What’s In The Bag: Peter Malnati
Published:
What golf clubs does Peter Malnati use? Let’s take a look inside the bag of the two-time PGA Tour winner.
Peter Malnati is playing in his eleventh season as a member of the PGA Tour. Over those years on Tour, Malnati has recorded two victories, his first came back in 2015 at the Sanderson Farms Champions. The American’s most recent win on the PGA Tour was at the 2024 Valspar Championship.
Malnati enjoyed his first victory on the PGA Tour 3,058 days after his first. Much has changed in the nine years since the Tennessee resident won on Tour. The Titleist Brand Ambassador was met on the final hole – after sinking his winning putt – by his wife and their two children in what was an emotional victory for the twelfth victor on the PGA Tour this season.
Not only was this a monumental victory Malnati was able to share with his family, but it also earned him an invite to the Masters at Augusta National. The 36-year-old has never played in the Masters, 2024 is the first year Malnati will compete for the Green Jacket.
Being a Titleist Brand Ambassador, Malnati plays with a full set of Titleist golf clubs and he also plays with a Titleist golf ball. However, the ball used by Malnati is somewhat different from those used by his competitors, in that he plays with a yellow golf ball.
Peter Malnati had this to say about why he plays with a yellow golf ball, “The reason I switched to it is because my, at the time, 3-year-old, now 4, liked them. He’s kind of over it now, but it still makes me think of him, and that’s worth a smile or 2, which is worth a lot out there for me.”
Let’s take a look at the Titleist equipment gamed by Peter Malnati, that helped him to his first victory since 2015…
