Nick Taylor is a five-time PGA Tour winner, including the 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii. Back in 2023, he became the first Canadian to win his national open.
“I started messing with a hybrid at the Zurich Classic in 2023,” Taylor said. “I wanted something I could hit 230 to 235 yards. The spin and height I get with that club make it perfect between my 4-iron and 5-wood.”
DRIVER 
J.D. Cuban
Titleist TSi3
SPECS: 10°, Fujikura Atmos Blue Tour Spec 6X shaft, 45.5 inches
It has been difficult to find a driver that spins consistently for me and has the launch that I like. Everything is lower spinning. That’s why I’ve been with the TSi3 since 2022. Last summer, the face cracked, and I had a hard time finding a replacement. Luckily, I found one, and I’ve been playing it ever since.
FAIRWAY WOODS/HYBRID

TaylorMade Qi10
SPECS: 15°, Mitsubishi Tensei AV 75 TX shaft; TaylorMade SIM2 Max, 18°, Mitsubishi Tensei AV 85 TX shaft; Titleist TSR2, 21°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 95 X shaft
The 5-wood has been in my bag for five years. I launch it high, and it’s great out of the rough—I don’t have to worry about hitting it choppy out of a thick lie. I can chase it onto the green.
IRONS 
J.D. Cuban
4-iron: Titleist T150; 5-to 9-irons: Titleist T100
SPECS: True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shafts, Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align grips
The 4-iron was a change during the week of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. I wanted an extra six to seven yards of carry, and the Titleist reps were able to shave it down, so the offset wasn’t there. Right away, it took off in the nice, high window I like.

Titleist Vokey SM10 & Titleist Vokey Design Wedge-Works
SPECS: 47°, 53°: Titleist Vokey SM10; 59°: Titleist Vokey Design Wedge-Works, True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shafts
I’ve predominantly been a lob-wedge chipper throughout my career, but I’ve grown to like the 53-degree because of the higher bounce, especially in Bermuda grass. I like having the versatility of two different bounce angles in the 53 and 59 because that allows me to use the same motion, making it easy to hit the ball solid.

I was on the cusp of losing my PGA Tour card in 2018. I had a week off before the Wyndham Championship and spent an hour in my local Golf Town trying all types of putters. I was sure I’d walk out with one, but I just wasn’t sold on any, so I stuck with the putter I’d used the weekend before. I finished top 10, kept my card and have been using this putter ever since.

My son, Charlie, loves dinosaurs. If I’m fumbling for tees in my bag and find his stegosaurus figurine, it just puts a smile on my face.
KIDS’ LUCK

I switched to the Pro V1x in January 2022. The “C” on my ball is for my son and the “H” is for my daughter, Harper.
