Tiger Woods’ 2007 FedExCup victory saw him fire rounds of 63-63-63-66 for a resounding 8-stroke victory in the inaugural edition of the FedExCup Playoffs. It was, in short, a vintage performance and a classic example of Woods answering the bell. The first to have his name engraved on the sterling silver Tiffany FedExCup trophy, Woods arrived at East Lake with the well-established bag setup of the “graphite shaft” portion of his career. The rough formula is below. ● Latest iteration of his sponsor’s woods ● Mitsubishi Diamana shafts ● Prototype irons built to similar specs and shaping to the Titleist 681T irons Larry Bobka developed early in Woods’ career ● Mike Taylor (now of Artisan Golf) crafted wedges ● His “Elder Wand” Scotty Cameron ● Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grips played since time out of mind ● True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts in irons (X100), wedges (S400) 2007 Driver: Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 (7.5 degrees) Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana Blue 83 TX 3-wood: Nike SasQuatch II (15 degrees) Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana Blue 103 TX Irons: Nike Forged Blades (2-PW) Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Nike Pro Combo (56), Nike SV (60) Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS Ball: Nike One Platinum TW Grips: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord As a point of comparison, take a look at what was in Woods’ bag for his iconic TOUR Championship win 11 years later. As we always say about Tiger’s setup, the DNA remains the same — and usually the putter, when comparing two points in time. The Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter Woods wielded for 14 of his 15 major victories was in the bag for the wins in question. A TaylorMade staffer in 2018, Woods’ woods were TM rather than Nike. Woods’ shafts stay in the family but get a little lighter. Prototype irons built to Woods’ specs, same wedge lofts in similar designs…more similarities than differences, to be sure! 2018 Driver: TaylorMade M3 460 (9.5 degrees) Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 70 TX 3-wood: TaylorMade M3 (13 degrees) Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 80 TX 5-wood: TaylorMade M3 (19 degrees) Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 80 TX Irons: TaylorMade TW-Phase1 prototype (3-PW) Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind Raw (56 and 60 degrees) Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS Ball: Bridgestone Tour B XS Grips: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord
