Tony Finau is well-liked, family first and rarely chases the limelight. He has quietly become one of my favorite players over the years. Finau’s bag evolves slowly and deliberately, and while most of it follows a familiar pattern, there is one club that stands out simply because it never goes away.
Below is Tony Finau’s current setup.
Tony Finau WITB (2026)
- Driver: PING G440 LST (9° headed, played at ~7.1°)
- 3-wood: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond T
- Iron of use: NIKE Vapor Fly Pro (3)
- Irons: The PING T project (4–PW)
- Wedge: PING S159 (50°, 56°)
- Lob Wedge: PING S159 (60°) OR Title Vokey Design WedgeWorks Proto (60-04T)
- Shooter: PING PLD Custom – Ally Blue 5 Starter
- Ball: Titleist Pro V1 Left Point
The driver changes, the configuration does not
Finau moves forward with PING’s LST line as new models are released, but the configuration philosophy remains closed.
His current G440 LST played with significantly reduced loft, around 7.1 degrees, paired with a Ventus Black Velo+ shaft profile designed to keep launch and high-speed spin under control.
The only club that never leaves
The Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron has survived multiple iron cycles, multiple bag refreshes and years of touring Tour equipment. That alone tells you that it fills a role that nothing else has replaced.
In a WITB video, Finau recently had this to say about the NIKE Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron: “This is my trusty 3-iron. I’ve been hitting this for 10 years since the golf club is about 80 years old. I’ve hit it more than any other club in my bag. For that reason, it’s just my favorite club.”
Whether it’s the release, the gap or a specific flight that Finau relies on, this club continues to earn its place.
The putter evolves in silence
For years, Finau stuck with a prototype PING PLD Anser, resisting the move by many players to larger hammer-style putters.
Transition to PLD Custom Ally Blue Start 5 marks his first real departure from that model. It offers more stability than his previous blade without abandoning the clean look he prefers.
Final thought
Tony Finau carries one of the most durable golf bags on the PGA Tour. The tire change in the summer of 2025 was huge for him. The real story will be when (if?) the NIKE Vapor Fly releases and what it replaces it with.
