Sami Valimaki What's In The Bag?
Finn Sami Valimaki, in just his sixth start on the European Tour, won the 2020 Oman Open beating Brandon Stone in a playoff.
What clubs does he use each week on Tour as a professional? In this piece we have taken a look.
Valimaki is a TaylorMade staff player and uses a full bag of equipment made by the brand, including a TP5x ball.
At the top of the bag he has a TaylorMade SIM driver with nine degrees of loft.
He also uses a SIM three-wood and occasionally puts the TaylorMade SIM Max Rescue in the bag. This comes in and out of the bag as does his TaylorMade P790 UDI two-iron.

His main iron set goes from four-iron down to pitching wedge and they are a set of TaylorMade P7MC's.
Two different models of TaylorMade wedge have found their way into his bag too. His 50 and 54 degree clubs are Milled Grind 2's whereas the 58 degree is a Hi-Toe.
Finally he putts with a TaylorMade Spider X Copper putter and games a TP5x ball.
