# Rory McIlroy's WITB: inside the 2026 bag

> The Masters champion overhauled roughly half his bag for 2026. Here's every club — the new Qi4D driver, the MG5 wedges and the ball switch that flew under the radar.

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

Rory McIlroy is a full TaylorMade staffer and 2026 was a big reset year — he changed something like seven of his 14 clubs. The new Qi4D driver leads it, a Qi4D 5-wood joins the Qi10 three-wood, the wedges stepped up to the fifth-generation MG5, and he quietly moved from the TP5x ball to the softer TP5.

The irons are the constant: his familiar Rors Proto blades from 5 to 9 with a P760 four-iron on top, the setup he keeps coming back to even after trialling new heads.

## Quick facts
- **Tour:** PGA Tour
- **Clubs:** TaylorMade

## Notes

The under-the-radar change is the ball. Moving from TP5x to the softer TP5 is a spin-and-flight decision most amateurs never think about but that reshapes a whole short game. Pair that with the new Qi4D driver and MG5 wedges and 2026 was one of Rory's bigger equipment resets in years.
