Morikawa started his weekend charge with a remarkable Saturday 62 in which he actually lost strokes putting, a common theme over the past year for the two-time major winner.
But on Sunday, Morikawa gained 1.6 strokes putting en route to a final-round 67 to win by 1 over Min Woo Lee. He did so with the help of a new Spider Tour X flow neck putter he added to the bag last week. Turns out the prototype putter wasn’t actually made for him.
The putter originally belonged to Kurt Kitayama, who gave it to his brother. Morikawa saw Kitayama’s brother, Daniel, playing with the putter, which also has a unique “back T” alignment aid, and asked to borrow it. He put it in play at the WM Phoenix Open.

While the putter finally provided servicable results, Morikawa’s iron game was dialed as he picked up a career-best 6.59 Strokes Gained: Approach in his third-round 62, the best of any round in the tournament’s history, according to stat guru Justin Ray.

Morikawa has a unique combination set of TaylorMade irons, using the older model P730 blades in his short irons, P7CBs in his 5- and 6-irons and then moving to a PDHY utility iron for his 4-iron.
The PDHY is the highest-launching model in TaylorMade’s utility iron lineup and is rarely used on the PGA Tour. But Morikawa switched to it late last year and used it to hit his crucial approach shot at the 72nd, setting up the winning birdie.
During testing this week, Morikawa found greater consistency in launch and spin with the TP5x compared with his previous TP5. He also found that it cut more easily and was more predictable in high winds, given the lower spin.

So Collin is truly the gift from the equipment content gods that keeps on giving.
He made a switch from the Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 60 TX he’s played since 2020 to a newer Diamana WB 63 X last week and used it in Round 1 at Pebble.
Morikawa also switched his driver shaft a week ago in Phoenix, moving from the Mitsubishi D+ Limited 60 TX shaft he has used since 2020 to the newer Diamana Whiteboard 63 X. But the change was short-lived, as Morikawa switched back to the D+ on Friday. He lost nearly .3 strokes off the tee in Round 1 and then gained nearly 3 strokes off the tee the rest of the way.

TOUR PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES
New and improved cut-through Speed Pocket™ protects ball speed and reduces spin on low-face strikes.
Advanced CAD modeling creates a design with a clean and powerful sound, a foundation of TaylorMade driver performance.
Multi-Material Construction allows engineers to strategically place mass in areas of the head where it maximizes performance, speed, and stability.
The board is back. After a few years away, the vintage surfboard always associated with Diamana™ makes its return with Diamana WB. Built on an extraordinarily popular and tour-proven platform, WB brings classic low-low performance and the legendary stability and control you’ve come to expect after two decades.
The first in the 6th Generation Diamana™ family, WB is designed with all the traditional branding that made Diamana™ so beloved, including flowers in the handle section, a surfboard behind the Diamana logo, and return to the original 53/63/73/83 weight class designations. But rest assured, the only thing throwback about Diamana™ WB is its appearance. Indeed, super high-modulus 80-ton Dialead Pitch Fiber is used in the butt section to deliver maximum stability and increased energy transfer and high modulus 46-ton fiber is used in the shaft’s angle plies to reduce torque without increasing weight for improved control and stability. Carbon fiber orientation at the tip section is optimized to further lower torque.
The classic feel of this Diamana™ profile is achieved through the use of our proprietary Xlink Tech™ Resin System and MR70 technologies. Our Xlink Tech™ Resin System increases the strength and durability of the shaft while driving carbon fiber volume up for better feel. Feel and strength is further increased through the use of our aerospace-grade MR70 fiber – our strongest fiber to date.
Advanced Multi-Material Construction combines the most effective engineering techniques with the finest materials to create one of our longest moveable weight fairways.
The Titanium Qi4D Tour fairway is designed for golfers who seek the ultimate weapon to conquer long par 5s and to thread the needle of the narrowest of tee shots.
ADJUSTABLE PERFORMANCE

Utilizing three Trajectory Adjustment System weights (15g x 1 / 4g x 2) provides the golfer the most mass efficient way to adjust shot shape and spin.
4° loft sleeve can be used to adjust loft, lie and face angle for optimized flight.
CG OPTIMIZATION
Engineers were able to improve launch without adding spin due to the use of an ultralightweight titanium body and advanced CAD model simulations. This result is a fairway that is easy to launch with incredible distance from any lie.
A large 60g tungsten mass pad moves the center of gravity extremely low and forward, creating a hot trajectory for more distance.

FORGED FEEL
Incredible feel is a must for having a great wedge game. MG5 has been forged from soft carbon steel and designed with geometry to provide excellent feel with great feedback.
MAXIMUM SPIN
MG5 uses all-new, more aggressive grooves designed to maximize spin. Saw-milled grooves produce tighter tolerances allowing engineers to design steeper walls and sharper radii intended to maximize spin in both dry and damp conditions.
PERFORMANCE IN ALL CONDITIONS
RAW face with Spin Tread technology channels away moisture to help retain spin. The same way that tire treads help your car stay connected to the road, laser-etched channels redirect water at impact and creates more friction between the club face and golf ball to maintain spin in wet conditions.
CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS CONSISTENCY
Crafted by hand and then milled to perfection. Each wedge and sole grind are precision-milled to eliminate the natural human error that comes with hand polishing. Our grinds deliver unmatched consistency and craftsmanship that players can count on every time.
CHARCOAL FINISH
MG5 debuts a sleek, sophisticated charcoal finish that reduces glare and enhances its aesthetic appeal in the bag.
