Ryan Fox overcame an early triple bogey to fire a stunning final-round 67, storming past Hatton, Rahm, and Hovland to win the 2023 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth by one stroke. This moment capped off an incredible 2022 season for the Kiwi golfer with two victories, including an emotional win at the Alfred Dunhill Links, where he paid tribute to his late friend, cricket legend Shane Warne. For the event, Fox bagged the title with a Srixon ZX5 driver.
Finishing fifth in the 2022 Race to Dubai Rankings, Fox had earned dual membership with the PGA TOUR using the same driver. As its staff player, Fox’s bag is filled with 12 Srixon clubs so let’s see what he carries with him on the fields.
Drivers, irons, and woods in Ryan Fox’s bag
Fox trusts these clubs to help him perform at his best. His driver of choice is the Srixon ZX5 MKII, which he uses with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 TX shaft. This driver is priced at $499 and has impressed testers with its high launch and draw bias, making it a great option for golfers looking for a little extra help getting the ball in the air. Fox also carries a Srixon ZX MKII fairway wood, which costs $279-$299 and has been a top performer in tests, offering impressive distance and accuracy.
In addition to his driver and fairway wood, Fox’s bag includes a Srixon Z U85 utility iron, priced at $199-$249. This utility iron is one of the most popular driving irons on tour and comes in five different lofts, making it a versatile option for plugging gaps in a player’s bag. Fox also uses Srixon ZX5 MKII irons (3-5) and Srixon ZX7 MKII irons (6-PW), which cost $899-$1,199 for a set of seven irons. These irons have impressed testers with their sleek design, impressive feel, and consistent performance.
But is that all he carries with him on the fields? That would be a big no!
What does Ryan Fox use for his wedges and putter?
Ryan Fox‘s wedges of choice are the Cleveland RTX-6 ZipCore Wedges, which are priced at $139-$169. He uses three of them: 50°-10 Mid, 56°-10 Mid, and 60°-06 Low, all with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 and S400 shafts. These wedges are known for their compact size, straight leading-edge profile, and aggressive CNC Milling pattern, which provides excellent stopping power. They also feature a unique ZipCore design, which helps to increase spin and control. With these wedges, Fox can confidently tackle any shot from 100 yards and in.
Fox also relies on the Ping Anser 2D putter, at $250-$279. This putter features a traditional blade design with a plumber neck and a slight toe hang, making it suitable for golfers with slight arc strokes. The Anser 2D also boasts a tungsten face weight, which adds forgiveness and stability to the putter. With its sleek design and impressive performance, it’s no wonder Fox trusts the Ping Anser 2D to help him sink crucial putts on the course.
Ryan Fox’s powerful WITB fuels his aggressive game, but adapting to PGA TOUR competition and tougher courses has kept him winless since 2023.
