Thomas Detry WITB: 2025 WM Phoenix Open (Winning Setup)

The 2025 WM Phoenix Open demands a particular mix of nerve, precision and commitment. Played amid the intensity of the Stadium Course, it rewards players who can flight the ball through desert air, control spin into firm greens, and putt confidently under pressure. Thomas Detry did exactly that — and his winning bag tells a clear story of control-first choices paired with speed.

Below is a look at Detry’s winning setup and why each club fit the challenge so well.

Detry put his trust in the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond, a head designed for players who want lower spin, tighter dispersion and a penetrating flight. At 9 degrees, it delivered the flat, controlled launch needed to hold fairways and set up scoring opportunities without ballooning in the desert conditions.

The Triple Diamond profile suits Detry’s assertive but repeatable swing: enough forgiveness to stay playable on slight misses, yet precise enough to shape shots when angles matter.

3-Wood: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke TD (16.5°)

Carrying the matching Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood at 16.5 degrees gave Detry a versatile option off the tee and into longer approaches. The slightly stronger loft offers a blend of carry and control — ideal for positional tee shots where driver isn’t required, and for attacking par 5s with a confident, lower-spin flight.

Hybrid: Callaway Epic (18°)

The Callaway Epic hybrid filled the gap between fairway wood and long iron, providing reliable launch and consistency from varied lies. On a course that asks players to hit long approaches into elevated targets, the hybrid’s blend of height and stability proved invaluable — particularly when precision outweighed aggression

Irons: Callaway Apex Pro (4) & Apex MB (5–PW)

Detry’s iron setup is a classic blended configuration built for elite control.

4-Iron – Apex Pro: A touch more forgiveness and launch for longer approaches, helping maintain carry and consistency from distance.

5–PW – Apex MB: Pure muscle-back blades for maximum feedback, trajectory control and precise distance gapping.

This combination allowed Detry to flight the ball down into firm greens, manage spin in scoring ranges, and trust his distances when the pressure was on.

Wedges: Callaway Opus (50°, 54°, 58°)

Around the greens, Detry relied on Callaway Opus wedges in a clean, straightforward setup. These wedges are designed for spin consistency and versatility, supporting everything from full approach shots to delicate touch around tightly mown surrounds.

At a venue where up-and-downs are often the difference between contending and chasing, the simplicity and reliability of this wedge trio paid dividends.

Putter: Odyssey O-Works #7 Black

On fast, sloping greens — and in front of one of the most vocal crowds in golf — Detry turned to the Odyssey O-Works #7 Black. The high-MOI mallet design provides stability through impact, while the Microhinge insert promotes consistent roll and speed control.

The #7’s alignment features also helped Detry set up confidently over the ball, an important factor when putting under sustained pressure.

Why This Bag Worked at the WM Phoenix Open

Detry’s setup was built to handle intensity without distraction:

Low-spin, stable woods for controlled tee shots

A hybrid for dependable long-range approaches

A blended iron set offering forgiveness where needed and precision where demanded

Versatile wedges for firm greens and tight surrounds

A stable, alignment-friendly putter for pressure moments

It was a bag designed to remove doubt — and that clarity showed throughout the week.

Final Thoughts

Thomas Detry’s win at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open was defined by composure as much as ball-striking. His WITB reflects a player comfortable blending modern technology with traditional control, choosing tools that support confident decision-making rather than chasing extremes.

In one of golf’s most demanding atmospheres, that balance proved decisive — and the result was a deserved victory built on trust, precision and execution.
