Dustin Johnson What's In The Bag?
Dustin Johnson joined LIV Golf in 2022, a move that sent shockwaves through the game. Not a lot else has changed for this cool customer - he still hits the ball a mile and he still plays TaylorMade gear. Let's take a closer look inside the former Master champion's bag.
Driver
What Driver Does Dustin Johnson Use?
The American has the TaylorMade Qi10 LS driver in the bag for 2024, which has 10.5° of loft. This is another solid, high-performing ‘better player’ driver from TaylorMade, which has moveable weight behind the face that allows golfers to alter shot shape while keeping spin low for maximum distance.
Fairway Woods
What Fairway Wood Does Dustin Johnson Use?
As far as we know, Johnson is still using a TaylorMade Stealth 2 three wood. The two-time Major winner likes a weaker three wood due to the immense distances that he hits the ball. He also has an older TaylorMade Stealth 21° seven wood, adding in a nice gap between his three wood and three iron.
In the past, Johnson has put a TaylorMade Stealth Rescue into play as well as a TaylorMade Stealth nine wood, which has approximately 24° of loft. It's a part of the bag that doesn't seem to be set in stone.
Irons
What Irons Does Dustin Johnson Use?
Johnson's three iron to pitching wedge are the P730 DJ Proto irons. These are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts, a shaft that he has used in his irons ever since his junior days.
The DJ Protos were part of the custom series of irons made for a number of prominent TaylorMade staff players, including Rory McIlroy and (at the time) Justin Rose. They all featured slightly altered profiles of the TaylorMade P730 iron, featuring either a unique grind or blade length profile.
Wedges
What Wedges Does Dustin Johnson Use?
Johnson hasn't always been one for using new TaylorMade wedges when they came along, but recent pictures suggest that he does now play with TaylorMade MG4 wedges. So far as we know, he's not changed the lofts, sticking with a 52° and 60°. He has used a TaylorMade Milled Grind Hi-Toe wedge with 64° in the past, but this comes in and out of his setup.
The MG4 is a beautiful-looking wedge that spins at a consistently high level regardless of conditions. A raw face is contrasted nicely by the outer body of the wedge to boost confidence behind the ball. They are unquestionably one of the best wedges for chipping.
Putter
What Putter Does Dustin Johnson Use?
DJ's choice of flatstick is the TaylorMade Spider Tour V putter. The manufacturer's Spiders always feature prominently in any list of the best putters, with the original Spider Tour one of the most recognisable putters in golf.
The Spider Tour putter comes into its own on off-center strikes, as it helps maintain the direction and control of the putt. This makes it one of the most forgiving putters on the market.
Ball
What Ball Does Dustin Johnson Use?
Johnson has played the TaylorMade TP5x ball for a while, and we can only assume that he's now using the new 2024 model. There are genuine, tangible improvements in this ball from the previous iteration. The manufacturer has achieved an increase in speed throughout the bag while somehow providing a softer feel and maintaining spin characteristics. This is one of the best premium golf balls money can buy.
Apparel/Shoes
What Shoes Does Dustin Johnson Wear?
In 2023, Johnson was seen wearing non-adidas golf shoes for the first time in his career following his split with the brand after 15 years. Since then, he appears to have settled on FootJoy shoes, with his first non-adidas pair being the the Premiere Series Packard.
In terms of clothing, in August 2023, Johnson's LIV Golf team 4 Aces GC team announced that it had partnered with Extracurricular as its official on-course apparel sponsor.
