Justin Rose’s Winning Bag: The Gear Behind the $3.6 Million Win
When Justin Rose hoisted the trophy at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, his clubs had a big role to play — and it’s worth taking a closer look at what helped him pull off that win and earn $3.6 million. He’s a gear-free agent and has been one for a minute or two. He makes his money on the course, not for putting a club manufacturer on his bag or hat.
Driver: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max (9°)
This driver is all about precision and forgiveness. It gave Rose the confidence to hit long, accurate tee shots, even under pressure. Think of it as his go-to club for setting up those birdie chances. He drove it especially well down the stretch on Sunday, especially during the nervy sudden-death playoff.
Mini Driver/2-Wood: TaylorMade R7 Quad
A classic club profile that Rose trusts. It’s smaller and easier to control, perfect for tight fairways or tricky tee shots where accuracy beats distance.
5-Wood: TaylorMade M6 (17°)
The lM6 model came out in 2019, so this club has aged like a nice Bordeaux. The design helps him get the ball airborne with good control, making it easier to hit greens from a distance.
Irons: Titleist 620 CB (4–6) and Miura MC-502 (7–PW)
A smart mix of clubs — the Titleist irons provide forgiveness on longer shots (forgiveness for pros, not hacks; hacks need a spatula cavity-back), while the Miuras deliver the feel and precision needed for 20-caliber approaches.
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM10 & WedgeWorks
These wedges are all about spin and control, helping Rose get out of bunkers or land soft shots close to the hole. Vokeys are the best—and it’s not even close.
Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom T-5 Prototype
A steady and reliable putter that helped Rose sink those crucial birdie putts in the playoff.
Ball: 2025 Titleist Pro V1x
Consistent and dependable in all conditions, giving Rose confidence from tee to green.
All in all, this bag was a perfect match for Rose’s game — combining distance, accuracy, and feel. And with that $3.6 million payday, it’s clear the gear paid off just as much as his skill and experience.
