After his win, Willett said:
I’m really pleased to have won the tournaments I’ve won over the years. I’ve won some big ones and obviously Augusta is pretty special. But this one, coming back after everything that has happened, is going to go down in the history books as one of the most pleasing.
Danny Willett What’s In The Bag?
Callaway Rogue Driver
Willett has been using the Rogue Driver for the whole of 2018, and has the loft down to 9 degrees so as to counter the extra spin the club creates compared to his previous Epic. He uses the Mitsubushi Chemicals Diamana W-Series 60 shaft, in extra stiff.
Callaway Rogue Fairway Wood
Willett’s Rogue fairway is set at 15 degrees, although he does also have a higher lofted 5 wood which he swaps in and out depending on the course setup and conditions for that week.
Callaway X Forged UT
The UT long irons provide an extra bit of forgiveness and are useful both off the tee and for longer approaches into the green. Willett carries 18, 21 and 24 degree variations of the iron.
Callaway X Forged 18 Irons
From 5-9 iron Willett uses the X Forged 18 irons, which he has styled himself with green colouring to commemorate his famous 2016 Masters victory.
Callaway Mack Daddy Forged Wedge
Willett’s pitching wedge is the Mack Daddy Forged which is 48 degrees to ensure perfect gapping between clubs for ultimate precision at the bottom end of the bag.
Callaway Mack Daddy 4 Wedges
For the 54 and 58 degree wedges, Willett switches to the newer Mack Daddy 4 model, which are complete with his own personalised stamping in his favoured chrome and green finish.
Odyssey Stroke Lab Prototype Putter
Despite having used a blade style putter, such as the Odyssey O-Works #1 for much of his career, Willett has been toying with different models recently. His latest switch is to a Prototype heel-shafted mallet with a Microhinge insert, shaped similarly to the Tank Cruiser 330 model.
Callaway Chrome Soft X Ball
Completing the set is the Chrome Soft X, which Willett uses as the ultra-stron graphene core provides better players with lower spin and a few yards of extra distance.
