, and ball mattered just as much as the right swing.
