San Diego, California – Scottie Scheffler has established himself as the dominant force in the 2025 PGA Tour, amassing five tournament victories, the most for any golfer this season. His success can be largely attributed to his performance with the TaylorMade Qi10 Dot driver, which has become the most utilized driver model on the tour, leading to an impressive eight wins overall.
The current season has seen a total of 40 different drivers used among the winners, with notable golfers like Rory McIlroy, who trails Scheffler with three victories, also utilizing the Qi10 Dot driver. However, McIlroy has returned to a standard version of this model after experimenting with the Qi10 Dot earlier in the season.
Scheffler and McIlroy’s success has significantly contributed to TaylorMade’s performance, accounting for eight out of the ten driver victories achieved by the brand this year. Other players, including Tommy Fleetwood and Karl Vilips, have also secured wins with TaylorMade drivers.
In terms of brand performance, Titleist leads the pack with a total of 12 victories across 39 events, solidifying their prominence in the equipment market. For instance, Ludvig Aberg showcased versatility by using two different Titleist drivers, the GT2 for the first three rounds and the TSR2 on the final day to clinch the title at the Genesis Invitational.
Meanwhile, Ping drivers have contributed to ten victories, illustrating their competitive presence in the sport. Callaway and Srixon are tied in overall victories, with eight wins combined, highlighted by Justin Rose’s title win with Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond driver.
The detailed breakdown of driver victories for the season is as follows:
- TaylorMade Qi10 Dot: 8 wins
- Titleist GT2: 5 wins
- Titleist GT3: 5 wins
- Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond: 4 wins
- Ping G440 LST: 4 wins
Additionally, other models, including Titleist’s older drivers TSi2 and TSi3, as well as various Ping models such as G430 LST and G430 Max 10K, have played their part in securing tournament victories.
This season has also seen players like Min Woo Lee making strategic adjustments, such as reducing loft on their drivers, to enhance performance. Lee secured his first PGA Tour title at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, capitalizing on a four-shot lead going into the final round with a modified Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond driver, which provided improved distance control.
Looking ahead, Rory McIlroy remains focused on refining his game through slight adjustments to his driver, especially as he prepares for upcoming tournaments, including the prestigious Masters. Although McIlroy has experienced discomfort in his right elbow, he aims to resolve these health concerns before he competes again.
