Okay, so I’ve been getting really into golf lately, and Viktor Hovland is just killing it. Naturally, I got super curious about what clubs he’s using. I mean, the guy’s swing is butter, but the equipment’s gotta play a part, right? So, I went on a deep dive to figure out Viktor Hovland’s “what’s in the bag.”
The Research Begins
First, I just started with some basic searches. I typed in things like “Viktor Hovland clubs” and “Viktor Hovland WITB” (WITB stands for “What’s in the Bag” – I learned that along the way!). It took a while to get good at searching, but I started finding some forum discussions and articles. I started to realize there might be differences between what he uses for tournaments, and what he might experiment with.
Compiling the Info
I ended up grabbing a notepad and making a list. It was kinda messy at first. I would jot down clubs that were mentioned in the articles, and then some forum posts, I’d go back and add or change things. I wanted to make sure what I had was up-to-date, to get to the truth.
- Driver: Ping seemed consistant… Ping G425 LST was a common mention.
- Fairway Woods:This was trickier! There were mentions of a TaylorMade Stealth Plus…and sometimes a Ping G430.
- Irons:This part had some conflicting info, too. Titleist U•505, definitely… But, I also saw mentions of a Callaway X Forged UT.
- Wedges: Ping again! Seemed like Ping Glide 4.0 were his go-to.
- Putter:This one was a bit more obscure. Different mallets and blades…
- Ball:Easy, Titleist Pro V1.
Making Sense of it All
After collecting all this, I tried to find the most recent info. I looked for articles or posts that were dated recently, figuring those would be the most accurate. It’s tough because these guys change their gear sometimes, I realized! It’s not like they’re stuck with one set forever.
The (Probable) Result
So, after all this digging, here’s what I think is the most likely setup for Viktor Hovland. I’m not 100% sure, but this is my best guess based on what I found:
- Driver: Ping G425 LST
- 3-wood: TaylorMade Stealth Plus
- Irons: Titleist U•505 (utility iron), Callaway X Forged UT, then into some Ping i210s.
- Wedges: Ping Glide 4.0
- Putter: Ping PLD DS 72 prototype
- Ball: Titleist Pro V1
It was a fun little project, and it made me appreciate how much thought goes into a pro golfer’s equipment. Now, if only I could swing like Viktor Hovland… that’s the real secret weapon!
