WHAT’S IN THE BAG: MARK NEIGHBOUR

New clubs, new bag… same dangerous confidence

If there’s one player on the Spider vs Tiger Tour who treats his golf bag like a Formula 1 pit stop, it’s Mark Neighbour. While most golfers stick with equipment for years, Mark approaches club selection with the enthusiasm of a man who believes the next club change might finally unlock greatness.

Ahead of the upcoming tour, Neighbour has once again refreshed large parts of his setup. New irons, new woods, a new bag — and even a new rangefinder have all found their way into the rotation.

Whether these upgrades result in lower scores remains to be seen, but one thing is guaranteed: Mark will definitely tell everyone about them.

The Bag

Mark has swapped his previous setup for the Ogio All Elements Hybrid Waterproof Stand Bag – Paradise edition.

A sleek, modern waterproof bag designed for serious golfers who play in all conditions — although in Mark’s case it may simply be designed to carry the weekly rotation of experimental clubs.

The bag features multiple waterproof pockets, a hybrid stand/cart design, and plenty of storage for the various gadgets Mark insists are “essential to performance”.

Driver

TaylorMade Qi35 Driver – Stiff Shaft

The big dog in the bag is the new TaylorMade Qi35. Known for its forgiveness and ball speed, Mark has wasted no time explaining to the group that this driver is “an absolute weapon.”

Early reports suggest the driver is long… although the fairway has yet to fully experience this claim.

The Mini Driver (The Talking Point)

TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini Driver

Possibly the most talked-about club in Mark’s bag this year.

Mark regularly claims that he can hit this mini driver further than most people hit their normal drivers — a statement he repeats most frequently when Simon Harris is within earshot.

Independent verification is ongoing.

Fairway Wood

TaylorMade Qi10 5 Wood – Stiff Shaft

This club comes with a slight twist.

The Qi10 5 wood currently residing in Mark’s bag has actually been borrowed from Rich, though the definition of “borrowed” may depend on how long it remains there.

Regardless, Mark insists the club is “perfect for the top end of the bag.”

Utility Iron

TaylorMade UDI 2 Iron

Replacing the previous PXG 2-iron, Mark has moved to the TaylorMade UDI driving iron.

Designed for low-spin piercing shots, it’s the perfect club for long approaches… or for attempting hero shots that most players would sensibly avoid.

---

Irons

TaylorMade P-7CB Irons – Stiff Shafts

One of the biggest equipment changes is Mark’s move away from Mizuno irons to the new TaylorMade P-7CB blades.

These irons are designed for elite ball-strikers and offer exceptional feel and control.

Whether Mark qualifies as the intended target audience is still under review, but the clubs certainly look the part.

Putter

Scotty Cameron Putter

A new Scotty Cameron has also entered the bag.

For golfers, the Scotty Cameron name carries legendary status. Precision milled, beautifully balanced, and trusted by tour professionals worldwide.

Naturally, Mark believes this will finally be the putter that “unlocks the flat stick.”

---

Rangefinder

MILESEEY GenePro G1 Touchscreen & GPS Rangefinder

Mark has also added a new gadget to the bag: the MILESEEY GenePro G1 Touchscreen GPS Rangefinder.

With touchscreen technology and GPS integration, the device provides extremely accurate yardages — ensuring Mark knows exactly how far he is from the pin before proceeding to miss it long.

Final Thoughts

With a new bag, new irons, a mini driver, a borrowed fairway wood, and a Scotty Cameron putter, Mark Neighbour’s 2026 setup is one of the most interesting on tour.

Whether these changes translate into results remains to be seen — but if nothing else, the equipment chat alone should keep the group entertained for several rounds.

One thing is certain:

If Mark turns up with a completely different bag by day two, nobody will be surprised.
