Scottsdale — Big swings, familiar favorites: what drivers really won on the 2025 PGA Tour
If you like gear gossip and scorecard drama, the 2025 PGA Tour has delivered a tasty spread. Across the season, winners teed off with 40 different drivers — a sign that players still pick what works for them rather than chasing every new release. But a few names and a couple of trusty models kept popping up week after week.
The headline makers: who won the most and what they used
The season’s top winners were in plain view: one player collected five victories and another took three. Both of those top champions relied heavily on the same model — the TaylorMade Qi10 Dot — to rack up their wins. As the season stands, the first star has stayed faithful to the Dot version, while the other switched back to the standard Qi10 after some mid-season tinkering. Together, those two players account for a whopping eight of TaylorMade’s ten driver wins this year.
Brand battle — Titleist, Ping, TaylorMade and the rest
The top brand by victories this season was Titleist, which led the pack with 12 wins across 39 events. Ping landed an impressive 10 wins, matching a steady presence on Tour. TaylorMade drivers combined for 10 wins as well, thanks to the heavy contributions from the Qi10 Dot users and additional wins from Tommy Fleetwood and Karl Vilips — Fleetwood used the Dot version of the newer Qi35 and Vilips favored the LS version.
Callaway and Srixon together accounted for eight wins. Callaway grabbed five, while Srixon chipped in three. The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond was a standout model, used repeatedly by winners and responsible for multiple victories this season. One notable win with that Callaway model came at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Srixon showed up too: one well-known player used the ZX5 LS Mk II before switching later to the ZXi model.
Model-level storylines
- TaylorMade Qi10 Dot — the season’s most used model, powered largely by the two top-winning players. It accounts for more wins than any other single driver model this year.
- Titleist GT2 and Titleist GT3 — each responsible for five wins. The GT2 has been picked by players seeking extra forgiveness and stability; the GT3 is favored by higher swing-speed players chasing ball speed.
- Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond — enjoyed strong use and multiple wins (used by several winners and contributing multiple victories this season).
- Ping models such as the G440 and G430 LST appeared in the winner’s circle across the campaign.
Old vs. new — players stick with what works
One clear trend: the latest releases haven’t fully pushed older models off tour bags. Lots of players keep older TSi2 and TSi3 Titleist drivers, or carry proven Ping and Callaway heads, because those clubs have already delivered real results. Even when brands roll out fresh tech, the Tour often looks like a museum of winners’ favorites — until the grass tells a different story.
Why this matters to everyday golfers
For club shoppers and gear nerds, this season is a reminder: consistency, comfort and confidence with your driver often beats chasing the newest model. Tour players are testing and switching, but many still win with the drivers that match their swing and decision-making. If you’re trying to learn from the pros, focus less on brand noise and more on the driver characteristics that suit your swing — forgiveness, launch, spin and feel.
