Sam Burns is ready to go, and his bag is packed with surprises. As the Presidents Cup 2026 unfolds, we're taking a closer look at the equipment of the U.S. star, whose gear holds more secrets than meets the eye. His arsenal is currently heavily Callaway-centric, featuring a Callaway Triple Diamond S Driver and the Chrome Tour X Ball. However, sources report deviations that make things even more intriguing.
A Champion's Arsenal
A look at the September 2026 WITB (What's In The Bag) update, published by Today's Golfer, reveals Burns focuses on power and precision. His driver is a Callaway Triple Diamond S, adjusted from 9° to a powerful 10°, and features a Fujikura Ventus Blue 7TX shaft. For longer shots, he relies on a Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond 3-wood (15° adjusted to 16°), while his irons, Callaway Apex TCB from 4-PW, are fitted with Project X Rifle 6.5 shafts. His wedges, Titleist Vokey SM10 in 50°, 56°, and 60°, are the precision tools for his short game.
With this setup, Burns not only gains confidence in his game but also secures points on the green. He recently triumphed alongside Scottie Scheffler in the opening Four-Ball at the Presidents Cup against Min Woo Lee and Sungjae Im. A stellar round that gave the U.S. team a crucial boost and demonstrates that his current gear is performing exceptionally well.
Equipment Shifts at the Presidents Cup
This is where it gets interesting: A look at GolfWRX's Presidents Cup WITB lists reveals slight differences. They mention a Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Driver and Apex MB irons, instead of the Triple Diamond S and Apex TCB combination. This suggests that Burns actively adjusts his setup during intense tournament phases – a common move observed among top golfers, keeping him flexible.
It remains to be seen how Burns' bag will evolve further throughout the 2026 season. One thing is clear, however: with or without minor adjustments, his game is exceptionally strong, and he is a crucial pillar for the U.S. team. We are excited to see what arsenal he uses to secure his next victories!
