Hideki Matsuyama WITB Behind His 2025 Hero World Challenge Victory

When Hideki Matsuyama walked off the 18th green at Albany Golf Club with the 2025 Hero World Challenge trophy in hand, the victory felt like both a statement and a continuation of his renewed momentum. After a tightly contested week and a one-hole playoff against Alex Noren, Matsuyama sealed the win with a composed birdie — the kind of calm, clinical finish that has defined many of his greatest moments.

A closer look at his performance makes it clear that his equipment played a major role. Matsuyama trusted a 2025 Srixon ZXi LS driver for power and stability, backed by a TaylorMade Qi10 3-wood and a Cobra King RadSpeed Tour 5-wood for versatility in the long game. His Srixon Z-Forged II irons provided pinpoint control into greens, while his wedge setup and Scotty Cameron GSS putter delivered the precision needed to capitalise on scoring opportunities. It was a well-balanced, tour-tested setup — and it showed.

Matsuyama’s triumph in the Bahamas adds another highlight to a career marked by resilience and evolution. After rediscovering his winning form with the Genesis Invitational in 2024 and kicking off 2025 with a victory at The Sentry, he has re-established himself as one of the most consistent and dangerous players on tour. With this latest win, he reminds the golf world that he’s far from finished. Now, let’s take a closer look at the full WITB setup behind his victory.
