Who can forget the Fat Lady Swings putter? Other than that Price reached World No 1 with a mixed bag. Another No 1 using a full bag of TaylorMade equipment. The makeup of the set doesn’t vary much to the clubs he has in play today. Jones tried Calamity Jane and loved the feel. He used it at Inwood and won. In fact, he used the original then a replica (Calamity Jane II) to win all thirteen of his Major titles. The club head has been made slightly bigger and over the ball; this is much more confidence-inspiring.

Duval had five different brands in play when he became World No 1. I love how old school these Titleist irons look… A significant change comes on the sole; we no longer see the large weight plate, which means the new version feels lighter. If you prefer something heavier, you can adjust the weights though. We know Scott likes an unusual putter and things were not different when he was officially the best in the world… Probably my favourite aspect was just how easy this was to line up. I holed a ridiculous amount of mid-range and short putts with this without having to rely on the usual line I put on the ball.Kaymer was a TaylorMade staffer when he became World No 1. The only non-contracted club in his bag was his putter. It’s more than two years since Thomas first rose to the top of the world ranking and other than some fresh wedges his setup has barely changed.

Woosnam was contracted with Maruman when he won the Masters, with the only exception being his putter. The second Spaniard and 10th European to reach World No 1, Rahm carries a full bag of TaylorMade equipment. He is one to add in new technology when it comes about and has a full set of the new SIM woods as well as the new Chalk Spider X putter. As a Lynx ambassador Couples carried the brands driver and irons along with equipment from four other brands. Perhaps most iconic was his Ping Anser putter. As a free agent Brooks had equipment from four different manufacturers in play when he reached the top of the world. Most iconic is probably the Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron which he has clung onto ever since Nike left the golf hardware game. Langer was the first player crowned World No 1 and at the time the German was a Wilson staffer and carried a full set of their blades from 1-iron (ask your dad) all the way down to pitching wedge.

Another win for the TaylorMade bubble shaft. In fact all Els’ long game clubs were TaylorMade. He rounded out his set with Cleveland wedges and a Ping Anser putter. Ever since he made the third round of the 1916 U.S. Amateur Championship aged just 14, Bobby Jones had been earmarked for Major success. But, on the eve of the 1923 U.S. Open at Inwood Country Club in New York the 21-year-old amateur had yet to secure one of the big four titles. A Titleist staffer since his early days on tour, Spieth has stayed loyal to the brand ever since and tinkers with his setup as little as possible.
