Chris Gotterup is golf’s latest young up-and-coming star after taking down Rory McIlroy at the Genesis Scottish Open. His win highlights another solid bag setup of a bomber after Aldrich Potgieter won two weeks ago.
Gotterup’s win is significant for two of the three brands he utilizes in his setup. The soon-to-be 26-year-old, who punched his ticket to the Open Championship with the win, is a Bridgestone staffer and not only plays the company’s Tour B X golf ball, but also their recently released 220 MB irons.
The 220 series irons were the first golf clubs the company had released in five years, and Gotterup’s win is the first win for Bridgestone irons in even longer, going back to Matt Kuchar’s last victory at the 2019 Sony Open.
Gotterup’s victory also marks two incredible runs by TaylorMade products. The win is the 24th for the TaylorMade Spider family of putters since the start of 2024, and the 17th of the season for the TaylorMade fairway woods family.
The Spider stat is absolutely insane, and while 15 of those victories have come from Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the number of non-contracted Spider wins continues to grow, showing the popularity of the putter.
And if you needed any more evidence of how cool his setup is, this week he chose to game a 10-year-old TaylorMade RSi TP UDI 1-iron! Yes, a 1-iron, which is having a bit of a renaissance (pun very much intended) on the PGA Tour thanks to modern technology advancements in weighting of utility irons.

Irons: Bridgestone 220 MB (4-9)
Shafts: KBS CTaper 130 X
Wedges: TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 (46-SB, 52-SB), MG Proto (56-SB, 60-LB)
Shafts: Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 Black Onyx
TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 Custom Wedge
Milled Grind 4 utilizes laser etched Spin Tread and a raw face to provide better bite around the greens and superior spin in wet conditions. Refined shaping creates a smooth aesthetic that inspires creativity around the greens, while improved mass distribution provides a solid feel.
IMPROVED SPIN IN WET CONDITIONS
Spin Tread technology utilizes laser etching to channel away moisture and help retain spin in wet conditions. The same way that tire treads help your car stay connected to the road, Spin Tread redirects water at impact and creates more friction between the club face and golf ball to impart more spin than prior generations.
REFINED SHAPING
MG4 features refinements in shape and visual appeal with a focus on what players perceive at address. Details from the hosel blend, offset and leading-edge straightness were all inspired by the insights and preferences of the best players and most experienced designers. Compared to the previous MG3, MG4 showcases a slightly larger footprint that provides players with a sense of roundness, smoothness and improved ease of use.
RAW FACE & NEW FINISH
There’s a reason raw wedges are preferred by the game’s best players. The unplated material will rust over time to preserve consistent spin while also delivering better performance in wet conditions. A new refined finish with a slightly darker tint minimizes glare and blends seamlessly with the raw face for a unified appearance.
