Equipment changes made by golf’s biggest names in 2020

Stars like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler have made gear changes. See what they’re using now.

January is gone and February is flying by, so most professional golfers have played a few events in 2020. Many of the game’s elite players have made changes to their equipment. If history is a guide, driver changes tend to be the easiest for most pros to make, and the most permanent, while putter changes can be short-lived.

Here are a few of the equipment changes made by golf’s best players that we have spotted so far this season.
