Is One Brand Dominating PGA Tour Wins In 2025?

We’ve had a few repeat winners on the PGA Tour this year—Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Sepp Straka and now Ben Griffin. While we know each golfer has their individual bag of tricks, we wanted to take a deeper look to see if one particular brand of golf clubs stands out as the best on Tour for this group of winners. What we found was a mix of familiar favorites, a few surprises and some clear patterns that could be worth paying attention to as an amateur player.

Drivers: Titleist leads but TaylorMade and PING are close

Among the 2025 PGA Tour winners, Titleist drivers were used in seven wins, making it the most-used brand so far. TaylorMade drivers were right behind with six and PING drivers accounted for five—including Griffin’s two wins and Viktor Hovland’s win with the older G425 LST.

Fairway woods: TaylorMade is the go-to

TaylorMade fairway woods showed up in at least 12 of the 25 winning bags, often in both the 3-wood and 5-wood slots. TaylorMade’s strong presence in the fairway wood category was largely due to Scheffler and McIlroy (both TaylorMade players) having two wins each.

However, other players like Nick Taylor and Ben Griffin also play the TaylorMade fairway woods.

Hybrids and utility irons

Titleist’s U505 utility iron appeared in at least five winning bags including Joe Highsmith, Brian Harman, and Russell Henley. Callaway’s Apex UW was also popular among Callaway staffers like Min Woo Lee and Straka.

Many pros are skipping traditional hybrids and opting for driving irons like the U505 or Apex UW. If you’re not confident with your long irons or hybrids, a utility iron might be your best bet.

Irons: Titleist and TaylorMade go head-to-head

Titleist irons were used in at least 10 wins with the T100 being the most common model. TaylorMade irons (including Rory’s Rors Proto and Scottie’s P7TW) were used in six wins. Mizuno made its mark through Griffin’s two wins.

Wedges: Vokey is still the king

Titleist Vokey wedges (SM9 and SM10) appeared in at least 12 of the 23 winning bags, more than any other wedge brand by a wide margin. Callaway Jaws Raw was a distant second, appearing mostly with their staff players.

Tour players trust the Vokey wedges around the greens.

Putters: Scotty Cameron is still everywhere

If you want to know why you hear so much about Scotty Cameron, it could have a lot to do with their Tour presence. Scotty Cameron putters were in the bags of at least 10 winners, spanning multiple models (Phantom X 5.5, Newport 2, Tour Rat). Odyssey and PING followed behind with a few appearances each.

Golf balls: Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x dominate

Of all the categories, this one is the most lopsided. Twenty of the 23 winners used the Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x. The only notable exceptions were players using TaylorMade (TP5/TP5x), Srixon (Z-Star XV) or Callaway (Chrome Soft X).

If you want to win on the PGA Tour, having a Pro V1 or Pro V1x in the bag is a step in the right direction.

Final thoughts

While no single brand dominates across the board, Titleist stands out overall. Titleist led for drivers, irons, wedges, putters and golf balls. TaylorMade and PING are right there in the mix with Callaway showing strength in hybrid and wedge options for their staffers.
