Quick Answer: The latest verified Zach Bauchou WITB uses a Ping G425 LST driver, Wilson DYNAPWR Carbon 4-wood and 7-wood, a mixed Wilson iron setup, Wilson and Vokey wedges, a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 prototype putter, and a Bridgestone Tour B X ball. I found no newer complete bag record through October 10, 2026.
Zach Bauchou’s bag is more interesting than a simple list of model names. The August 2026 equipment record shows an older Ping driver beside current Wilson woods and irons, plus a mixed iron build that changes head type in the scoring clubs.
There is one important catch. The published inventory adds up to 15 clubs if you count both listed 4-irons, so it cannot represent one legal tournament setup exactly as written. That makes the long-iron choice the detail worth watching instead of blindly copying the list.

Last verified complete bag: August 11, 2026. Checked October 10, 2026.
That is the latest complete setup I can verify as of October 10. I did not find a newer full-bag inventory from Bauchou’s October starts.
The August list contains a 15-club problem
Count every club in the published August inventory and you reach 15 if both 4-irons stay in the total. Golf allows a maximum of 14 clubs in competition, so one listed club has to come out.
The most logical swap sits between the Wilson Staff Model RB Utility 4-iron and the Staff Model CB 4-iron. Both cover a similar place in the set, but they solve different shots. A utility head gives Bauchou another option for tee balls and penetrating long shots, while the CB gives him a more conventional iron transition.
I would not publish either 4-iron as a permanent starter without a fresh bag photo or direct confirmation. The available equipment record does not identify which one he used in every event.
That distinction matters. A WITB should describe the clubs a player can put in play, then flag uncertain rotation slots instead of pretending every photographed club fits into one fixed 14-club bag.
Why the Ping G425 LST driver still makes sense
Bauchou pairs a 9-degree Ping G425 LST with a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6 X. The G425 LST is several product cycles old in 2026, yet age alone gives him no reason to replace a driver that still fits his delivery.
The 445cc LST head targets lower spin than Ping’s standard G425 Max profile. Pairing it with an X-flex Ventus TR Blue points toward a player who values stability and a controlled launch window.
His recent golf gives that choice some context. At the Bank of Utah Championship on October 1, Bauchou said his irons had improved after he found a feel that produced straighter shots, and he also described the value of hitting the demanding tee shots well. He shot a career-low 62 that day.
My take is simple. Keeping an older driver while changing other parts of the bag is a good sign that Bauchou fits clubs by job, not release date.
The 4-wood and 7-wood cover two very different jobs
Bauchou uses two Wilson DYNAPWR Carbon fairway woods, but he does not build them as matching clubs. The 16.5-degree 4-wood carries a Mitsubishi Diamana RB 73 X, while the 21-degree 7-wood uses a heavier UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X 8F5.
That shaft split matters as much as the head names. The 4-wood needs enough speed to work from the tee and turf, while the 7-wood can prioritize control and launch into longer approach shots.
A 21-degree 7-wood also gives him a different flight option from the utility iron. That overlap explains why the 4-iron slot deserves a course-by-course check.
For an amateur, this is the part of the bag worth studying. Build the top end around distances and flight windows instead of forcing a driver, 3-wood, hybrid sequence just because it looks conventional.
The mixed Wilson iron setup is the biggest surprise
The verified list puts Wilson Staff Model CB heads in the 4 through 7 irons, then switches to Staff Model XB heads from 8-iron through pitching wedge. That is an unusual direction for a combo set because the XB is the more distance-and-forgiveness-oriented hollow-body design.
Wilson’s stock specifications make the transition even more interesting. The Staff Model CB 7-iron sits at 34 degrees, while the Staff Model XB 8-iron sits at 36 degrees.
A two-degree stock loft gap does not tell us Bauchou’s actual carry gap. Tour builds can use adjusted lofts, and I do not have his measured playing lofts. Still, the stock numbers tell a fitter exactly where to check first before copying this combo.
The head change also says something about priorities. Bauchou appears willing to use a faster, more forgiving construction in clubs that many elite players keep compact. I like that choice because scorecard performance matters more than building a set that looks traditional from 4-iron to pitching wedge.

His wedge lofts favor shot windows over equal spacing
Bauchou moves from a Wilson Staff Model ZM 50-08 to a 56-10, then carries a Titleist Vokey Design SM11 60-08M bent to 59 degrees. All three use Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts.
The loft gaps are 6 degrees from 50 to 56, then 3 degrees from 56 to 59. That is not the tidy four-degree progression golfers often use when they build wedges from a fitting chart.
There is nothing wrong with uneven loft spacing if the carry numbers and partial-shot windows work. The 59-degree Vokey also gives Bauchou a different sole and grind option at the top of the wedge setup.
The detail I would copy is the process, not the lofts. Test full and partial distances, bunker shots, open-face shots and the turf you normally play before deciding that 50, 56 and 59 belongs in your bag.
Putter, ball and grips
Bauchou’s latest verified putter is a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Prototype. Public equipment records do not give enough detail to state the exact neck, insert, weight or build, so I would stop at the confirmed model family rather than fill those gaps with guesses.
He plays a Bridgestone Tour B X ball and Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord grips. Both choices fit a setup that leans toward firm feedback and control.

What golfers should copy from Bauchou’s bag
The best lesson from this setup is role-based club selection. Bauchou mixes brands, keeps an older driver, changes construction inside the iron set and appears to rotate at least one long-iron option.
This setup isn’t for everyone. A 9-degree low-spin driver, X and TX shafts, and tour-weight wedge shafts demand enough speed and centered contact to make their traits useful.
Most golfers should copy the decision process instead. Keep a club that still performs, check the real distance gaps at the top and bottom of the set, and use the head construction that produces the shot you need.
Bauchou’s mixed iron set is especially useful evidence against buying irons only as a matched 4-PW box. If your 7-iron to 8-iron transition or long-iron flight creates a problem, a combo set can solve it.
How current is this Zach Bauchou WITB?
I checked for a newer full Zach Bauchou WITB through October 10, 2026 and did not find one. The latest complete, date-stamped bag record I can verify comes from August 11, 2026.
Bauchou is playing the Baycurrent Classic this week and shares the 54-hole lead entering the final round, so his equipment is very much in current competition. That does not prove every club from the August list remains unchanged today.
For that reason, this page treats the August setup as the latest verified full bag rather than claiming a fresh October bag photo exists when it does not. If a newer photographed setup appears, the first item I would recheck is the RB Utility versus Staff Model CB 4-iron slot.
This Zach Bauchou WITB 2026 page will stay accurate only if we separate verified equipment from assumptions. You can also compare his current setup with fellow Baycurrent contender Michael Brennan in our Michael Brennan WITB 2026 guide.
