History was made at Portrush this year as Fujikura made it a clean sweep of winners across all four Major Championships in 2025. In a season of unprecedented glory and worldwide wins, the position of Fujikura as the consistent choice of champions and the global leader in shaft innovation was confirmed with all four Major winners using VENTUS shafts in their driver – the first time a specialist driver shaft brand has achieved such a feat*.
Fujikura registered its first Major win in 2001, and over the last five years has become the most used driver shaft on the PGA Tour with countless more victories across golf’s biggest tournaments.
The win for Scottie Scheffler in Royal Portrush was his second Major success of the year, following another runaway victory in the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. On both occasions, Scheffler gamed a VENTUS Black 7-X in his driver.
Scheffler also trusted VENTUS in his wood shafts, using a VENTUS Black 8-X in his 3-wood (Portrush and Quail Hollow), and VENTUS Black 9-X in their 7-wood (Quail Hollow). It was a shaft line-up that proved critical in delivering two of the most dominant wins of the season across two vastly different layouts.
Fujikura’s journey to making history began in April, with Rory McIlroy completing the Grand Slam gaming a VENTUS Black 6-X in his driver. McIlroy also gamed a VENTUS Black 8-X and VENTUS Black 9-X in his 3-wood and 5-wood respectively.
Completing the clean sweep in Majors this year was JJ Spaun at Oakmont who closed out victory using the new VENTUS Black 6-X shaft in his driver with tournament-winning birdies at the 71st and 72nd holes, which included driving the green on the 314-yard par-4 17th.
Designed with advanced VeloCore+ technology – the victory at Oakmont was the first Major win registered for the new line of VENTUS with VeloCore+ – the VENTUS Black 6-X shaft would provide the stability, accuracy and distance needed to overcome one of the most gruelling tests in golf.
With all four Major victories, the winners put faith in the VENTUS line to maximise clubhead stability and promote consistent centre-face contact, which in turn translates to tighter dispersion and greater control from the tee and fairway.
Fujikura also backed up its position as the most used driver and wood shaft among the world’s best players. At the final Major of the year in Northern Ireland, an impressive 43.9% of the field chose the brand’s shafts in their driver (69 out of 157), with 39.3% of players trusting Fujikura in their wood shaft line-up**.
However, across all four Majors, the numbers prove even more impressive, with 44.9% trusting the brand’s shafts in their driver (255 players out of 568), and 40.7% playing Fujikura in their wood line-up. In comparison, the nearest competitor returned 24.8% of players using their shafts in the driver, and 26% across wood shafts**.
Eric Recher, Director of Marketing at Fujikura, said: “We are proud to have made history by supporting the winners of all four Major Championships in 2025.
“It is testament to the innovation and technology that goes into our driver and wood shafts that so many of the world’s best players rely on the consistency of VENTUS when the pressure is at its most intense.
“Fujikura’s success across the 2025 Majors only adds to our storied history of powering global victories across the professional tours. But we believe the innovation that goes into every product we make will ensure there is a VENTUS shaft option for every level of player throughout their woods and utility clubs.
“Whether you are chasing a Major or your best round at your local course, VENTUS and Fujikura’s full line-up of shafts are designed to elevate every player’s game.”
