It’s easy to find out what drivers the longest PGA Tour players are using. It’s a little different for the Champions Tour players. The Champions Tour guys sometimes fly under the radar, even though many of these names will ring a bell for any golf fan. Tracking down their current golf club gear is tough. Many of them don’t frequently switch clubs and manufacturers aren’t always quick to update this information on their websites. Here’s a deep dive into the longest hitters on the Champions Tour and the drivers they’re gaming today.
Ten of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour Champions
| Player | Avg Distance | Driver Model |
|---|---|---|
| Padraig Harrington | 301.2 yd | Titleist TSR3 |
| Stewart Cink | 300.6 yd | Ping G440 Max |
| Cameron Percy | 296.4 yd | Ping G430 Max 10.5° |
| Ricardo Gonzalez | 293.3 yd | Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond |
| Retief Goosen | 291.5 yd | Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond |
| Angel Cabrera | 290.1 yd | Ping G430 LST |
| Ernie Els | 290.0 yd | XXIO 13 |
| Vijay Singh | 289.1 yd | Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond |
| Greg Chalmers | 288.8 yd | Titleist TSR2 |
| Tag Ridings | 288.5 yd | Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max |
The Triple Diamond trend: Low-spin tech still works
Callaway’s Triple Diamond variants (Paradym, Ai Smoke, Elyte) show up four times on this list. MyGolfSpy ranked the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond third overall and the best for distance in 2024, noting its versatility for mid to low swing speeds
The Elyte Triple Diamond earned top marks in low swing speed tests and was the best overall driver of 2025. It’s praised for its explosive distance and accurate performance. These Champions Tour pros aren’t swinging slowly but it’s clear that this low-spin adjustable design delivers for a wide range of players.
Big brands dominate
Titleist, PING and Callaway own the leaderboard. Our best driver of 2024 test ranked the PING G430 Max 10K as the best for accuracy and Titleist’s TSR2 among the best for forgiveness. These drivers offer the versatility Champions Tour players need, blending distance with shot-shaping control.
Ernie Els and the XXIO 13?
Ernie’s using the premium-priced XXIO 13, one of the most expensive drivers in the 2024 test. While the XXIO 13 is intended to be a premium option and suitable for amateur players, it didn’t perform as well as expected in our test.
The problem is that it was ranked in the lower half for total distance. It seems to work just fine for Els but he’s got some speed and height (and talent!) working for him.
Final thoughts
Adjustable low-spin drivers, such as Callaway’s Triple Diamond models, work well for PGA Tour and Champions Tour players alike. If you’re an amateur player who hasn’t tried a low-spin model in 2025, it may be worth a shot.
