Nick Taylor is no stranger to winning PGA Tour tournaments in a playoff, as 2 of his 4 career wins coming into the week required extra holes. But this week's playoff victory at The Sony Open might be the craziest one. Taylor had to chip-in for eagle just to make the eventual playoff as the leaders stumbled down the stretch. Then once in the playoff, he had to go birdie-birdie to secure his 5th career win.

Taylor’s winning bag is filled with Titleist clubs, though TaylorMade makes a couple appearances, including Taylor’s most valuable clubs perhaps.

Starting off Taylor’s bag is a previous generation driver, with Taylor gaming a Titleist TSi3 with a Fujikura Atmos Blue Tour Spec 6X shaft, and playing it at 10 degrees. The TSi3 provides more versatility with its adjustable weighting system but still in a 460cc head. Taylor was just solid off the tee. He ranked 46th in average driving distance and 28th in driving accuracy. Both number are ok, but they aren't what won him the golf tournament. Overall, Taylor gained 0.868 strokes on the field off the tee, which ranked 30th among all players.

Fairway Woods: TaylorMade Qi10 (3-Wood), TaylorMade SIM2 Max (5-Wood)

For his fairway woods, Taylor actually replaced his old Titleist 3-wood he used in last year's win at the Waste Management for a TaylorMade Qi10. He pairs that with a TaylorMade Sim2 Max 5-Wood. Both options provide him a high-launching, forgiving model to fill out the long game portion of his bag.

Hybrid: Titleist TSR2 (21 Degrees)

Taylor not only plays two fairway woods, but also plays a hybrid in his bag, opting for a Titleist TSR2. Like his fairway woods though, Taylor chooses a higher launching, more forgiving option for his hybrid with the TSR2. Taylor maintains consistent gapping with his fairway woods and hybrid going from a 15-degree 3-wood to an 18-degree 5-wood and then finishing off the long game portion of his bag with a 21-degree hybrid.

Irons: Titleist T100 (4-9 Irons)

Moving into the irons where Taylor rocks a combination of Titleist Irons. He uses a T200 for his 4 iron, and then for his 5-9 irons, he uses the T100’s. That T200 is a players distance iron, whereas the T100 are a players iron. That higher launching, more forgiving 4-iron continues the same theme as his woods and hybrid, while the rest of his irons give him a more precise option. His iron play was one of the stalwarts that led to his victory. He finished 9th in Strokes Gained Approach to Green, and tied for 2nd in total greens in regulation, finding 61 of 74 greens on his way to victory.

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (46 + 54 Degree), Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks (58 Degree)

While Taylor's Irons were excellent, he got some solid performances from his wedge game, including the shot of the tournament, his chip-in for eagle on the 72nd hole, which would get him into the playoff.  Gaming the Vokey SM10's with a Vokey WedgeWorks 58 degree, Taylor's wedge played their part in his approach performance. Around the green, they were solid as well. He converted 8 of his 13 scramble opportunities including 6 of his possible 10 sand save tries. Overall, he gained 1.511 strokes on the field around the green, which was 17th best among all players. 

Taylor uses a TaylorMade Spider Tour Red for his putter, and while his trusty flatstick wasn't the catalyst of his victory, it did enough to keep him in the hunt, and eventually come away with the victory. Taylor made 83 feet of putts, which was 24th best and his 1.66 putts per GIR ranked 8th among all players. When you're hitting as many greens in regulation as he did, that's going to create a lot of scoring opportunities, which he took advantage of. Overall, he ranked 23rd in Strokes Gained Putting, gaining 2.469 strokes on the field from the putting surface.
