Inside the bag of bomber Gordon Sargent

In the fall of 2022, Gordon Sargent walked comfortably up to the tee box on the first playoff hole of the NCAA Championships and hit a ball 380 yards. On the 520-yard par-5 18th hole he was left with just 140 yards into the green looking for a birdie to win. And with that, the world was introduced to Gordon Sargent, an unsuspecting powerhouse majoring in economics who’s 170 pounds soaking wet. 

The way he creates speed is a sight to behold, and watching him hit balls in person is something everyone should strive to witness. Even at a PGA Tour event, like the 3M Open I attended this year, the range notices when Sargent hits balls.

Sargent actually qualified for his PGA Tour card via the PGA Tour U Accelerated track in the fall of 2023 but opted to defer his status in favor of finishing out his senior year at Vanderbilt. Between his graduation and his debut on the PGA Tour he played in the Masters, was low amateur at the U.S. Open and went undefeated in the Walker Cup at the Old Course at St. Andrews. He made his debut on the PGA Tour at the RBC Canadian Open earlier this year and finished out his first professional season making 5 of 12 cuts. 

While we’re sure to hear and see more of Sargent this fall and in 2026, I got an up-close look at his clubs at the 3M Open. Let’s dive into the tools Sargent uses to turn his massive speed into effective play.

Talking with reps from Titleist and Mitsubishi, Sargent finalized his fit into 1k Pro Orange after having success with 1k Pro White but wanting to stabilize start lines and ball flight. The stiffer handle section of the 1k Pro Orange proved to be the ticket as the feel that Sargent prefers, while helping to bring his start line to the right vs. the more left start line of the 1k Pro White.

Mini Driver: Titleist GT280 13 @ B2 | Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana WB 83TX 

5 Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 Core 18 | Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 9X (which is tipped… a lot)

Driving Iron: Titleist T250 2i/3i | Shafts: (2) Mitsubishi MMT UT 105tx (3) Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 GOST X (3)

Which long game tool goes in the bag depends on the course setup for the week. With Gordon’s unique speed, he’s able to be selective on what fills the gap between his 4 iron and his GT280. At the 3M Open he was testing out options in the long game sector including new T250 2 and 3 irons.
