Thorbjorn Olesen What’s In The Bag?
Take a look at the equipment used by Thorbjorn Olesen.
Thorbjorn Olesen What's In The Bag?
Thorbjorn Olesen had a brilliant 2018 winning at the Italian Open, and he also worked his way into the world's top-50 and also made his Ryder Cup debut where he beat Jordan Spieth comfortably to give Europe a much needed point on Sunday. Since then his career has dipped because of off-course events but got back into the DP World Tour winner's circle in 2022 at the Betfred British Masters, and 2023 Thailand Classic. Let's take a look at the clubs he currently uses.
Thorbjorn Olesen What's In The Bag?
Driver
TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus
Olesen had been a Nike staff player but the brand stopped making clubs in 2016. As such he was one of the very few players out on Tour without an equipment contract and he often had several brands represented. However in 2022 he signed with TaylorMade and currently has a full bag setup from the brand.
He starts with the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus driver, which we think is an excellent all round model, ideal for anyone who wants a compact, but not intimidating, look at address and the ability to move weights to dial in a specific shot shape. We were impressed by the added forgiveness on offer from this Plus version when compared to the previous Stealth Plus model. His driver is fitted with a Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw White Prototype 65 TX shaft.

Fairways
TaylorMade Stealth, TaylorMade Stealth 2
Olesen then uses a TaylorMade Stealth fairway as his three-wood, and then the newer Stealth 2 model as his five-wood. They have 15 and 18 degrees of loft respectively, and the former is actually the HL (High Launch) model. The fairways are fitted with Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 80 TX and Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw White Prototype 85 TX shafts respectively.

Irons
TaylorMade P790, TaylorMade P7MC 2023
For a long time Olesen had a TaylorMade RSi UDI utility iron and PSi Tour irons in the bag but these have since been replaced by a P790 three-iron, and the latest set of P7MC's which go from four-iron down to pitching wedge. Compared to the previous generation, the head size looks a fraction smaller, as is the muscle cavity section behind the hitting area, while the raised lines no longer extend all the way across the back. Because it is a blade, there is somewhat a lack of forgiveness but, when struck out the middle, the feeling is simply sensational. All of his irons have Project X 6.5 shafts.

Wedges
TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3
Olesen used to put Callaway wedges in the bag but at the moment he has opted for some TaylorMade Hi Toe 3 wedges. This is the third generation of the Hi-Toe design and we found it performs brilliantly on the course. Aesthetically, this wedge looks incredible and this club excels when it comes to adding spin to the golf ball. His wedges have 56 and 60 degrees of loft.

Putter
TaylorMade TP Collection Juno
Olesen was using a Scotty Cameron Prototype for a long time in a Newport design however he has now switched into a TaylorMade TP Collection Juno putter which has a similar shape. He appears to have opted for this kind of putter shape for a while now and shows no inclination to change.
