# Russell Henley's WITB: the most stubbornly old bag on tour

> A 2020 driver, a 2018 fairway and irons most tour pros would have replaced twice over — Henley's Titleist set-up is the strongest argument going that newest isn't best.

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

Russell Henley wins with equipment most tour players would have retired years ago. He drives a Titleist TSi3 that launched in 2020, hits a Titleist TS3 fairway from 2018, and his 5-to-9 irons are the original 2019 Titleist T100 — a set he has kept in play through his recent run of wins. A Titleist Vokey SM11 wedge quartet and a Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 tour prototype complete a full Titleist and Scotty Cameron bag.

The one recent addition is the interesting part. A Titleist GTS3 7-wood at 21 degrees went into the bag only a couple of weeks before his 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge win, giving him a high, steep-landing long option and pushing his long iron count down to a single Titleist T250 4-iron. It is a bag built on trust rather than novelty.

## Notes

The 2026 change that mattered was a Titleist GTS3 7-wood, added shortly before the Charles Schwab Challenge and kept in play since.

Driver, fairway and irons are all several generations old — Henley is one of the clearest examples on tour of a player who only changes when he has a reason to.

Four Vokey SM11 wedges (48/50/54/60) squeeze the top of his bag down to a single T250 4-iron.
