Davis Thompson is a former World No. 1 Amateur who set a John Deere Classic scoring record of 28 under for his first PGA Tour victory last July. It helped the 25-year-old St. Simons Island, Ga., native earn a spot in his first Masters this coming April, along with qualifying him for all the PGA Tour’s signature events in 2025.

My game took off last summer after I got a Trackman and switched to Titleist irons,” Thompson said. “The Trackman lets me dial in my numbers, so when I get on the course, it’s simply creating the feeling I need to hit the ball whatever distance I want.”

Titleist GT3

Specs: 9°, Mitsubishi Diamana DF 70 TX shaft, 45 inches

After the FedEx Cup Playoffs last year, I started messing around with the GT3. I got it dialed in and played with it in Las Vegas, and I’ve been rolling with it ever since. I like the acoustics of this one better than the TSR3. It sounds a little more muffled. I’m getting faster ball speeds, too, which is always good, and I haven’t lost any dispersion.

With the 7-wood I can hit a high cut, or if I need to go after one, I can swing hard, and it’s not going to spin up on me. Off the tee, I can put the ball in the middle of my stance and hit a flighted one that’s going to roll out. I’m able to hit whatever shot I want with it.

I switched to the 620 MB irons last April. Since this was photographed, I’ve added the T150 4-iron. The head-shaft combo on the MBs helps me get the right spin numbers and yardage gaps.

Specs: 46°/10, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft; 50°/08, 54°/08, 60°/04, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts

I’m comfortable with the T grind on my 60-degree on any type of grass. I can lay the club flat and hit a big flop shot and don’t feel like I’m going to bounce it into the ball, which is great. The M grind on my 54-degree helps with more into-the-grain shots, as that grind goes through the turf a little better.

Since this was photographed, I started transitioning back to the OG 7S slant neck putter that I used to win the John Deere Classic last July. I used it the majority of last year and had a lot of success with it. I just wanted to go back to what feels good and is familiar to me. I putted with a similar putter in college and have been rolling with the OG since my Korn Ferry days.

I’ve been playing the Pro V1 since my junior year at Georgia. It hits all the right windows, and I like that it doesn’t spin too much on me.

This headcover is from the 2021 Walker Cup matches. What a cool experience! Hopefully, I can represent the U.S. again some day in the Ryder Cup.

When I graduated college, my cousins gave me this yardage book cover. Embroidered on it is the crumb pie my grandmother used to make.
