Is 2025 going to be Dustin Johnson‘s year in LIV Golf? The 40-year-old was the best golfer in the first season of the Saudi-based league. Johnson dominated the course and elevated his team to the no. 1 spot for two years in a row. With him leading the team, the 4Aces GC were the highest ranked team in 2022 and 2023. But the veteran golfer couldn’t continue his sublime form once the league started getting more intense.
With the arrival of more star players, the focus has shifted away from Johnson and so has his form. He only managed one win in the entire 2024 season and finished 14th on the leaderboard at the end of the season. But he seems to be turning things around at the 2025 LIV Golf Singapore. After the first round of play, Johnson has managed an 8-under par 63 to top the leaderboard. With that, everyone is asking what he has changed in his strokeplay to perform so well? We might get some hint looking at his golf kit for the tournament. So let’s see what clubs Dustin Johnson is carrying in Singapore.
TaylorMade is what makes Dustin Johnson a great golfer
Yes, Dustin Johnson is a TaylorMade man! He has been using the clubs from the reputed brand for some time now. TaylorMade has helped him achieve success and also been his choice of brand during his failures.
According to Today’s Golfer, Johnson uses the TaylorMade Qi10 LS Driver off the tee. Being a fast swinging player, the Qi10 LS is the optimum driver for someone like Johnson. It offers low spin and launch, ensuring that the ball easily pierces through the wind to reach the target. The TaylorMade Qi10 LS Driver is available for $399.99 on the official website.
For a shorter distance holes or off the fairway, he uses the TaylorMade Qi10 Fairway Wood. The 3-wood is extremely forgiving and provides a lot of distance on every stroke. It is ideal for Johnson, who relies more on his fast swing than thinking about hitting the center of the frame. The fairway wood is worth $349.99, but can be purchased at a discounted price of $269.99 right now.
When Johnson needs an iron, he gets the reliable TaylorMade DJ Proto Irons from his caddie. The clubs are known for their excellent precision and amazing feel, giving the LIV Golf pro a lot of control over his strokes. Each of these irons costs $1,399.99 on online stores.

Closing in on the cup
Dustin Johnson is known for hitting extremely accurate strokes. His drives often reach the fairway and the green in regulation. However, on the rare occasions Johnson does get stuck in the bunker or rough, he uses the TaylorMade Milled Grind Wedges to escape them. The 4Aces captain has the TaylorMade MG1 (52°) and MG4 (60°-LB) in his bag to offer him variety. The precisely designed soles and excellent frame of the wedges make it easier for Johnson to hit a variety of strokes while still maintaining control. Each wedge is worth $119.99 on the TaylorMade website.
The LIV Golf pro completes the hole with TaylorMade Spider Tour V Putter. The incredible weight distribution and high forgiveness of the putter makes it convenient for any golfer to hit accurate strokes on the green. And unlike most putters, the TaylorMade Spider Tour V is modestly priced at $349.99.
Other than the clubs, Dustin Johnson also has a set of the TaylorMade TP5x 2019 golf ball in his bag. He uses the Golf Pride Tour Velvet 58R grips and the TaylorMade TP gloves. Lastly, Johnson’s choice of sporting apparel comes from adidas Golf.
