We've compiled a complete list of every driver used by a PGA Tour winner in 2025, along with a key driving stat from that week
As the 2025 PGA Tour regular season and the FedEx Cup Playoffs have wrapped up and we're into the Fall Finish, it's fun to look back at our annual tracking of every driver used by a winner during the course of the tour year. It's a compelling endeavor as it provides an interesting way to review the year while also offering a closer look at the best technology used on tour. With Steven Fisk's win at the Sanderson Farms Championship, Mizuno recorded its first victory on the season. Titleist has 12 in 2025, the most of any manufacturer. Next is TaylorMade, which has 11 wins, followed by Ping with 10, Callaway with five and Srixon with three wins. We'll continue through the end of FedEx Fall season to add to the list and offer up the winning club and some interesting stats surrounding the victory.
Steven Fisk, Sanderson Farms Championship
Jonathan Bachman
Driver: Mizuno ST-Z 230 (Mitsubishi Kuro Kage White XD 70 TX), 9.5 degrees
Key driving stat: To win in his 26th career PGA Tour start, this rookie had a great week off the tee, ranking fifth in strokes gained/off the tee (3.939). He was fifth for the week in driving distance and T-11 in fairways hit.

Scottie Scheffler, Procore Championship
Jed Jacobsohn
Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 (Fujikura Ventus Black 7X), 8 degrees
Key driving stat: How are you going to beat Scottie Scheffler when he's always dominating strokes gained/off the tee? You probably aren't. At Napa, Scheffler was second for the week in the category (4.614). He was third in driving distance on all holes (304 yards) and fifth in fairways hit (34 of 56).
Save for laterTaylorMadeQi10$600|Golf Galaxy 5.0 GD SCOREGD HOT LIST SCOREHot List Gold$600Among the improvements here—beyond better overall stability on mis-hits on the heel and toe and high and low—is the increased use of carbon composite in the crown. Now stretching almost seamlessly to the top of the face, the crown saves weight to help increase stability on off-center hits and to lower the center of gravity for reduced spin and better energy transfer. The structure of the channel in the sole now gives more at impact to deliver extra flex to the face for faster ball speed, particularly on lower hits on the face.

The worst Scheffler ranked in any single round was fifth. For the week he was second in distance (326.4 yards on measured holes) and T-3 in accuracy (41 of 56 fairways hit).

Key driving stat: En route to his second PGA Tour title, Gotterup finished seventh for the week in strokes gained/off the tee (8.060), gaining strokes in every round. As has been the case throughout the season, distance off the tee was his biggest weapon, as he ranked third in average yardage off the tee with all drives (318.2 yards).

Save for laterPingG430 LST$550|Golf Galaxy 5.0 GD SCOREGD HOT LIST SCOREHot List Gold$550The more compact size (440 cubic centimeters) and slightly more forward center of gravity should resonate with high-swing-speed players who are seeking extra control and low spin. A carbon-composite section in the back half of the crown helps to lower the CG. It also wraps around the perimeter to save weight. The lowest launching model in the G430 family uses a face design that’s thinner to provide additional ball speed. The face also curves less at the bottom so that those low-face impacts launch with more energy and less spin.

It uses a distinct multi-thickness face, designed through the use of artificial intelligence, that focuses on enhancing performance on center hits. Slightly heavier than the standard models, it aims to produce a neutral ball flight. The largely carbon-composite crown and sole save weight to make room for interchangeable weights in the front and rear of the sole. Callaway says this version improves downrange dispersion over last year’s Paradym TD by 34 percent.

Save for laterSrixonZX5 LS Mk II$500|Golf Galaxy 4.5 GD SCOREGD HOT LIST SCOREHot List Gold$500This model combines the large, confidence-inspiring shape of the standard ZX5 with the low-forward center of gravity seen on the ZX7. An eight-gram weight positioned forward in the sole helps to make this the lowest spinning of the three models. Its neutral ball flight and mid- to high-launch angle caters to more aggressive swingers looking to max out distance. With the weight forward in the sole, expect a little less forgiveness on off-center hits compared to the standard ZX5 but somewhat more than the ZX7.
