Sahith Theegala calls his own bag ‘weird'. Here's why it works for him | Bag Spy

Sahith Theegala calls his own bag "weird" but it works for him in unique ways. Jack Hirsh/GOLF Welcome to Bag Spy , a GOLF series devoted to understanding the crucial equipment choices that define a player’s bag. With the help of players and/or their expert fitters, we dig deep beyond the photos to examine setups, specs and the thinking behind them.

In this installment, GOLF Associate Equipment Editor Jack Hirsh takes you inside Sahith Theegala’s bag and equipment setup for 2026 . *** Sahith Theegala is one of the true artists on the PGA Tour and his golf bag allows him to be as creative as he wants. Now in his fifth season on Tour, Theegala has bounced back from a down 2025 campaign with four top 10s already this season and has played his way back into the Tour’s Signature Events.

He’s done so largely with lots of shot shaping, creativity and deft short game touch. From last year, his bag is relatively unchanged, aside from a few tweaks at the top end which give him a unique progression after his driver. What’s clear about the man currently using two different 8-irons is he’s not afraid to try anything.

“A lot of players get locked into a certain way of doing things,” said Ping Tour Rep Kenton Oates, his fitter. “He’s always willing to explore, always willing to test something new if he thinks it might give him a different shot. ” He’ll get ideas “out of nowhere” to try things, Oates says, like asking for a 5-hybrid after watching Oates use one, or an “11-iron” because he wants to see something different on his pitching wedge.
