What driver does Peter Finch use?

A Titleist GT3 at 9 degrees in the D1 setting. In March 2026 he said he had gone back to a Fujikura Ventus shaft, after playing a shorter, heavier Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black through 2025 to control his 120mph swing speed.

Why does Peter Finch use a mini driver instead of a 3-wood?

He checked his own stats and found he had hit his 3-wood only about five times in a season. He replaced it with a Titleist GT280 mini driver, which he calls his favourite club — around 270 yards of carry, and playable off the fairway.

What irons does Peter Finch play?

Titleist T150s from 5-iron to pitching wedge with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 Tour shafts, plus a Titleist T200 2-iron at the top of the set.

Is Peter Finch sponsored by Titleist?

Yes — he signed with Titleist at the start of 2025 and plays a full Titleist bag, including the ball.

Peter Finch's WITB: the bag with no 3-wood in it

Finch checked his own stats, found he had hit a 3-wood five times in a season, and replaced it with a mini driver. A full Titleist setup built by a coach who audits his own gaps.

Peter Finch signed with Titleist at the start of 2025, so this is a full staff bag — but it is not a default one. The interesting slot is the one that isn't there: no conventional 3-wood, replaced by a GT280 mini driver after Finch went through his own shot data and found he had used a 3-wood five times in an entire season.

He swings at around 120mph, plays a deliberately shorter and heavier driver shaft to stop himself over-swinging, and spent the season converting a lifelong fade into a draw. For a coach's bag, almost every choice has a stated reason behind it.

Peter Finch's bag

Driver
Titleist GT3
9°, D1 setting · Fujikura Ventus (model not stated)
In his own March 2026 bag video he says the setup is unchanged apart from the shaft: "I've recently gone back to the Fujikura Ventus." He doesn't name the Ventus model or weight, so we don't either. Through 2025 it was a shorter, heavier-than-standard Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 75 TX.

In place of a 3-wood. "This GT280 has been my favorite club this year… It goes about 270 yards carry."

Travels with him but rotates out — the mini driver has taken the slot most weeks.

Refitted at the Titleist Performance Institute for 2026. The sand wedge moved from a wide F grind to a thinner D, and the lob wedge from a 60° V to a 58° T, with a 58° V kept as a second lob wedge for softer or firmer conditions. The gap wedge settles at 48°.

The 2024-generation Phantom 9. In March 2026 he said this "might not be the putter which I play the 2026 season with" and that whatever replaces it will be a mallet; no switch has been confirmed since.

The story of the bag

The mini-driver decision is the one worth stealing. Finch didn't drop the 3-wood on feel — he looked at how often he actually used it, found the answer was five times in a season, and gave the slot to a club he would hit. Most amateurs carry a 3-wood for the same reason they carry a 4-iron: it came with the set.

The shaft choice runs against instinct too. At 120mph he went shorter and heavier rather than longer and lighter, using the build to restrain himself rather than chase speed.

Finch qualified through to Final Open Qualifying in 2025 and has played the PGA Tour Creator Classic and the Internet Invitational, so this bag gets tested in competition rather than only on camera. He made his professional tour debut proper at the Egyptian Open on the Asian Development Tour at the end of October 2025, and he is on the Season 1 roster of Your Golf Tour — the creator circuit launched by Grant Horvat and the Bryan brothers — playing for Team Brad.

Re-verified on 6 October 2026 against Finch's own 2026 bag video, published 5 March 2026 as episode two of his Quest For The Open series. It confirms the GT3 driver, GT280 mini driver, GT3 hybrid on a 95g Tensei, T150 irons, Phantom 9 and Pro V1, and records two changes: a Fujikura Ventus back in the driver, and a new set of Vokey SM11 wedges from a TPI fitting. The video doesn't cover the rotating 3-wood and 2-iron, so those two rows still rest on the 2025 listings. Titleist replaced the GT metalwoods with the GTS family in March 2026, and as of that video he was still on GT heads. Nothing dated since then documents a full bag, so treat this as his early-2026 setup.
