What’s In The Bag: Justin Thomas (May 2025 Update)
Published:
What golf clubs and ball does Justin Thomas use? Our in-depth review of what’s in the bag of the two-time PGA Championship winner.
The former World No.1 is a Titleist player with two Major titles to his name. With his form returning in 2025, Thomas will hope to add another Grand Slam title to his resume this year.
The American, who won the PGA Championship in 2017 and again in 2022, also has a Players Championship to his name, along with 13 other PGA Tour titles.
JT had endured a slump in form since winning his second Wanamaker trophy three years ago, but having won the inaugural TGL title with Atlanta Drive GC in March, he kicked on to finish finish runner-up at The Valspar before returning to the PGA Tour winner’s circle at the RBC Heritage two weeks’ later, seeing off Andrew Novak in a playoff at Harbour Town Golf Links.
The Kentuckian, who has played in three Ryder Cups and three Presidents Cups for the US, has been a Titleist player since before turning pro in 2013, rarely putting anything not made by the brand into tournament play. He’s even had his own proto irons developed by the brand – 621.JT.
He also plays the Titleist V1x 2023 golf balls and wears FootJoy shoes and glove. Both Titleist and FootJoy are owned by the same parent company – Acushnet.

What golf ball does Justin Thomas use?
Justin Thomas uses a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball
Best tour standard premium ball
The urethane cover on the Pro V1x is created by mixing two components, with the liquid urethane cast into Titleist-manufactured cavities to form the appropriate dimple pattern into the cover. Titleist says the precise timing and temperature are integral to the consistency of golf’s No.1 ball.
The 348-dimple design was a huge change in the 2021 ball and, unsurprisingly, that remains on the new model to optimize aerodynamics. The casing works with the new core to reduce excess long-game spin while combining with the cover to create greenside spin.

What golf shoes does Justin Thomas wear?
Justin Thomas wears FootJoy Premiere Golf Shoes
For all the traditional styling, Premiere is packed with innovation and ooze luxury thanks to hand-picked leather, calfskin detailing, and sheepskin lining. The Premiere is fully waterproof and the leather is surprisingly easy to keep clean.
The Premiere comes in 12 percent lighter than the popular DryJoys Tour, helped by the new VersaTrax+ outsole. The ‘anti-channeling tread pattern’ gave me excellent traction across the entire shoe and I never felt any risk of slipping.
I like how FJ mixed harder and softer TPU compounds to make the shoe as grippy and comfortable on hard surfaces as it is on the course.
I was impressed by the performance and overall comfort. FootJoy’s Ortholite FitBed, which gradually shapes to your foot, works brilliantly and is seriously clever tech.
See how the Premiere Series compares in our guide to the best FootJoy golf shoes.
Pros
- Quality materials
- Ortholite insole
- Superb traction
Cons
- Take some wearing in
| Sizes | 6 – 15 |
