Speaking before the Wells Fargo Championship, Woods said that he was satisfied he could hit higher shots with more spin, without sacrificing yardage. He said that he had considered using the new irons at the Masters, but stuck with the unbranded Nikes for one more week. "It's not a big deal, because I have been working on this for months,” Woods said. "Now I can hit the ball with the correct numbers and shape. So far, so good, and I am looking forward to continuing that process with the team.” Elsewhere in the bag, Woods is sticking with his two Nike VA Pro Forged wedges (56 and 60 degrees) and the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter he's won 13 of his 14 major titles with. Otherwise, 11 of his 14 clubs are TaylorMade.
