Amateur sensation Luke Clanton discusses his WITB

Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky filed for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report as part of our ongoing partnership. Read the full piece here.

This week at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, Clanton showed up with a Titleist TSR2 driver, a TaylorMade BRNR mini driver, a TaylorMade UDI driving iron, TaylorMade P760 long irons (4-6), TaylorMade P7MB short irons (7-9), four TaylorMade MG4 wedges, and a new Scotty Cameron Tour Only T9 putter, which is custom-made with rounded edges compared to the retail model.

When it comes to his equipment, Clanton remains relatively hands-off in the fitting process, trusting the experts instead.

“I can’t tell you what my loft/lie is or my degree or whatever it could be,” Clanton said in a press conference on Wednesday. “I leave it up to the people I trust and the people I know. I think I kind of have a great team around me that helps me out with the process. I try not to overcomplicate things with golf because it’s already complicated enough.”

While at Torrey Pines for the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open, however, Clanton stumbled upon a Scotty Cameron putter on the practice green that caught his eye. He put it into play immediately that week, and it’s still in the bag at PGA National.

“I didn’t putt too great at Sony, and I put it in at Torrey and gained about five shots in the first couple rounds, and I said, ‘That’s not too bad,’ and I kept it in,” Clanton said about his new putter.

Clanton is clearly open to switching into new equipment if he finds something better, but from the sounds of it, he won’t be going away from his TaylorMade P760 long irons anytime soon. The irons first released to the public back in 2018, and TaylorMade no longer makes the irons, but Clanton has tracked down a fresh set in case should happen to his current P760 irons.

“We just actually found a backup set for the first time,” Clanton said of his 7-year-old irons. “It’s pretty cool to know that I don’t have to stress out about traveling with them and hopefully they don’t break… so my caddie — I’ve been telling him for years about these 760 irons that we just can’t find, and TaylorMade doesn’t have any more. He went to an old club pro in Illinois and found a set that’s brand new. He always brings like one little gift for every event and he brought them over this week, and it was pretty cool.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
