Jacob Skov Olesen turned professional in November 2024 after gaining his DP World Tour membership at qualifying school, following on from winning the Amateur Championship and playing in the Open Championship at Royal Troon last year. The young Dane showed his ability by winning multiple amateur events and competing on the US collegiate circuit for both TCU and Arkansas University.
Despite making a bogey on his final hole of the day, the Dane currently holds the clubhouse lead during the first round of the 2025 Open Championship, after shooting a stellar 67, 4-under par.
Heading into his first major as a professional golfer, we dive into what clubs Olesen has in the bag as he embarks on his quest to lift the trophy this week at Royal Portrush for the 2025 Open Championship.

The Danish star put pen to paper and signed an equipment deal with Titleist when turning professional and so he games the Titleist GT2 9° driver with a Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ 6X. The GT2 is an extremely popular model in the professional game and is also trusted by the likes of Ludvig Aberg and Justin Thomas.
Olesen is no slouch off the tee, averaging just shy of 300 yards, but is fairly straight for how far he hits it. So far during the 24/25 DP World Tour season, he ranks 35th in driving accuracy – something that could prove to be a huge advantage in the testing conditions he’s likely to face at Royal Portrush.
The 26-year old also uses a Titleist GT280 mini driver set at 13°, powered by a Mitsubishi WB 63 TX shaft. Mini drivers are becoming increasingly popular in the professional game, particularly for golfers who struggle to draw the ball with the driver.

Following on from his GT2 driver and GT280 mini driver, the Dane games an 18° GT2 fairway wood set at 18°. While lofted fairway woods are certainly common in bags of professionals due to playing long golf courses with firm greens, a lot of players will look to swap out these lofted woods for utility irons when playing links golf. However, it looks as though Olesen will stick with his 5-wood at The Open this week.
