Fitzpatrick, who has now won twice this season, struck the winning putt with his Bettinardi BB1 Flow prototype putter, the same blade he’s used for all four of his PGA Tour wins. But it’s not the putter he was using at the start of the year.
The 31-year-old’s return to world-class form over the last six months was initially sparked in the fall when he followed the professional golf trend and switched to a Bettinardi BB48 mid-mallet putter. He won with that wand at the DP World Tour Championship and used it for his first four starts of the PGA Tour season in 2026.
But Fitzpatrick lost strokes putting in all four of those events, so he switched back to the blade that won him the 2022 U.S. Open and immediately finished second at the Players Championship before winning the following week at the Valspar.

Since going back to the BB1, he has gained strokes on the greens in all four events and now has two wins, a runner-up and a T18 at the Masters. The two victories are the only two this season on the PGA Tour with a blade putter and the first two since last year’s 3M Open.
Fitzpatrick’s putter features a unique C-Groove face and is essentially a replica of the Yes! Golf Tracy II, he used in college, that Bettinardi took 30 prototypes to meet the 2013 U.S. Amateur champ’s exacting eye. It’s crafted from Bettinardi’s unique Double Aged Stainless Steel (DASS), typically used in their Tour putters.
The most recent PGA Tour winner also has a 10-year-old set of Ping S55 irons with an old Ping CFS shaft that was a Ping-made stock offering several years ago. His irons are super flat to compensate for his out-to-in swing path and help him start the ball straighter with a pull-draw shot shape.

Matt Fitzpatrick’s winning clubs at the 2026 RBC Heritage
GT3 – Speed-Tuned Distance & Control
GT3 offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization. With a speed-tuned design that allows you to precisely match performance to your most frequent contact location, you can make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.
For players with a relatively consistent impact location, GT3 offers a precisely adjustable CG Track to max out distance and directional control.
Seamless Thermoform Crown
A reimagined ultra-lightweight design, born from a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. The tunable acoustic properties of this unique composite allow Titleist engineers to realize new material gains while maintaining our signature sound and feel. All wrapped in a clean look that inspires total confidence.
Split Mass Construction
A breakthrough in internal weighting unlocks longer drives and enhanced directional control in GT3. The Adjustable CG Track now sits closer to the face for more dynamic CG control, while additional discretionary mass is pushed to the back of the club to maintain optimal stability through impact.
Advanced Aerodynamics
GT3 features a new raised tail contour that represents a dramatic shift in driver aerodynamics. Previously impossible to execute due to design constraints, this advanced shaping results in a driver that swings faster while still providing optimal CG control.
Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei 1K Pro Orange Wood Shaft
NOW AVAILABLE — A material improvement. TENSEI™ 1K Pro Orange builds on the legacy of CK Pro Orange by incorporating 1K Carbon Fiber into the shaft’s construction. The result is Mitsubishi Chemical’s most premium counterbalanced offering ever, a shaft that features even lower torque and tighter dispersion than its renowned Carbon Kevlar predecessor.
TENSEI loosely translates to “transformation” and the latest iteration of our 1K family represents yet another transformation. Built using the incredible 1K Carbon Fiber in the handle for a tighter weave and less imperfections and bolstered with additional tungsten handle side, MR70 tip side, and the new Xlink Tech™ Resin System, TENSEI 1K Pro Orange turns over every stone to create the finest Orange profile Mitsubishi has ever made.
The Tour-inspired i240 advances our popular Players technology, providing added forgiveness along with the control, look and feel that will appeal to a wide range of skill levels. It’s PING’s highest-launching Players model, giving golfers more control and the ability to consistently hit their distance numbers and stop the ball close to the hole.
A new ABS badge in the true cavity-back design is 8.5g lighter, and combined with an elastomer insert allows for more perimeter weighting to increase the MOI in the mid and long irons. This helps achieve an 11% reduction in dispersion. The badge and insert contribute to a more desirable sound and a softer, responsive feel from the 431 stainless steel cast head.
THE GREATEST COMBINATION OF SPEED, SPIN AND FEEL For players who prioritize total performance, with higher flight and higher spin. New faster high gradient core Speed amplifying high-flex casing layer Spherically-tiled 348 tetrahedral dimple design Soft cast urethane elastomer cover
