Tommy Fleetwood’s resurgence continued in dramatic fashion at the 2025 DP World India Championship, where he captured his eighth victory on the DP world tour with a composed Sunday performance. The Englishman has quietly pieced together one of the most consistent stretches of his career, combining his trademark ball-striking with renewed confidence on the greens.
He opened the week with a steady 68, followed by a 64. Fleetwood leaned on precision and patience over the weekend — closing with rounds of 69 and 65 to finish 22-under-par, securing a two-shot win over Keita Nakajima.
Let’s take a closer look at Tommy Fleetwood’s winning setup and explore some fitting insights that make it work for him.

Winner’s Bag | Tommy Fleetwood – 2025 DP World India Championship
Mini Driver: TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini (13.5°)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6-X
Actual Loft: 13* | FCT Sleeve: 1 click lower | Length: 43.5″
Fleetwood’s decision to game the TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini — a modern tribute to one of TaylorMade’s most iconic drivers — instead of a traditional driver raised plenty of eyebrows this week. It’s compact, controllable, and built for precision off the tee.
The Ventus TR Blue 6-X complements the head perfectly. It’s a mid-launch, low-spin profile that adds stability through transition — ideal for players with strong tempo and aggressive delivery. Fleetwood’s slightly shorter build (43.5″) provides extra control without sacrificing distance.
Fitting Insight: In the bay, players with Fleetwood’s consistent delivery often benefit from a shorter, heavier “mini-driver” setup. We frequently see mid-high handicap players gain fairway-finder confidence just by dropping to a 43–43.5″ length — a tweak that improves center-face contact and dispersion.
5-Wood: TaylorMade Qi35 (18°)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Kuro Kage 80TX
Actual Loft: 17.5° | Length: 42.25″
Fleetwood’s 5-wood is built for both launch and control. The Qi35 head’s compact profile pairs with a tipped-2″ Kuro Kage 80TX, producing a penetrating flight with tight spin control — exactly what he needs to attack par-5s.
Fitting Insight: When we fit stronger players, we may look at shortening fairway shafts and tip them slightly to stabilize the head through impact. It keeps spin consistent even when swing speed is high. For many amateurs, finding a shaft that matches your release pattern or adjusting loft by a degree or two can be the key to eliminating those unpredictable, high-spin “floaters” that stall out short of the target.
9-Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 (24°)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Kuro Kage 80TX
Actual Loft: 22.5° | Length: 41.5″
While many Tour pros opt for long irons or driving hybrids, Fleetwood relies on the added launch and softer landing angle a 9-wood provides. It fills a crucial yardage gap between his 5-wood and 4-iron while still allowing him to attack tucked pins that they face on the tour on a week to week basis.
Fitting Insight: We are seeing more and more players — even low single-digit handicaps — testing higher-lofted fairways like a 7-or 9-wood. The added height and spin provide versatility from rough or tight lies, particularly for those who struggle to launch long irons. In the bay, the main attraction to fitters is the added launch and land angle that a 9 metal can provide the amateur golfer. This can be the difference between holding the green and rolling off the green.
Irons: TaylorMade P7TW (4-PW)
Shafts: Project X Rifle 6.5
Lofts: Standard | Lie Angles: 2° flat | Length: +¼″
Fleetwood has long trusted TaylorMade’s P7TW irons — a model co-designed with Tiger Woods. Each head is longer in blade length with a thinner topline and minimal offset, traits that suit Fleetwood’s eye that gives him confidence and trust knowing that this club will.
Fitting Insight: For players like Fleetwood with a consistent and precise face control, blades or players’ cavity irons allow exact feedback. In fittings, though, we may find that mid-handicappers can achieve similar flight and spin consistency using modern players’ cavities such as the P7mc, it does not guarantee that ball flight will be consistent. The goal in our fitting is matching impact location consistency to face design — not just chasing a Tour-preferred head because of the looks.
Wedges: TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 (52-9 ATS), MG Proto (56-12 SB, 60-10 SB)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400
Lie Angles: 61.5°
Fleetwood’s wedge setup is all about feel and variety. The Hi-Toe 4 at 52° blends versatility for full shots with extra spin control around the greens, while the MG Protos handles the rest — with bounce and sole grinds to give him a full variety of shot options around the greens. He has a variety of bounce options that match the turf conditions at the Delhi golf club.
Fitting Insight: One thing we consistently stress in wedge fittings is matching bounce to turf interaction, not just loft gaps. Fleetwood’s SB (Standard Bounce) grinds give him consistent performance across the firm fairways and tight lies. A set up that would suit the mid-high handicap that have a neutral angle of attack who typically play courses with firmer conditions.
Putter: TaylorMade Spider Tour Black
Neck: Short Slant | Insert: Pure Roll | Loft: 2.5° | Lie: 69° | Length: 34″
Grip: SuperStroke 2.0 Mid Slim
Fleetwood’s Spider Tour Black is arguably the most personal club in his bag. Though it looks simple, it’s customized in a deliberate way — starting with the alignment lines he draws himself before every event. Instead of relying on the stock sightline, he uses a Sharpie to sketch a line that fits his eyes and setup preferences.
That attention to detail ensures his visuals match his aim, an often-overlooked part of putting. Fleetwood’s ability to line up confidently knowing that his face is square has played a big role in his putting resurgence this season.
Fitting Insight: In putting fittings, we often see aim bias as one of the biggest barriers to consistency. Many players don’t realize they’re aimed left or right at address simply because the topline, finish, or alignment aid doesn’t suit their eye. That’s why we use tools like Quintic and laser testing — to identify how your eyes perceive alignment. Sometimes, the fix isn’t mechanical; it’s visual. A line that “looks right” to you can instantly change your confidence over the ball.
Ball: TaylorMade TP5x Pix
Fleetwood continues to trust the TP5x Pix, a tour ball built for speed, stability, and high launch.
Fitting Insight: During ball fittings, we often emphasize spin and launch gapping between wedges and irons — but the visual patterning on the ball is another underrated fitting element. Players who struggle to commit to aim lines or start lines on the greens can benefit from using alignment-pattern balls like Pix or Triple Track for immediate feedback.
