FINAL LEADERBOARD

EQUIPMENT NOTES:

  • Having started the year in Hawaii with TaylorMade’s new SIM2 driver, Johnson returned to his SIM driver he had so much success with as he ventured to the European Tour and the Saudi International, a tournament he is now a combined 44-under over three years. Ranking third for Strokes Gained: Driving for the week, Johnson’s driver is fitted with the same Fujikura Speeder 661 shaft he has used for the majority of his career.

  • Johnson continues to carry a SIM Max 7-wood that made its way into his bag in the lead-up to his success at Augusta National in November last year. Uniquely, ‘DJ’ carries the 7-wood with 21˚ of loft as well as a 3-iron carrying a similar loft. Despite this, the added length of the 7-wood plus the variance in head designs would create a distance variance, as well as the likelihood that the 7-wood has been delofted.

  • Johnson, who defeated Justin Rose and Tony Finau by two shots with his final round 68, gives TaylorMade’s TP5 range of golf balls its first victory on the European Tour for 2021, while his win and Brooks Koepka’s victory in Scottsdale give TaylorMade drivers a double win weekend.
