Long bomber Min Woo Lee has ditched the three wood and will only use his driver sparingly in his most measured approach to a Masters yet.

One of the biggest hitters in world golf, Lee credits some minor swing adjustments for yielding the most consistent results of his career and will happily sacrifice length off the tee for more accuracy at Augusta National.

The world No.25 will spearhead a four-strong Australian assault at the season's first major championship starting on Thursday week and knows his game is good enough to compete with golf's elite.

Lee is fresh off the back of a tie for third at last week's Houston Open and doesn't feel the need to go for broke and push the limits off the tee, prioritising finding fairways in his quest to join older sister Minjee as a major champion.

That's why Lee will use a mini driver with 13.5-degree as much as his traditional 10-degree "big dog", rather than carry a three wood among his 14 clubs.

"It's a mini driver but, yeah, I would say my mini driver now is acting a lot more like a driver," the Perth ace said from the US on Tuesday.

"It actually goes very far for that club and that loft, especially hitting a draw. 

"But I can hit every shot with it. It's very versatile, but especially with a draw and a lot of holes that Augusta sets up for that, I think it is an advantage I needed."

Lee believes he is "technically carrying two drivers" and plans to use them both equally at Augusta.

"It's weird to a point but it's helped so far," he said.

"I had it in the bag last year for the first time at the Masters and then I evolved. I got the new Quantum mini driver in and it's been a weapon since I've had it in the bag."

A model of consistency in 2026, Lee also tied for second at Pebble Beach, shared sixth place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and was joint 12th at Riviera.

Feeling his game has never been in better shape to contend, Lee will sit out this week's Texas Open and likely arrive at Augusta on Saturday or Sunday to prepare meticulously for his latest green jacket tilt.

He plans to ease into the week, not over practise, before ramping his preparations on Monday and Tuesday.

"I mean, this is my fifth one now, I understand where not to hit it," the 27-year-old said.

"You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know where to hit and where the smart places are."

And as become custom, Lee said he would likely enjoy a practice hit with countrymen Adam Scott, the 2013 champion, fellow former world No.1 Jason Day and 2020 runner-up Cameron Smith before Thursday's first round.
