Quick Answer

John Daly plays a Krank Formula Fire Pro driver, Sub 70 669 MB irons, Sub 70 TAIII wedges, and a Bettinardi Tiki BB1 putter, as recorded in the December 2025 bag snapshot. The driver is built with a Newton Motion 6 Dot shaft.

This is John Daly's bag. Not to be confused with John Daly II, tracked separately.

John Daly won the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick as the ninth alternate, having never played the course, and added the 1995 Open Championship at St Andrews in a playoff over Costantino Rocca. Five PGA Tour wins total, and a long-standing reputation built on driving distance and a refusal to conform to conventional setups. He now competes primarily on PGA Tour Champions. The 7.5 degree Krank Formula Fire Pro at the top of the bag is the tell. Krank is a long drive manufacturer, not a tour staple, and 7.5 degrees is a loft almost nobody on a senior circuit carries. It sits on a Newton Motion 6 Dot. The irons go the other direction entirely, Sub 70 669 MB blades from 6 through PW on KBS Tour 120 S, a direct-to-consumer muscleback rather than anything with a tour contract attached. A Bettinardi Tiki BB1 finishes it. Krank is the only driver brand on record here.

Bag History
