What’s In The Bag: Brooks Koepka
Published: Last updated:
What’s in the bag of five-time Major champion and LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka.
Brooks Koepka was one of the many Nike Tour staff who found themselves without an equipment deal when the company stopped making clubs in 2016.
For several years, he chose not to get tied into another full-bag contract and instead picked the clubs he wanted to play from a variety of manufacturers, before signing with Srixon and Cleveland in 2021.
“I’ve been an equipment free agent for the past few years, so it will be fun to be involved with a company on a daily basis and be able to contribute to the development of their future equipment,” said Koepka, on signing the deal. “I put the ZX7 irons in play in January and it is the best iron I have played on Tour. ”
He joined the brand’s impressive line-up of tour players which includes fellow Major champions Hideki Matsuyama, Shane Lowry, Graeme McDowell, Keegan Bradley, Inbee Park, Minjee Lee, and Hannah Green.
Koepka’s clubs are still an interesting mix, though, with one or two from other manufacturers, including a couple of pretty old clubs.
Let’s take a look at what club’s Five-time major champion and Ryder Cup star Brooks Koepka has in his Srixon golf bag in 2023.
What’s In The Bag: Brooks Koepka
What driver does Brooks Koepka use?
Brooks Koepka uses a TaylorMade SIM2 driver
During Ryder Cup week we noticed Brooks had switched out his Srixon ZX5 MKII LS driver for TaylorMade's 2021 SIM2 model.

| Lofts | 8° / 9° / 10.5° |
| Stock shafts | Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Blue 60 or Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 70 |
| Stock grip | Golf Pride Z-Grip |
| Adjustable hosel | Yes (+/- 2°) |
What fairway wood does Brooks Koepka use?
Brooks Koepka uses a TaylorMade M2 Tour HL Fairway Wood (16.5°) with a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 80 TX shaft
Fast, far and forgiving say TaylorMade. Everything from previous iterations of the M2 was stripped back to bare bones and improved for the 2017 model.
The carbon crown’s reduced to six layers, there’s a longer and more flexible speed pocket and a lighter fluted hosel all to increase ball speed, carry distance, and forgiveness. There’s also some serious “geocoustic” engineering to tune sound and feel.

What irons does Brooks Koepka use?
Brooks Koepka uses a Nike Vapor Pro 3-iron with a Fujikura Pro Tour Spec 95 X Shaft
No wonder he is a fan of the trusted Nike club, it has seen him lift five major titles in a dominant spell of his career.
He has replaced it a few times over the years but for all his major successes it has featured and we can't see it leaving any time soon.

Brooks Koepka uses Srixon ZX7 MKII Irons (4-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts
Our pro was really impressed by the feel and feedback from the ZX7, and the data it produced against its peers (see our 2021 Players’ Iron Test here)is undeniably impressive. A 7-iron carry of 168 yards was our third longest in testing, but more impressive than that was how the ZX7 combined that power with only dropping seven yards (4.2%) between on- and off-center strikes (third best), which really helps consistency and scoring on the course.

| Availability | 4-PW |
| Stock shaft | Nippon NS Pro Modus3 Tour 120 |
| Stock grip | Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 |
| 7-iron loft | 32° |
What wedges does Brooks Koepka use?
Brooks Koepka uses Cleveland RTX ZipCore Tour Rack Raw Wedges (46°, 52°, 56°, 60°) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts
Around the green is perhaps the area of Bradley's game that lacks consistency. His statistics following victory at the Travelers show he performs as well as anyone from the fringe, however, he sits considerably below the field average when it comes to sand saves and scrambling from the rough, getting up and down only 45% and 51% of the time respectively.
Cleveland are wedge legends, and the ZipCore is just the most recent step in a very long line of brilliant models. You really can’t go wrong with them, we love the ZipCore’s straight leading edge and the brilliant feel and feedback. Each groove is closer (7.4%) so there are two more grooves per face. The grooves are also deeper than ever so they’re better at channeling away debris, as well as being 11% sharper to maximize spin on every single shot.

Pros
- Exceptional levels of spin and feel
- Designed to help channel away debris
- Good level of forgiveness on full approach shots
Cons
- Not as many grind options as some other models

| Stock shafts | 46° - 62° in 2° increments |
| Stock grips | Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 |

What golf apparel does Brooks Koepka wear?
What golf shoes does Brooks Koepka wear?
Brooks Koepka wears the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour Next% Golf Shoes
We weren't alone in feeling the previous iteration was too narrow for our feet. Nike have listened and increased the overall volume to give your foot more room, which means this will have more mass market appeal.
A new plush padded collar at the ankle helps increase support and cushioning while reducing heel slip. The shoe now sports two Zoom air units and customer feedback has seen new spikes integrated into the heel and toe for much-improved traction.
There have also been improvements to the upper which is both breathable and durable. We also found it very easy to clean, which is a key factor in our reviews.
See how the Air Zoom Infinity Tour Next% compares to the best Nike golf shoes.
Pros
- Air bubble
- Soft underfoot
- Great grip
Cons
- Not the easiest to keep clean
