March 27, 2017 – Coming into the week with wins in consecutive starts, world Nº1 Dustin Johnson showed no signs of letting up, completing his week with a perfect 7-0 record and capturing the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship for his 5th career WGC title. Fellow TaylorMade Golf stablemate Jon Rahm, who also finished 2nd to Johnson at the WGC-Mexico Championship, once again finished runner-up, continuing his rapid ascent up the Official World Golf Rankings.

Dustin Johnson‘s driver setup hasn’t changed since he first put it into play during his win at the Genesis Open at Riviera. He plays the ’17 M1 460 driver with the Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 X Tour Spec 2.0, the same he used last year. His actual loft is 11º, which along with his weight settings, allows him to hit his preferred shot shape: the high fade.

An interesting note regarding Dustin Johnson‘s bag lies in his ’17 M1 fairway. It’s cut to a 5 wood length (1″ shorter than standard) and set to 17º of loft. Dustin carries it 280 yards, which is the exact number he’s looking for in his 3 fairway. As you can see at the picture, his weight is set toward toe much like on his M1 driver.

Dustin Johnson‘s wedge setup often changes week to week depending on the conditions. So far this year, he’s gotten comfortable with his TP MB PW along with a 52º & 60º combination in the Milled Grind wedges, which he added to the bag as soon as the Tour truck had them available. He once again played these two lofts throughout the tournament.

Similar to World #3 Jason Day, Dustin Johnson plays the Spider Tour Black putter, which he first put into his bag at last year’s BMW Championship (he won). Dustin Johnson prefers its firmer insert to Jason’s Spider Tour red model. Also notable with the win, Spider becomes the most winning putter model on tour in the last 9 months, starting with Day’s win at THE PLAYERS last year; a truly remarkable feat for the category.

For the company, this was the seventh consecutive week that Spider was the No1 putter model on PGA TOUR. TaylorMade once again won the driver count at the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship with 22 of 64 drivers in play. This was the fifth win this season for the new TP5/TP5x ball, with Johnson having 3 of them. Rahm and Garcia have also won this year with the new ball (Rahm: TP5x, Garcia TP5). Johnson’s win is the 11th win in 14 weeks for TaylorMade’s ’17 M drivers, more than any other manufacturer.
