Amateur Adjacent: Best mid- to high-handicap options similar to Brooks Koepka’s winning bag

While the PGA Championship winner’s setup might work for some, there are more suitable options for amateurs that are in the same brand lineup as Koepka’s.

Brooks Koepka held off the weather, the field, and the tight track at Oak Hill to claim his third PGA Championship, tying notable icons Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead in Wanamaker Trophy history.

For Koepka, it’s a comeback tale that only sports can provide, a one-eighty from injury-plagued seasons that were saturated in doubt.

That’s now in the rearview as the talented golfer secures his fifth major, a solid follow-up act to his 2023 Masters run.

As expected, the national stage always piques amateur golfers’ interest, especially regarding what’s in the bag. And that includes high school golfers who are tinkering with their equipment ahead of the summer practices and the fall seasons—in certain states—after that. 

With that in mind, here’s the full breakdown, which includes other options that might fit higher handicappers a litter better.
