Sam Burns' WITB: a Callaway bag with Titleist wedges
A Callaway staffer from driver to golf ball, with one deliberate exception — he moved to Titleist's Vokey SM11 wedges at the start of 2026.
By Jordan Hale · Equipment Writer
Sam Burns plays one of the purest sets on the PGA Tour: Callaway Apex MB blades from 4-iron through pitching wedge, behind a Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond S driver and a Callaway Chrome Tour X ball. The long end is unusually tidy for a player of his speed, with a matching Quantum Triple Diamond 3-wood and a single Apex UW filling the gap to the blades.
The interesting wrinkle is the scoring end. Burns is a Callaway staff player, but he moved to Titleist Vokey SM11 wedges at the start of the 2026 season, so his three most-used clubs into greens carry a rival badge. The putter is an Odyssey Ai-One 7S mallet, a mid-mallet rather than the blade you might expect alongside blade irons.

The story of the bag
The headline 2026 change is the wedges: Burns moved into Titleist Vokey SM11 heads at the start of the season, making him a Callaway staffer with a Titleist scoring set.
Both his driver and 3-wood are Quantum Triple Diamond heads played a degree open of their stamped loft, so the stated 9° and 15° are not his playing lofts.
The Apex UW at 21° replaces a conventional hybrid or long iron and has been singled out as a club he leans on at Augusta National.
