Jacob Bridgeman's WITB: a 9-wood and a 2014 utility iron
He beat McIlroy at Riviera in February, won the Biltmore the day before the Presidents Cup team flew out, and did it carrying a twelve-year-old driving iron.
By Jordan Hale · Equipment Writer
Jacob Bridgeman won at Riviera in February ahead of Rory McIlroy and then took the Biltmore Championship on 20 September, days before making his Presidents Cup debut at Medinah.
He is a signed TaylorMade staffer and the bag is TaylorMade end to end, but it is not a stock one. There is a 9-wood where most players carry a long iron, and above the irons sits a Tour Preferred UDI from 2014 — a twelve-year-old head still good enough for a winning week.

The story of the bag
This is the Biltmore-winning bag, not a season aggregate, and the distinction matters. A September round-up still had him in a Qi35 LS with a mini driver and a 7-wood; the two event-specific reports either side of it both have the Qi4D, no mini driver and a 9-wood. We followed the event sources.
The 9-wood and the 2014 utility iron are the same decision in two places: he would rather have height and a club he trusts than the newest head in the slot.
