Patrick Rodgers Trusts His Gear at 2025 Genesis Invitational

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Patrick Rodgers, a former Stanford University star, has emerged as a contender at the 2025 Genesis Invitational, currently situated in a tie for fifth place. This marks his 284th event on the PGA Tour, where he is looking to secure his first tour victory after years of near-misses.

Rodgers turned professional in 2014 and held the top spot in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 16 consecutive weeks. Now at 32, he seeks to leverage his skills and trusted equipment as he competes against notable names such as Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.

In his bag, the cornerstone of Rodgers’ setup is the Titleist TSR3 driver, valued at $321. The driver features a 9-degree loft that optimizes launch conditions, enabling him to achieve significant distance off the tee. Complementing the driver is a Fujikura Ventus TR Black 7 X shaft, which contributes to his swing stability and control.

His fairway wood, also from Titleist, is the TSR3 with a 3W designation, priced at $229.99. This club has a 15-degree loft and is paired with a Fujikura Ventus TR Black 8 X shaft, ensuring accuracy and optimal launch angles during play.

Rodgers also makes use of the Titleist TSi3 Hybrid, a versatile 3H club with an adjustable loft ranging from 18 degrees to 17.25 degrees. This hybrid, costing around $428.21, further enhances his distance capabilities.

For his iron play, Rodgers relies on the Titleist T100S Irons, including a 4-iron priced at $2,300, which utilizes a Project X 125 6.5 shaft for exceptional stability. The T100 series includes 5-iron through 7-iron clubs, totaling $779, and maintains the same shaft for consistent performance. The T100S Irons are highlighted by Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord grips that offer excellent traction.

Rodgers’ bag also holds the Titleist 620 MB Irons, covering the 8-iron to pitching wedge, costing approximately $1,400 and featuring similar Project X 125 6.5 shafts and grips.

The wedges in Rodgers’ arsenal include Titleist Vokey Design SM9 options that enhance his short game. Each is valued at $269, with lofts of 50, 56, and 60 degrees, adding variety to his shots. These wedges incorporate True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts, offering quality feedback and performance.

Concluding his setup is the Toulon Design San Diego Putter, which costs $449, and the Titleist Pro V1x Ball priced at $49, combining advanced technology for optimal performance.

As the Genesis Invitational continues, Rodgers’ reliance on high-quality equipment might just be the key to breaking his streak of near victories. With the competition heating up, spectators are left wondering if this will finally be his year.
