Winning WITB: Rory McIlroy's Irish Open Winning Clubs

Rory McIlroy's golf bag with Rory McIlroy hitting clubs around him.

Rory McIlroy produced an incredible display at the Amgen Irish Open, eagling the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Joakim Lagergren, before defeating the Swede with a birdie at the third playoff hole.

Claiming a second Irish Open title at The K Club, it was McIlroy's fourth win of 2025, adding to his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Players Championship and Masters victories.

The win is a big positive for McIlroy, who hadn't won since Augusta National in April, as the five-time Major winner also had some new clubs in the bag for what is a busy month for the 36-year-old.

Signing with TaylorMade in 2017, McIlroy has used their clubs ever since and, at The K Club, he introduced some new wedges to the bag, swapping the TaylorMade MG4 for the new MG5s.

It was a positive move for McIlroy, who will now head to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth next week, as well as the Ryder Cup in Bethpage Black at the end of the month.

McIlroy has used different variations of the TaylorMade Qi10 but, for the majority of the season, he has used the standard Qi10 with a 9° head that is set at 7.5°.

Previously, he had been using the Qi10 Dot, which is the same model as Scottie Scheffler uses, but McIlroy reverted back to the standard Qi10 with a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft.

Fairway Wood

Like so many professionals, McIlroy has the TaylorMade Qi10 fairway wood in the bag, which has been a regular feature for some time.

Using the Qi10 3-wood in 15°, he has also had the Qi10 5-wood in his bag, which is set at 18°. They're fitted with Fujikura Ventus Black 8 X and 9 X shafts.

Utility Iron

Depending on course conditions, McIlroy will use a TaylorMade P760 2-iron and 4-iron, with the five-time Major winner spotted using the 4-iron throughout the week at The K Club.

Irons

Since 2017, McIlroy has used a set of TaylorMade Rors Proto irons, a set of irons constructed of 1025 carbon steel. He has them from 5-iron through to 9-iron.

The Rors Protos were part of the custom series of golf irons made for a number of prominent TaylorMade staff players. At the time, these included Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose.

Wedges

Prior to the start of the Irish Open, the big story was that McIlroy had swapped out the TaylorMade MG4 wedges for the MG5s, with the eventual champion opting for the same set-up in terms of lofts.

Featuring a 46° (09SB), 50° (09-SB), 54° (11SB) and 60° (08LB bent to 61°), all four wedges have Project X Rifle 6.5 shafts and helped McIlroy rank 24th in terms of Strokes Gained: Around the Green at the Irish Open.

Putter

Like many TaylorMade staffers, such as Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood, McIlroy has the TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter in the bag and has done since 2024.

It has a short slant hosel and, despite originally using one with a gunmetal PVD finish, he now uses one with a custom 'torched' finish. McIlroy ranked 14th in terms of Strokes Gained: Putting at The K Club.

Golf Ball

At the start of 2025, prior to his win at Pebble Beach, McIlroy switched from the TaylorMade TP5x to the TP5 golf ball.

Providing a RORS stamp, the golf ball change has helped him to four victories this season, including the Irish Open.
