The Golf Ball OWGR: What the Top 10 Pros Are Playing Now

Subject to change, of course, as the Official World Golf Ranking does.

Ryan Barath

It doesn't matter if we're talking about the best players in the world or your average weekend golfer, there is only one piece of gear they use on every shot: the golf ball.

The golf ball has to do two things. It has to provide ball speed and aerodynamic stability to travel as far as possible off the tee, while a complex layering system is used to generate spin and control on approach shots and around the green.

With so many options on the market—and because a properly fitting golf ball is a key performance variable—these are the golf balls used by the top ten players in the world, based on the Official World Golf Rankings.
