Why one of the Tour's longest hitters employs this new Titleist club

The era of a 7-wood being reserved exclusively for game improvement players is long over. Especially when you have a long-hitting PGA Tour winner like Michael Brennan playing one. Brennan collected his second PGA Tour victory on Sunday, winning the Wyndham Championship to springboard into the playoffs after he burst on the scene last October, going from limited PGA Tour status to winner at the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship.

While much of Brennan’s equipment was unchanged from his first victory, he has made some tweaks to his top of bag. In addition to adding Titleist’s mysterious GTS prototype 3-wood, Brennan also, at least for the Wyndham Championship, utilized a Titleist GTS3 7-wood instead of the T150 utility 3-iron he wielded at Black Desert last year.

The GTS3 7-wood is a new loft option in Titleist’s GTS line. Previously, the 21-degree fairway wood was only available in the larger “1” and “2” lines. Seeing the trend toward more high-lofted fairway woods, even for high-speed players like Brennan who is second on Tour in driving distance, Titleist added the 21-degree loft to the GTS3 lineup for the first time.

Brennan isn’t alone in adding the club. Both Cameron Young and Russell Henley have added the GTS3 7-wood to the bag this season and have won with it. “It’s nice to have both in the line. I think GTS2 and GTS3 appeal to different players,” Titleist Tour rep Nick Geyer said of the 7-wood loft. “And when you’re talking about both flight as well as look, you’ve got two really cool options that both do what they’re supposed to do.”
