We’ve been testing out all the new 718 irons on a recent trip to Archerfield and can bring you all the details on August 24.

Another fairly recent gear change for Thomas was a switch to the Scotty Camerom Futura X5 prototype.

His request for a for a smaller mallet with easy alignment, promoting an arced stroke actually resulted in the Futura 5.5M model being released to the public.

Thomas was early to adopt the 917 woods, including the D3 driver, but still carries a 915 5-wood.

He has a mix of Vokey SM5 and SM6 wedges in the bag and favours the Titleist Pro V1x ball – the same model which Spieth used at Royal Birkdale.

This victory not only marks back-to-back major victories for Titleist staff players but it’s also the second consecutive PGA Championship for Titleist after Jimmy Walker’s win last year.
