Rory McIlroy WITB: 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Winning Setup)

When Rory McIlroy lifted the trophy at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2025, it wasn’t just another win on a famous coastline. It was a performance built on control, patience and a setup that blended modern power with trusted feel — a bag carefully tuned for one of golf’s most demanding, exposed venues.

Pebble Beach rarely rewards brute force alone. Coastal winds, small greens and awkward angles demand precision from tee to green, and McIlroy’s club choices reflected exactly that. Below is a closer look at the winning setup — and why each club made sense for the task.

McIlroy’s driver choice continues to underline his shift toward stability without sacrificing speed. The TaylorMade Qi10 provides a slightly more forgiving profile than some of his previous gamer drivers, offering tighter dispersion while still delivering the explosive ball speed Rory relies on.

At Pebble Beach, where fairway positioning matters more than raw distance, the Qi10 allowed McIlroy to stay aggressive without feeling exposed. The flight was controlled, penetrating and predictable — exactly what’s required when the Pacific breeze starts influencing shot shape.

Carrying both a 15-degree and 18-degree Qi10 fairway wood gave McIlroy exceptional flexibility off the tee and into longer approaches. Pebble Beach often asks players to shape tee shots rather than simply hit the driver, and these fairway woods gave Rory reliable alternatives when placement trumped distance.

The slightly higher-launching characteristics of the Qi10 fairways also helped when attacking longer par 4s and par 5s, allowing McIlroy to land the ball softly on firm, sloping greens.

Irons: TaylorMade P760 (4) & RORS.PROTO (5–9)

4 Iron – TaylorMade P760
The P760 offers a touch more forgiveness and launch, ideal for longer approach shots where consistency is critical. It’s a sensible choice for a course like Pebble Beach, where long irons are often played into elevated or angled greens.

5–9 Irons – TaylorMade Rorys Proto
From the 5-iron down, McIlroy switches to his prototype blades — clubs built around precision, trajectory control and feedback. These irons allow him to flight the ball down, shape shots into tucked pins, and control spin on Pebble’s famously small putting surfaces.

Wedges: TaylorMade MG4

McIlroy’s wedge setup was particularly important on a course where scrambling is inevitable.

46° – 09SB
50° – 09SB
54° – 11SB
60° – 08LB

The MG4 wedges are designed for spin consistency and versatility, especially from tight lies and coastal turf. Pebble Beach’s greenside areas often force players to play creative shots — low spinners, soft pitches, and delicate bunker escapes — and this wedge configuration gave McIlroy every option.

Putter: TaylorMade Spider Tour X

On Pebble Beach’s undulating greens, putting can make or break a week. McIlroy relied on the TaylorMade Spider Tour X, a putter known for its high stability and consistent roll.

The Spider Tour X helped neutralise off-centre strikes and provided reliable speed control — a vital asset on greens that can change dramatically depending on weather and time of day. Rory’s putting throughout the week was composed and decisive, underlining why this model has become a long-term favourite in his bag.

Why This Bag Worked at Pebble Beach

What stood out about McIlroy’s winning setup wasn’t experimentation — it was confidence in familiar tools refined for a specific challenge.

Forgiving but fast woods for tight tee shots

A blended iron set for launch and control

A versatile wedge setup for creativity around the greens

A stable, trusted putter for pressure moments

It was a bag built for thinking golf, not just power golf — and Pebble Beach rewarded that approach.
