The Clubs JJ Spaun Used to Win the U.S. Open, Valero Texas Open and BMW PGA Championship

Quick Answer: JJ Spaun won the 2026 BMW PGA Championship with a Titleist GT3 driver, TaylorMade Qi10 fairway woods, Srixon ZXi5 and ZXi7 irons, Cleveland RTX and RTZ wedges, a Srixon Z-Star Diamond ball and an L.A.B. Golf DF3 putter. A 7-wood replaced the 5-wood from his U.S. Open bag.

JJ Spaun swapped almost every club head between his first win in 2022 and his latest in September 2026. He kept nearly every shaft. That pattern is the most useful thing in his bag, and a standard winner’s-bag list won’t show it to you.

This guide covers the clubs JJ Spaun used to win the 2022 Valero Texas Open, the 2025 U.S. Open, the 2026 Valero Texas Open and the 2026 BMW PGA Championship. Current bag first, then each win in reverse order.

JJ Spaun’s bag at his latest win, club by club

Spaun carried 14 clubs at Wentworth on September 20, 2026. The last column shows what changed since his U.S. Open win at Oakmont in June 2025.

His ball is the Srixon Z-Star Diamond and his grips are Golf Pride Tour Velvet 58R. Spaun’s Srixon and Cleveland deal covers the irons, wedges and ball, and L.A.B. Golf made its partnership with him official on March 31, 2026. Titleist and TaylorMade fill out the top of the bag.

Did JJ Spaun win the 2026 BMW Championship?

No, Wyndham Clark won the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis on August 23, 2026, finishing three shots clear at 17 under. Spaun’s BMW trophy came four weeks later at the BMW PGA Championship, the DP World Tour’s flagship event at Wentworth in England. The two events share a sponsor, so the names blur. Spaun did play Bellerive, and that week he put the DF3 putter back in his bag.

Clubs JJ Spaun used to win the 2026 BMW PGA Championship

Spaun won at Wentworth by two shots at 17 under, closing with a 67 that included four birdies in his last five holes. It was his first start at the event. He arrived after U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker left him off the Presidents Cup team, and he said the snub motivated him all week.

On the par-5 18th he had 218 yards left with the wind behind him and played a stock 5-iron. He picked the front wheel of the BMW SUV parked behind the green as his start line. A 26° ZXi7 with an X100 shaft handled the shot, and he two-putted from 28 feet for birdie. Manuel Elvira then needed only a par to force a playoff and made double bogey.

Everything else matched his April setup at Valero.

The 2026 Valero Texas Open, where his irons did the work

Spaun won at TPC San Antonio on April 5, 2026, by one shot at 17 under after a storm-delayed weekend. His final-round 67 was the best score of the day. Two swings decided it. A 5-iron to four feet on the 198-yard par-3 16th set up birdie, then he drove the green on the 306-yard par-4 17th and made eagle.

Irons carried the week. Spaun gained about 6.7 shots on approach, second in the field. Once Robert MacIntyre missed a 30-foot birdie try on 18, the win belonged to a bag that matches today’s, DF3 putter and 7-wood included.

The 2025 U.S. Open bag at Oakmont

Spaun won at Oakmont on June 15, 2025, finishing one under as the only player to beat par all week. He bogeyed five of his first six holes on Sunday, shot 40 on the front nine and 32 on the back, and holed a 64-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole.

Two clubs stood out. His 9° GT3 driver put the ball on the 314-yard, uphill par-4 17th, 18 feet from the hole. His L.A.B. DF3 holed more than 130 feet of putts over the final seven holes. The rest of the bag matches today’s with one difference: he carried an 18° Qi10 5-wood with a Diamana PD 80TX shaft where he now carries the 21° 7-wood.

The 2022 Valero bag looks like another golfer’s

Spaun won his first PGA Tour title at TPC San Antonio on April 3, 2022, in his 147th start. He opened the final round with a double bogey, shot 69 and won by two shots at 13 under over Matt Kuchar and Matt Jones. Before Spaun, Tiger Woods at the 2008 U.S. Open was the last player to win after that kind of start.

His driver was a Ping G425 LST with a Ventus Black 6X shaft, and it ranked him 10th in the field in strokes gained off the tee. Fairway woods came from two brands, a TaylorMade SIM 3-wood and a Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero 5-wood. Srixon ZX7 irons ran from 4-iron to pitching wedge, and Cleveland RTX ZipCore wedges covered 50, 54 and 60 degrees. He putted with a well-worn Scotty Cameron prototype and didn’t miss a putt inside 10 feet over the final 36 holes.

