It’s been quite a year on the PGA Tour, with a major competitor calling it quits, a new CEO and soon-to-be commissioner restructuring the schedule into two distinct halves, and Scottie Scheffler continuing to dominate.
LIV Golf lost its funding and some of it top players, while Tour CEO Brian Rolapp used his experience with the NFL to put a new focus on the top 120 players. Beginning in 2028, those players will compete against one another in a 23-event Championship Series.
One of the less important — but still interesting — statistics we track throughout the season, and have for more than 10 years, is the equipment brands used by PGA Tour winners.
This certainly isn’t an earth-shattering stat, nor should it determine what clubs you put in your bag. We prefer to think of it as useful ammunition for settling a 19th-hole wager.
Drivers
Everyone asks about driver usage, and as usual, Titleist led the way with 14 wins.

* Scotty Cameron: 9
* Odyssey: 6
* Ping: 6
* Bettinardi: 3
* LAB Golf: 1
Golf Balls
Any golf fan knows Titleist is the most-played golf ball brand on Tour, so it should come as little surprise that it also recorded the most victories—with a commanding 25 wins.
* Titleist: 25
* Bridgestone: 4
* TaylorMade: 4
* Srixon: 3
* Callaway: 2
A Few More Equipment Notes
For completeness:
- Titleist remains the most-played driver brand on the PGA Tour and has held that distinction for the past six seasons.
- Odyssey is the most-used putter brand overall on the PGA Tour.
- The TaylorMade Spider Tour X is the single most-played individual putter model.
None of these numbers guarantees lower scores, of course. But they do provide an interesting snapshot of which equipment brands found their way into the bags of PGA Tour winners this season — and maybe a little extra trivia for your next trip to the 19th hole.
