Winning in golf is hard, and it's even harder on the PGA TOUR, which is why pros are always looking for ways to gain an edge from the tee to the green. Now, the old saying used to be that you would drive for show and putt for dough (we're talking money here, not pizza), but in today's modern game, driving is a key factor in success, and these are the drivers being used by the winners so far on Tour in 2026.

Chris Gotterup is one of the best drivers of the ball in golf, and that driving has already helped him earn two victories so far in 2026. Chris uses a Ping G440 LST (Low Spin Technology), which offers a great balance of stability with low spin performance—perfect for someone who averages over 124mph of club head speed!!

Another season and another Scottie win with his faithful TaylorMade Qi10 driver. Even though he upgraded and tested the Qi4D during the silly-season, when the real money and FedEx Cup points were on the line he went back to his Qi10.
To be fair, I don't blame the guy. When it works it works, and for Scottie the Qi10 just works!

Similar to Scottie, Justin Rose is using an older model from 2024, which is even more interesting because he switched into it more than halfway through the 2025 season. As far as his win at Torrey Pines, Justin beat a full field and marched to victory after shooting a first-round 62 on the Torrey Pines North course.
From there is was pretty smooth sailing on the South Course with rounds of 65, 68, and 70 on Sunday to beat Pierceson Coody, Si Woo Kim and Ryo Hisatsune by 7-shots.

Although it took an extra playoff hole against Hideki Matsuyama, Chris Gotterup became the first two-time winner on the PGA Tour in 2026 at the WM Phoenix after smashing a nearly 350 yard driver down the 18th at TPC Scottsdale and then draining a bomb for birdie. Looks like he's keeping the Ping G440 LST in the bag for now.

Through wind and rain, Collin Morikawa controlled his golf ball marvelously around Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill to take home the win at the AT&T Pebble Beach ProAm. One way he did that was by managing spin off the tee and on approach, and as far as off the tee is concerned, he did it with a TaylorMade Qi4D LS.

On a course that was playing soft, distance and accuracy was key, and Jacob Bridgeman took advantage off the tee with his TaylorMade Qi35 LS. Thanks to his great driving he was able to convey that into great approach play and ranked first amongst the field at Riviera.

In blustery conditions around PGA National, Nico Echavarria came from behind to beat Shane Lowry and earn himself an invitation to the Masters. On a tough driving course, his prototype Srixon Zxi LS helped to manages spin, which is a key factor when playing in the wind.
