Which wedges do the top 10 players in the world use?
GolfMagic rounds up the wedges that the world's best rely on for their pinpoint short games.
While big driving gets all the views on social media, everyone knows it's in the short game where majors are really won.
As such, the world's best players are notoriously picky about the clubs they trust most when attacking pins and chipping off the incredibly tight lies of Championship-spec courses.
Only the best golf wedges will do for the world's best players, particularly when the difference between getting up-and-down on rapid greens can come down to a matter of inches.
Just a select few brands can boast of being played by the world's very best players. But which wedges are the current world top 10 rocking right now?
Read on to find out.
1. Scottie Scheffler: Titleist Vokey SM8 & SM9
If you hadn't gathered by now, Scottie Scheffler is a golfer loath to change something in his set-up when it's clearly working for him. This approach extends to his wedges, where he games a combination of wedges not just from a brand he's not contracted to, but also consisting of models now well out of their production cycle.
At a 50 and 56 degree gapping, Scheffler plays the same Titleist Vokey SM8 wedges he's used for a few years now. He has also recently shifted from a Titleist SM9 wedge into one of the brand's newer Vokey Design Wedgeworks 60-degree wedges for use on tight chips.
2. Rory McIlroy: TaylorMade Milled Grind 5
One new TaylorMade release Rory McIlroy has been enthusiastic in adopting is the MG5 family of wedges, which released last year and have already found their way into the Northern Irishman's bag. As the first fully-forged wedges ever released in TaylorMade's signature wedge line, the MG5s are already earning plaudits for their enhanced feel and exceptional workability around the greens.
Eschewing a pitching wedge, McIlroy uses four MG5 wedges starting at a 46 degree loft, working all the way up to a 60 degree lob wedge (which McIlroy has bent to a 61 degree lie).

3. Cameron Young: Titleist Vokey SM11
A long-term Titleist and FootJoy ambassador Cameron Young games a total of four different Vokey wedges, starting with three from the most recent SM11 range. Lofted at 48, 52 and 57-degree profiles, the American has opted to gear all of with the brand's F-grind: an all-purpose build designed to facilitate fuller, crisper wedge shots.
Like plenty of other tour players, Young's 60-degree lob wedge comes from the Vokey Design range's WedgeWorks line, custom-designed in Bob Vokey's workshop to fit Young's exact swing and aesthetic preferences. Interestingly, Young has his custom set with a whopping 62 degrees of loft.
4. Matt Fitzpatrick: Titleist Vokey SM10
Fitzpatrick carries four Titleist Vokey wedges, switching into a full range of the brand's new Vokey SM10 wedges towards the end of this season after previously gaming a mixture of SM9 and SM10 wedges.
5. Russell Henley: Titleist Vokey SM11
One area where Henley has been happy to move into the most recent titleist model is in his wedges, where he's switched out of his prior Vokey Design SM10 wedges and into a brand new set of SM11s. Like many pros, he uses four Vokeys, switching out his traditional pitching wedge for a 48-degree SM11 for spin and control when attacking the pins.
6. Justin Rose: Titleist Vokey SM10, Cleveland RTZ
Justin Rose is another to have slotted a pair of wedges from the brand's SM10 range into his bag. 52 and 56-degree profiles, the former World No. 1 has his geared with F and M-grinds respectively, both engineered for versatility on fuller pitch shots and around the greens.
Rose's 60-degree lob wedge, however comes from the Cleveland RTZ line, custom designed by the company to fit his exact swing and aesthetic preferences. Most notably, it has three large holes bored into the back to save weight.
“It is basically from the mould of the 588 Wide Sole from back in the day, but just current material and legal grooves,” Robert Waters, Tour manager for Srixon/Cleveland Golf, told the website.
Rose's reasoning for adopting a wider, higher-bounce profile was to improve versatility in the unique bunkers and tight lies at Augusta in the lead-up to The Masters, however he's kept the Cleveland in the bag for now.
7. Tommy Fleetwood: TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4, TaylorMade Milled Grind 5
Fleetwood prefers a combination of TaylorMade wedges, having recently switched into a full rotation of the brand's wedges after a lengthy spell gaming Titleist Vokeys. His approach wedge, interestingly, comes from the more forgiving Hi-Toe 4 model, which provides a larger, high-toe design for more confidence and a more forgiving hitting area.
His gap and lob wedges, meanwhile, come from the brand new MG5 line, which was developed alongside the likes of Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa and Jacob Bridgeman to give pros the control and workability around the greens they truly need.
8. Wyndham Clark: Titleist Vokey SM11
The new U.S. Open Champion also relies on the consistency and quality of Titleist's renowned Vokey wedges, having switched into the new SM11 model for the 2026 season.
Clark plays a suite of 4 Vokey wedges, switching out his pitching wedge for a 44-degree wedge from the range, and also has a 60-degree lob wedge from the brand's custom Wedgeworks workshop.
9. Collin Morikawa: TaylorMade Milled Grind 5
TaylorMade's forged MG5 wedges have proven a popular addition to its line-up over the last 9 months, with most TaylorMade staffers switching straight out of the prior MG4 models and into the new line. Morrikawa is no exception, gaming a full suite of three wedges from the MG5 range.
Morrikawa was pivotal in testing and helping TaylorMade refine the new wedges, with his feedback leading directly to TaylorMade's decision to forge the wedges rather than cast them.
10. Jon Rahm: Callaway Jaws Raw, Callaway Opus SP
Callaway's Jaws Raw wedges released way back in 2021, and Jon Rahm has had them in the bag ever since. The Spaniard also spent short period experimenting with the brand's new Opus SP irons in 2025, and still carries a 60-degree lob wedge from the newer line in play.
