A look back at Tiger Woods' winning bag at the 2007 TOUR Championship

Tiger Woods' electrifying front-nine 28
Tiger Woods’ 2007 FedExCup victory saw him fire rounds of 64-63-64-66 for a resounding eight-stroke victory in the inaugural edition of the FedExCup Playoffs. It was, in short, a vintage performance and a classic example of Woods answering the bell.
Woods shot the lowest 72-hole score of his career at East Lake to claim the inaugural FedExCup. His equipment setup was similar to the formula he’d used throughout his career, with the exception of the driver. He was just a few years into using a 460cc head and graphite shaft.
The rough formula is below.
● Latest iteration of his sponsor’s woods
● Mitsubishi Diamana shafts
● Prototype irons built to similar specs and shaping to the Titleist 681T irons Larry Bobka developed early in Woods’ career
● Mike Taylor (now of Artisan Golf) crafted wedges
● His “Elder Wand” Scotty Cameron
● Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grips played since time out of mind
● True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts in irons (X100), wedges (S400)

As a point of comparison, take a look at what was in Woods’ bag for his iconic TOUR Championship win 11 years later. As we always say about Tiger’s setup, the DNA remains the same — and usually the putter, when comparing two points in time. The Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter Woods wielded for 14 of his 15 major victories was in the bag for the wins in question.
A TaylorMade staffer in 2018, Woods’ woods were TM rather than Nike. Woods' shafts stay in the family but get a little lighter. Prototype irons built to Woods’ specs, same wedge lofts in similar designs...more similarities than differences, to be sure!
