The 2023 men’s major championship season had some big-name winners as well as a few surprises along the way, but no matter the event, one of the stats that helped lead these players to victory was their ball-striking and short game.

So whether it was Jon Rahm at the Masters or Brian Harman at the Open Championship, these are the irons and wedges used by the four men’s major champions of 2023.

Jon Rahm – Masters

Thanks in part to an almost flawless three-under 69 in the final round, Rahm won the Masters and his second major title. As a notorious non-tinkerer, Rahm used a set of Callaway TCB (Tour Cavity Back) irons along with Jaws forged wedges.

Brooks Koepka – PGA Championship

Although there was a time when even Koepka was doubtful of his ability to win again at the highest level, he put that doubt to pasture by winning the PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

Cleveland RTX6 ZipCore Wedges

New RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges are designed to unlock maximum spin performance across the golf course, regardless of lie. Yep, that includes the fairway, rough, sand and even in wet conditions..

A big part of Koepka’s success was due to his ability to navigate tough rough, hit greens in windy conditions and get up and down when he really needed to. He accomplished this with a set of Srixon ZX7 MKII irons and Cleveland RTX wedges.

Much was made of Koepka’s switch to Srixon after years of being an equipment free agent, especially considering the deal involved switching to the Srixon golf ball. But it’s been smooth sailing since the switch, as Koepka added to his major resume by notching his fifth.

Wyndham Clark – U.S. Open

Wyndham Clark shocked the golf world at LACC and won the 2023 U.S. Open over Rory McIlory and Rickie Fowler to secure his first major championship.

The bomber from Denver not only overpowered Los Angeles Country Club, but he also dissected it with accurate iron and wedge play. His irons and wedges of choice are from Titleist and include the classic forged cavity-back design 620CBs.

Brian Harman – Open Championship

Brian Harman and Clark have a lot more in common than simply bagging majors in 2023.

Like Clark, Harman used a set of Titleist 620CB irons along with his older Titleist U500 utility irons to navigate the windy and rainy links at Royal Liverpool. He won the Open Championship by a resounding six shots over Sepp Straka, Jason Day, Tom Kim and Rahm.

Another key piece of gear for Harman were his Titleist Vokey wedges, which helped him escape the thick rough and deep bunkers. And, considering the six-shot victory, he escaped both quite efficiently.
