What clubs is he using?

A tradesman is only as good as his tools, and with golf, things are no different. Here’s a look at the clubs that Rory is currently using. At the beginning of 2019, Rory switched to a TaylorMade M5 Driver, cranked to 7.5 degrees. For his woods on the fairway, McIlroy opts for both the TaylorMade M6 set at 15 degrees, and the TaylorMade M5 set at 19 degrees. As far as irons go, the Northern Irishman uses the TaylorMade P750 Tour Proto 4-iron, along with TaylorMade P750 5 – 9 irons. On each of these irons you’ll see that they feature the stamp reading ‘Rors Proto’. As for wedges, Rory uses the TaylorMade Milled Grind set at 52 degrees, 56 degrees, and 60 degrees. Not too long ago, Rory found that his putting was letting him down on the greens. Since switching to the TaylorMade Spider X Copper, however, his putting has improved drastically.
