About GolfSetups
A record of what golf equipment real players actually use, verified against real sources, not guessed from a sponsorship deal.
Why this exists
Golf equipment sites are usually one of two things: a retailer's catalogue, or a forum thread that goes stale the day it's posted. GolfSetups is neither. It's a running record, per player, of exactly what's in the bag — the driver, the irons, the shafts, the ball — each one tied to the specific article, broadcast or report that confirmed it. When a player changes equipment, the page changes with them, not a one-time snapshot from whenever someone first wrote it down.
Who it covers
Tour pros and ranked competitors first, but also notable amateurs, golf content creators, a few famous people who golf without being tour pros, and historical or retired players. The roster is large; the number of players with a public page at any moment is smaller and growing — see the changelog for the real, current count.
How it's verified
Every item traces to a real, checkable source. Research is AI-assisted, but every finding is checked by a human against its cited source before it publishes — see methodology for exactly what "verified" means here and what's deliberately left out rather than guessed at.
Who runs this
GolfSetups is built and maintained by The Caddy — an independently run project, not a brand or a retailer. It isn't affiliated with any of the equipment manufacturers, players or tours it covers. Questions, corrections or anything else — get in touch.
The Caddy also runs two sister sites with the same verification standard, for other sports: SkiSetups (professional ski equipment) and SkateSetups (professional skateboard setups).
