Will Zalatoris WITB 2025 (9th May, 2025) - What's In The Bag? Truist Championship 2025 @ The Philadelphia Cricket Club

🎯 Will Zalatoris in 2025: The Rollercoaster Continues

Will Zalatoris, the lanky Texan with a swing jerkier than a jazz saxophonist's solo, has had a 2025 season that's been as unpredictable as a British summer. After a promising start to his career, including a win at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship and several near-misses at majors, fans were eager to see if 2025 would be the year he finally broke through consistently. Spoiler alert: it's been a mixed bag.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Zalatoris kicked off the year at The Sentry, finishing T26 with a respectable -19. However, a bizarre incident involving a ball mix-up with Cameron Davis on the 15th hole cost both players significant prize money and left commentators scratching their heads.

He followed up with a T12 at The American Express, showing flashes of brilliance. But inconsistency has plagued him since. A T48 at Pebble Beach, a missed cut at the Masters, and a T47 at the Valspar Championship have left fans wondering which version of Zalatoris will show up each week.

Adding to the drama, he withdrew from the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his hometown event, without a disclosed reason.

Stats Don't Lie

Statistically, Zalatoris has been solid but unspectacular. He's made the cut in 8 out of 9 events but has yet to crack the top 10. His putting remains a work in progress, with an average of 29.83 putts per round on Fridays and Sundays.

🏌️‍♂️ What's in Will Zalatoris's Bag?

Zalatoris's equipment setup is as meticulous as his pre-shot routine. Here's a breakdown of the tools he's using to navigate the 2025 season.

Driver: Titleist GT3 9°, Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6X Shaft

The GT3 provides a low-spin, penetrating ball flight, ideal for Zalatoris's aggressive swing. Paired with the Ventus TR Black 6X shaft, it's a combo designed for maximum control and stability.

3 Wood: Titleist TSi2 15°, Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 8X Shaft

The TSi2 offers forgiveness and distance, while the Ventus TR Blue 8X shaft provides a mid-launch, low-spin profile, perfect for those tight fairways.

Utility: Titleist T350 (3), Nippon N.S. Pro Prototype Graphite on Steel Technology Prototype Hybrid 10 STX Shaft

This hybrid-iron combo offers the best of both worlds: the forgiveness of a hybrid with the control of an iron. The unique shaft blend ensures a smooth transition from long irons to woods.

Irons: Titleist T200 (4), T150 (5-PW), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Shafts

Zalatoris opts for the T200 in the 4-iron for added forgiveness and the T150 from 5-PW for precision. The X100 shafts provide a consistent, penetrating ball flight.

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 “G” (08F), “S” (10S), “L” (04T), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Shafts

His wedge setup allows for versatility around the greens. The different grinds cater to various turf conditions, and the X100 shafts maintain consistency throughout his set.

Putter: L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max, L.A.B. Golf Split Grip

Known for its lie-angle balance technology, the Mezz.1 Max helps Zalatoris maintain a square face through impact. The split grip promotes a stable, consistent stroke.

Ball: Titleist ProV1x

A staple among professionals, the ProV1x offers a high launch and low spin, aiding in distance and control.

Grip: Golf Pride Z Cord/Tour Tack

These grips provide a firm feel and excellent moisture management, ensuring Zalatoris maintains control in all conditions.

🔮 The Truist Championship: Can Zalatoris Break Through?

As the inaugural Truist Championship approaches, all eyes are on Zalatoris. The tournament, held at the challenging Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course, demands precision and mental fortitude.

Course Fit

The Wissahickon Course, with its tight fairways and undulating greens, seems tailor-made for Zalatoris's strengths. His ball-striking prowess and iron play could give him an edge. However, the course's demanding greens will test his putting, historically his Achilles' heel.

Mental Game

Zalatoris's mental toughness will be crucial. The pressure of securing his first win since 2022 and proving he's more than just a perennial runner-up could either motivate or hinder him.

Prediction

If Zalatoris can find consistency with his putter and avoid mental lapses, he has the tools to contend. A top-10 finish is within reach, and with a bit of luck, he could be hoisting the trophy come Sunday.
