EQUIPMENT NOTES:
Smith has now entered the top-10 of the world rankings for the first time following his record breaking win, and gives a new product a victory in its first event since appearing on Tour. Widely considered one of the best wedge players in the game, Smith put Titleist’s new SM9 Vokey wedges in play this week after the model was first shown to the public earlier in the week in Hawaii. Smith’s wedge setup is largely the same as it has been in the past, with the exception of the 60° which has an S Grind as opposed to the T Grind he used in late 2021.-
The now four-time PGA Tour winner continues the strong run of success for Titleist’s TSi range of drivers since being released, as well as the T Series irons. Smith’s T100 irons carrying a black finish paired with matte black shafts for a stealth-like look.

The 28-year-old’s win gives Titleist golf balls a seventh win from 11 PGA Tour events in the new season, including the unofficial Hero World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods.
