Callaway Opus (2024) vs Callaway Opus SP+ (2026) Wedges

Verdict

The Callaway Opus SP+ is a tour grind wedge built around the scoring lofts. It comes in 54° through 60° only, but each loft can be had in three sole shapes: the Z grind at 8° of bounce, the S grind at 10° and the X grind at 12°. It is also forged, with tungsten weighting in a multi-material head. The Callaway Opus takes a different approach. It is a versatile cavity back wedge with vibration dampening, sold in a single S grind but across eight lofts from 46° to 60°, so it can fill every gap from a pitching wedge replacement down to a lob wedge. The SP+ suits a player who knows how they deliver the club and wants to pick a sole to match. The Opus suits a golfer who wants one consistent design through the whole set.

Both list at $159.99 per wedge in chrome, so price will not decide this unless the older Opus, now two years behind the 2026 SP+, turns up discounted. Pick the Opus SP+ if feel and grind choice matter most and you only need the higher lofts. Pick the Opus if forgiveness and gapping matter more, or if you want a matching set that starts at 46°. For most golfers building a full set, the Opus is the easier recommendation.
