# Justin Rose's WITB: the McLaren-iron mixed bag

> A free agent who signed McLaren Golf for irons in 2026 and cherry-picks the rest — Callaway driver, TaylorMade wood, Scotty Cameron putter. Every club, club by club.

**Setup verified:** 2026-07-13

Justin Rose plays as an equipment free agent in 2026, mixing brands across the bag. The headline is his April 2026 McLaren Golf iron partnership, which retired his long-serving Miura blades. Around the new irons he games a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max driver, a Callaway mini, a TaylorMade wood, Vokey and Cleveland wedges, a Scotty Cameron putter and a Titleist Pro V1x ball.

Aside from the irons, the setup is deliberate cherry-picking — the freedom of a player with no single-brand deal.

## Quick facts
- **Tour:** PGA Tour
- **Clubs:** Free agent (McLaren irons partner)
- **Driver:** Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke TD Max
- **Ball:** Titleist Pro V1x

## Notes

Rose's 2026 bag is defined by the McLaren Golf iron partnership — the brand's high-profile move into tour equipment, which sent his trusted Miura MC-502 blades to the bench — and by his freedom as a free agent to build a genuine mixed bag around a Callaway driver, a TaylorMade wood, Titleist and Cleveland wedges and a Scotty Cameron putter.

The one-off change was the irons; multiple sources note that when McLaren came in, everything else stayed the same for now. His ball is the Pro V1x in 2026 after a Pro V1 Left Dot in 2025.
