Jon Rahm WITB 2025 (14th May, 2025) - What's In The Bag? The PGA Championship 2025 @ Quail Hollow
Rahm's driver setup is all about controlled aggression. The Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond 10.5° head, paired with the Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft, is a combination designed for players who like to swing hard and demand stability
🏌️♂️ Jon Rahm’s 2025 Season: The Beast, the LIV, and the PGA Pursuit
Jon Rahm's 2025 season has been underwhelming by his own lofty standards. After defecting to LIV Golf in late 2023, the Spaniard has been ticking-over, racking up 19 consecutive top-10 finishes in LIV events. That's right—nineteen. It's as if Rahm decided that if he's going to play for the Saudis, he might as well hang around the top of the leaderboard every single time.
But don't let the consistency fool you. Rahm's journey hasn't been without its quirks. His iron play has been, well, less than stellar this year. In fact, it's been described as the worst iron season of his career, with strokes gained on approach hovering around zero. Yet, he continues to drive the ball with the ferocity of a man who just found out his favorite tapas bar closed down.
At the 2025 Masters, Rahm managed a tied-14th finish, which, while respectable, left him hungry for more. He's been focusing on eliminating bad habits from his swing and improving his emotional control on the course. As he prepares for the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Rahm isn't seeking perfection—he's aiming for consistency, trusting in his overall game and course management.
🏌️♂️ Jon Rahm's 2025 WITB: The Arsenal of a Spanish Bull
🪓 Driver: Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond 10.5°, Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft
Rahm's driver setup is all about controlled aggression. The Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond 10.5° head, paired with the Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft, is a combination designed for players who like to swing hard and demand stability. It's like putting a V8 engine in a compact car—powerful, yet precise.
🔥 3 Wood: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond T HL 16°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8X shaft
The 3-wood is Rahm's fairway finder and par-5 attacker. The Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond T HL 16°, coupled with the Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8X shaft, offers a high launch with low spin, perfect for those towering shots that land soft on the green.
🔥 5 Wood: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond T 18°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8X shaft
For those in-between distances, Rahm turns to his 5-wood. The 18° loft provides versatility, and the same Graphite Design shaft ensures consistency across his fairway woods.
🪛 Irons: Callaway Apex Pro (4), Callaway Apex TCB (5-10), True Temper Project X 6.5 shafts
Rahm's iron setup is a blend of forgiveness and control. The Apex Pro 4-iron offers a bit more help on longer shots, while the Apex TCB irons from 5 to 10 provide the precision needed for scoring. The True Temper Project X 6.5 shafts are known for their stability and low launch, matching Rahm's aggressive swing.
🧂 Wedges: Callaway Jaws Raw 52° (10), 56° (12), Callaway Opus Prototype 60° (04C), True Temper Project X 125 6.5 shafts
Around the greens, Rahm relies on his Callaway Jaws Raw wedges for spin and control. The 60° Opus Prototype is a unique addition, likely tailored to his specific preferences. The heavier Project X 125 6.5 shafts provide a consistent feel across his wedge shots.
🎯 Putter: Odyssey Ai-ONE Rossie S
Putting is where tournaments are won, and Rahm trusts the Odyssey Ai-ONE Rossie S. Its mallet design offers stability, and the Ai-ONE insert provides a soft feel, helping Rahm roll the ball true on the greens.
🏐 Ball: Callaway Chrome Soft X
The Chrome Soft X is a tour-level ball that offers Rahm the spin and control he needs, especially on approach shots and around the green.
✋ Grips: Golf Pride MCC Midsize
Comfort and consistency are key, and the Golf Pride MCC Midsize grips provide Rahm with a secure hold, even under pressure.
🏆 Jon Rahm’s Prospects at the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow
As the 2025 PGA Championship tees off at Quail Hollow, Jon Rahm enters the field with a mix of confidence and caution. While he hasn't secured a win this season, his 19 consecutive top-10 finishes in LIV events showcase a level of consistency that's hard to ignore.
Quail Hollow is a demanding course, stretching over 7,600 yards with several par-4s exceeding 480 yards. It's a layout that rewards power and precision—two attributes that Rahm possesses in spades. His driving game remains a strength, and if he can dial in his iron play, he could be a serious contender.
Rahm's past performances at the PGA Championship include a fourth-place finish in 2018 and an eighth in 2021. While the tournament has eluded him thus far, his experience and recent form suggest he's poised for a breakthrough.
In a field featuring the likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Bryson DeChambeau, Rahm's odds stand at 18-1. While not the favorite, he's certainly among the top contenders. His focus on consistency over perfection could be the key to navigating the challenges of Quail Hollow and finally capturing the Wanamaker Trophy.
