Robert MacIntyre Bag Check: Every Club He Plays in 2026
Fayrway Pros · 10 September 2026

Robert MacIntyre is one of the very few genuine left-handers at the top of the men's game, and his bag is a lesson in loyalty. It is nearly all Titleist: a Titleist GTS2 driver, a set of 620 CB irons, a full run of Vokey wedges and a Titleist Pro V1x ball. The exceptions are the two woods he simply will not give up, a decade-old TaylorMade fairway and a Stealth 2 hybrid, plus a custom Scotty Cameron on the greens. It is not a bag built by a marketing department. It is a bag built by an Oban man who trusts what works.
The headline change this season was the driver. MacIntyre put the newer Titleist GTS2 in play in place of his long-serving TSR2, and the numbers backed him up straight away, with his driving average climbing noticeably once it went in the bag. Everything around it, though, is proof that he does not chase new for the sake of new.

The driver: Titleist GTS2
MacIntyre is not a huge man, but he swings hard and finds the fairway, and the Titleist GTS2 in a strong 9 degrees suits a player who wants speed without giving up control. It runs a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7 X, a shaft that has been a tour staple for years because it is stable through impact without feeling like a broom handle. If you want the same category of confidence off the tee, this is exactly the sort of low-spin, adjustable head worth looking at in our drivers range.
The old woods he will not part with
Here is the honest, human part of the bag. His 3-wood is a TaylorMade AeroBurner, a club first released in 2015. His hybrid is a TaylorMade Stealth 2 Rescue. Both are years older than the rest of his setup, and both are still in there because he trusts the flight. Plenty of pros do this: they will change a driver in a heartbeat but hang on to a fairway wood or a hybrid that just goes where they look. It is a useful reminder that the newest club is not automatically the best club for you.
Irons and wedges: full Vokey, full control
The Titleist 620 CB irons are compact forged cavity backs, the sort of head a ball-striker of MacIntyre's quality can shape both ways without fighting it. They sit on Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts, which is about as classic and demanding a setup as tour golf offers. Explore similar players' heads in our irons section.
His wedges are a clean four-piece Vokey spread: an SM10 at 46 degrees, two SM9s at 50 and 56 degrees, and a WedgeWorks 60. That is a gapping most club golfers can learn from, roughly even steps from the pitching wedge down to the lob wedge, all set on the same Dynamic Gold Onyx shafts so the feel never changes hand to hand. If you are building out your short game, our wedges follow the same logic.
The putter: a blade, always a blade
On the greens MacIntyre uses a custom Scotty Cameron 9.5R, worked over with a milled face and a shortened plumber neck to add toe hang. He has been tempted by a mallet at points this year, which is worth flagging honestly, but the blade keeps ending up back in his hands. It is a reminder that putter feel is deeply personal and that fit beats fashion. See the blade and mallet options in our putters range.

On the ball, MacIntyre plays the Titleist Pro V1x, having moved up from the standard Pro V1. The X flies a touch higher and feels a shade firmer, which suits a player who wants a strong, penetrating ball flight and predictable spin into greens. As a left-hander he also wears his glove on the right hand, and as a full Titleist staffer that glove is a plain Titleist model. Want to understand the Pro V1 versus Pro V1x decision for your own swing speed? Our guide to golf ball compression and swing speed walks through it.
The closest setup you can actually buy
You will not walk into a shop and buy MacIntyre's exact bag, because the driver is dialled to his swing, the wedges are ground for his hands and the putter is a custom one-off. But you can get very close in spirit. Play a strong-lofted, adjustable driver, put forged players' cavity-back irons on Dynamic Gold shafts, run a four-wedge Vokey-style gapping, and gamer a blade putter if that is what your stroke wants. The one part you can copy exactly, today, is the ball: the Pro V1x is on the shelf for anyone. And if you want more setups like this, the full Bag Check series breaks down what the best players in the world actually carry.
