Matthieu Pavon

🇫🇷#268·UPDATED Oct 13, 2026

Quick Answer

Matthieu Pavon plays a PING G440 Max driver, PING i230 irons, PING S159 wedges, a PING PLD DS 72 putter, and the Titleist Pro V1 ball, as recorded in the June 2025 bag snapshot. The driver is built with a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6 X shaft.

Matthieu Pavon is a French professional who came up through the Challenge Tour and DP World Tour before earning PGA Tour status, where he became the first Frenchman to win on the PGA Tour in nearly century with his 2024 Farmers Insurance Open victory at Torrey Pines. That breakthrough launched him into a Masters debut and a run of contention in elite fields through 2024. The bag reads as a PING build from tee to green. The driver is a PING G440 Max at 9 degrees with a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6 X, an update from the PING G430 Max logged in early 2024. Irons have held steady at PING i230 from 3 through pitching wedge across both snapshots, now spec'd with Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 X. The putter moved within the PING family, from a Cadence TR Tomcat C in 2024 to a PLD DS 72 milled model in the current setup. Titleist Pro V1 has been the ball throughout.
