Tom Kim did not just play well at the Presidents Cup. He dominated the field and then flew straight to Japan for the Asian Games. This non-stop schedule shows a player who understands the stakes. The International team needed a spark, and Kim provided it with a 3&2 win over Wyndham Clark. Now that the dust has settled, his equipment list tells a clear story about his future. He is not looking for a fix. He is looking for precision.
The Driver Setup Shows Total Trust
Kim chose the Titleist GTS3 driver set at 9 degrees. This is not a random pick. He paired it with a Fujikura Atmos Tour Spec Black 6 X shaft. The club list from GolfWRX shows he also carries a matching 3-wood and 5-wood in the same GTS3 line. That level of consistency across the bag is rare. Most players mix and match to chase distance. Kim is chasing control. The 18-degree 5-wood uses a Ventus TR Blue Velocore+ 8 X shaft. He wants the ball to stay low and run. This setup fits a player who hits the ball hard but needs to keep it in play.
Irons And Wedges Define His Scoring
The iron selection is where Kim’s game gets serious. He carries Titleist T100 irons from 4 through 9. These are blades designed for elite ball strikers. He does not need game improvement help. The shafts are Project X 6.0, which are stiff and stable. His wedges show even more detail. He uses standard Vokey SM10s for the 46, 50, and 54 degrees. But the 58-degree wedge is a custom Vokey WedgeWorks model at 58-A with a 59-degree face. That specific grind is for a player who manipulates the face. He also uses True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts on his higher lofted wedges. This heavy steel helps him stop the ball on tough greens.
A Putter That Matches His Aggression
Kim putts with a Scotty Cameron TourType GSS Prototype. This is not a stock model you can buy at the pro shop. It is a custom piece made for his stroke. The grip is a Golf Pride MCC Align. That alignment aid helps him start the ball on his intended line. He plays a Titleist Pro V1x ball. This ball offers the spin he needs around the green. The gear he uses in September 2026 is built for a player who is confident. He proved he can win under pressure at the Presidents Cup. Now he has the tools to keep winning. The Asian Games offer a gold medal and a military exemption.
