We analyzed every golfer who finished in the top 10 of a men’s major championship in 2025 and then looked at the driver they were using. Two brands dominated the field: Titleist and PING. Combined, they accounted for nearly 75 percent of all top-10 finishes in majors this season.
Here’s a closer look at the numbers.
Driver brand percentages (Major top 10s)
Among the golfers who recorded at least one top-10 finish in a major this year, here’s how the driver brands broke down:
Nearly three out of every four top-10 finishers in majors played a Titleist or PING driver in 2025.
The three most popular driver models
While there was a wide range of models in play, a few drivers stood out for their repeat appearances among top finishers.
- Titleist GT2 – 5 appearances
- Titleist GT3 – 4 appearances
- PING G440 LST – 3 appearances
The Titleist GT lineup also performed well in our 2025 driver testing. The PING G440 LST’s presence is strong as well. The other PING model golfers had was the PING G430 LST.
TaylorMade didn’t dominate the count (But they did win)
Only two golfers used TaylorMade drivers in 2025 major top-10s: Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. But those two names alone are enough. Scheffler had the most consistent and dominant major season of anyone, winning the PGA Championship and The Open and finishing a combined -32 in all four majors.
McIlroy won the career grand slam at the Masters using a TaylorMade driver.
TaylorMade drivers won three of the four majors this year. J.J. Spaun won the U.S. Open with a Titleist GT3.
Final thoughts
When you look at major performance in 2025, the takeaway is hard to ignore. If you’re gunning for a top-10 finish on golf’s biggest stages, Titleist and PING are leading the way.
