Three men’s races have been played so far this season and one brand of driver has won them all.
TaylorMade.
That sounds like complete dominance, but the sheer number of PGA Tour winners tells a slightly different story. TaylorMade has owned the biggest weeks of the year. Has not owned the season from start to finish.
The TaylorMade Qi4D was already ours best overall driver in testing so it’s not surprising to see him perform well on Tour. However, there is a difference between testing well and earning degrees. For now, TaylorMade has done both.
TaylorMade executives have won every major so far
Here are the top three winning driver configurations so far:
- Rory McIlroy, Masters: TaylorMade Qi4D, 8 degrees, Fujikura Ventus Black 6X
- Aaron Rai, PGA Championship: TaylorMade M6, 9 degrees, Aldila Synergy Blue 70 TX
- Wyndham Clark, US Open: TaylorMade Qi4D, 10.5 degrees, Project X Titan Yellow 60 TX
The most interesting part is that this is not just a Qi4D story.
Rory and Clark won with TaylorMade’s current driver model. Rai won the PGA Championship with a TaylorMade M6, a driver that is several generations old.
It’s not just “TaylorMade’s newest driver is winning.” It’s the leaders of TaylorMade, across different generations and different player profiles, who show up at the biggest moments of the year.
Woods from TaylorMade are popping up everywhere
Driver sweep in the majors is the headline, but TaylorMade’s presence at the top of the bag goes beyond the driver.
Of the 26 winning bags we’ve tracked so far, 20 included at least one fairway wood from TaylorMade.
Many players on this track don’t use TaylorMade drivers, but still have a TaylorMade club on the top of the bag. TaylorMade fairway woods are very popular on Tour. After me tested the Stealth 2 that many Tour players still carryI never took it out of the bag.
The title holder has the most driver earnings overall
TaylorMade has won all three so far, but doesn’t have the most driver wins in 2026. Titleist does.
Based on the 26 winning purses we tracked, here’s the driver’s brand count:
- Title: 10 wins
- TaylorMade: 7 wins
- PING: 4 wins
- Srixon: 2 wins
- Callaway: 2 wins
- COBRA: 1 win
The title has the volume. TaylorMade has degrees.
Final thoughts
TaylorMade has had a strong first half of the year and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the final major part of the year. Betting on a TaylorMade Open Championship win?
