As we have wrapped up the 2025 FedEx Cup season, we dive into the gear trends from this year’s PGA Tour winners. This week, we look at which driver models won the most last season.
Tour pros always have access to the latest and greatest equipment, but they aren’t always itching to upgrade from what’s been working well for them. Never before has that been more evident than this past season on the PGA Tour. While it should come as no surprise that Titleist, the No. 1 driver brand on the PGA Tour for the last seven seasons, picked up the most wins with 12 titles among 12 different players, an interesting trend emerged among the winners.
Of the five companies whose drivers claimed PGA Tour victories during the 2025 FedEx Cup season, only Titleist and Srixon collected the majority of their wins with their latest models. (And both of those manufacturers also picked up wins with previous driver models, including two that were approximately five years old!) Both Callaway and TaylorMade led their win counts with 2024 models, and Ping’s 2023/2024 models had just as many wins as its latest line.
This is nothing new at golf’s highest levels, where pros are notoriously picky and don’t like to change from what they’ve grown used to. Does that mean new drivers are inferior to older ones? Absolutely not. In fact, there’s a strong argument to be made that the driver market has never been as good as it is today.
But as this list will show you, 2024’s drivers were really good, too, and many of the best players in the world opted to simply keep those clubs instead of going through a lengthy vetting process. For others, it just comes down to trust. Regardless, the list of winning 2025 drivers also showcases a focus on forgiveness and spin retention, rather than low spin and speed, a trend that has continued over the last several years. Keep reading below for the list of the winningest drivers during the 2025 FedEx Cup season.
1. Titleist GT (10 wins, 10 players, 2 models)
Titleist’s GT2 and GT3 drivers were the winningest drivers of 2025, with both models racking up five wins with five different players. The five champs with each model were the most for a single driver in 2025. J.J. Spaun used a GT3 at the U.S. Open, where his clutch tee shot onto the green of the 71st helped set up a go-ahead birdie to secure his first major title. Like Spaun, two other players, Kurt Kitayama and Garrick Higgo, used GT drivers without an endorsement contract in their respective victories. The GT drivers were released in late 2024, and with Titleist’s two-year product cycles, they should continue to rack up PGA Tour victories into 2026.
GT drivers weren’t Titleist’s only winners this season. While Ludvig Aberg used a GT2 for the first three rounds of the Genesis Invitational (and we credited his win to that driver), he switched on Sunday to a previous-generation TSR2. The even older TSi2 and TSi3 drivers, originally released in 2020, each collected a win this past season, too.
2. TaylorMade Qi10 (8 wins, 2 players)
The winningest driver model of 2025 was played by only two PGA Tour champions this year, but those two players won eight times and three of the four major titles.
Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy’s continued usage of the TaylorMade Qi10 has made it one of the winningest driver models in recent memory. With McIlroy completing the career Grand Slam this season and Scheffler winning two majors, it’s safe to say their decision to stick with 2024 driver models was validated. TaylorMade’s current lineup, the Qi35, wasn’t to be shutout as rookie Karl Villips won with a Qi35 LS in Puerto Rico and Tommy Fleetwood took home the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup with a Qi35 core model.
T3. Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond (4 wins, 3 players, 2 models)
One of the best drivers of 2024 has kept it up in 2025. The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond and Triple Diamond Max were in the bags of Sepp Straka, Thomas Detry and Justin Rose for their four combined wins.
Straka won twice with the Triple Diamond Max, including the Truist Championship, while Rose got his first win in over two years after switching to the same Triple Diamond Max head the week of the FedEx St. Jude. Callaway’s 2025 driver, the Elyte, got a win in the bag of Min Woo Lee at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
T3. Ping G440 LST (4 wins, 3 players)
Ping has been a constant presence in driver counts over the last couple years, and its new G440 is no exception. While Brian Campbell won twice with the G440 LST, Andrew Novak and Chris Gotterup both used the 440 LST in their victories without endorsement deals.
T3. Ping G430 (4 wins, 3 players, 2 models)
Technically, Ben Griffin’s G430 Max 10K is still in production, but the G430 LST drivers played by Harris English and Keegan Bradley are both Ping’s previous generation models, yet they still earn wins on the PGA Tour. Griffin and Bradley earned their wins without endorsement deals from Ping.