Published lists for that week also show a Srixon Z-U65 2-iron, and that doesn’t add up. A 5-wood, a 2-iron, a seven-club iron set and three wedges make 15 clubs, so one of them sat out. Treat the long-club lineup as unconfirmed.

Four wins in one comparison table

Line up the four winning bags and a pattern shows up. Heads changed. Shafts stayed.

Count the constants. His driver shaft stayed in the Ventus Black family, his irons kept X100 shafts and his wedges kept S400s through every win, and only the fairway-wood shafts changed, from Tensei Orange and Diamana BF to Diamana PD. If you’re getting fit, lock down the shaft first and shop heads second. Spaun’s record backs that rule better than any fitting brochure.

Why his putter left the bag and came back in 2026

Spaun won the 2025 U.S. Open with the L.A.B. DF3 and won the 2026 Valero with it too. By late May he still ranked 155th on Tour in strokes gained putting, and he said he’d started resenting the putter on the course.

L.A.B. co-founder Sam Hahn gave a plain explanation. Spaun’s DF3 had a platinum finish that wore down in the Arizona sun until he couldn’t see the alignment aid. At the Charles Schwab Challenge in late May, Spaun tried a heel-shafted OZ.1i HS with zero shaft lean in place of the DF3’s two degrees. After two rounds he was eight under and gaining more than a shot on the field with it.

By summer he had moved on to a custom Scotty Cameron Phantom 9.5. At Bellerive in August he returned to the DF3, and he kept it for the win at Wentworth. Hahn said every L.A.B. putter shares one torque profile, so the swaps changed what Spaun saw at address and left the putter’s behavior alone.

His current DF3 measures 34 inches with 2° of loft, a 70° lie and 2° of shaft lean, and it carries an L.A.B. X TPT shaft with a Scotty Cameron grip. Check your own alignment line. If paint or finish has worn off the sightline, refinish the putter or replace it before you blame your stroke.

What his iron specs say about gapping

Two details stand out. The loft ladder climbs from 23° to 46° in steady four-degree steps, with one three-degree gap between the ZXi5 4-iron and the ZXi7 5-iron. His lie angles jump a full degree at the 6-to-7 and 7-to-8 steps and a half degree everywhere else, and his lengths step by half an inch except at the 6-to-7 and 9-to-PW steps, which get a quarter inch.

A 34° 7-iron is a traditional tour loft, several degrees weaker than many game-improvement sets, so his distance comes from swing speed and strike. At 21°, his 7-wood sits within two degrees of the 4-iron, so the wood’s job is launch and landing angle.

Below the pitching wedge, his wedges sit at 50°, 54° and 60°, which leaves four-degree gaps and then a six-degree jump to the 60. He pairs 10° of bounce and a Mid grind on the 50, 12° and a Full grind on the 54, and only 6° and a Low grind on the 60. That split gives the 54 room to glide through sand and soft turf and keeps the 60 sharp on tight lies. Copy it only if your home course matches.

Two 5-iron shots show his range. He used one on the 198-yard 16th at Valero and another from 218 yards to the hole, downwind, on Wentworth’s 18th. Those are tour-level reference points and a poor gapping chart for your own bag.

Should you copy JJ Spaun’s bag?

Not the whole thing. A full Spaun-spec bag isn’t for anyone swinging below tour speed. X100 iron shafts and S400 wedge shafts demand a fast, aggressive transition, and a 34° 7-iron will cost a mid-handicap player carry distance.

The GT3 deserves its own warning. Titleist built it for players who hit the same spot on the face and want to tune the weight track around that spot. If your strikes scatter from heel to toe, adjustability can’t fix the scatter, and you’ll get more from a more forgiving head.

Steal his process instead. Lock your shaft specs before you change heads, keep your wedge gaps even and check your putter’s sightline every season. Try a 7-wood if your 4-iron launches low.

Conclusion

The clubs JJ Spaun used to win four events between 2022 and 2026 look different on paper and share one habit. He changes heads often and leaves his shaft specs alone. His putter detour adds the other lesson, because a U.S. Open champion tried at least two other putters after his DF3’s alignment line wore down, then returned to it and won in England.
