After his remarkable debut at the Chubb Classic, Paul Stankowski’s 2025 What’s In The Bag (WITB) lineup quickly became a highlight for golf enthusiasts. Kicking things off with an astounding four birdies in just his first half-dozen holes, Stankowski ended the round at 7-under par, shooting an impressive 65 on the Tiburón Golf Club’s Black Course.
Coming off an extended offseason dedicated to refining his swing and enhancing his fitness, Stankowski returned to the greens ready to make his mark. Despite admitting to some initial "rust," he found his groove with the putter just when it was crucial.
Curious about the equipment trusted by Stankowski in 2025? We got the scoop directly from his son, Joshua, who doubles as his caddie. Here’s a comprehensive look at what’s in Paul’s bag this season.

Paul’s Weapon of Choice: The Driver
Driver: Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond (9.0 Degree) with Fujikura Motorcore X 7X Shaft
This year, Paul took the leap to replace the decades-old graphite shafts he had been loyal to with a fresh Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond driver. When asked about the new addition during the Chubb Classic, he quipped:
"I ditched the 22-year-old graphite shafts and put a new driver in the bag. New starting lines, new clubs, same old me, just a year older."
Despite the changes, we caught sight of his former favorite, the Callaway Epic Speed Triple Diamond (8.5 degree), still subtly tucked into his bag—complete with some lead tape on the clubhead for good measure.
