What clubs does Marco Penge use?

Penge, who splits his schedule between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, signed with PXG at the start of the season. His irons moved from the PXG 0317 ST to the more forgiving PXG Gen8 from 4-iron to pitching wedge, and his mini driver switched from a PXG Secret Weapon back to a TaylorMade BRNR. His putter has been the least settled club in the bag: he won three times on the DP World Tour in 2025 using three different putters and is currently gaming a Scotty Cameron Phantom 11A OC Tour Prototype.

Why did Penge switch golf balls?

Penge's clearest change is his ball, moving through the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot, the standard Pro V1 and the Pro V1x Double Dot before landing on a Tour-only prototype built for high swing speeds. Cameron Young was the first to put the ball in play, winning last year's Wyndham Championship with it, and Bryson DeChambeau and Gary Woodland have since used it in competition.
