What’s In The Bag: Ben Griffin

Take a closer look at the gear powering Ben Griffin’s rise on the PGA Tour, including the surprising golf ball behind his breakthrough wins.

Ben Griffin is quickly making a name for himself on the PGA Tour. Griffin is now in the top 30 of the OWGR, having earned his first PGA Tour win at the 2025 Zurich Classic alongside Andrew Novak, and then backed it up with a solo victory at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, both of which were played with the Maxfli Tour X golf ball.

Before turning pro, Griffin had a standout collegiate career at the University of North Carolina, which set the stage for his pro aspirations. Although his journey to the Tour was not immediate, he spent several years honing his game on the Korn Ferry Tour prior.

After turning professional in 2018, Griffin faced challenges that led him to step away from competitive golf in 2021, when he took a job as a mortgage loan officer. However, his passion for the game reignited, and he returned to earn his PGA Tour card for the 2023 season. Today, he’s a player to watch on tour, with a growing list of impressive performances and a unique position as the lone Maxfli user on Tour.

Now, let us dive into his unique mix of clubs and surprising ball choice. We’re taking a closer look inside his bag to see what’s powering his breakthrough season.
