Prior to this week's Wyndham Championship, we went down the FedEx Cup standings and recorded which driver model every player was using.
Of the 239 players in the standings, there was only driver that we were unable to confirm the exact model for.
However, given that we have been able to establish the exact model for 238 players on the PGA Tour, we can reveal what the most popular drivers currently are.
Any ideas?
Before the big reveal, here are the results of the brand count (all models per brand).

It's clear that lots of players have yet to switch to the very latest model, which is not unusual, with pros often reluctant to change to a new product, particularly if they are driving the ball well.
For example, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and World No.2 Rory McIlroy, both play with a TaylorMade Qi10 driver, not the newer TaylorMade Qi35.
At the top of the table, we have three standout models: the Titleist GT3, Titleist GT2 and Ping G440 LST.
The GT3 is the most adjustable in the GT range, with a new weight track that sits much closer to the face than on its predecessor the TSR3.
Meanwhile, the GT2 is probably the most user-friendly member of the family, offering the greatest MOI in the 2025 Titleist line-up.
With Ping, you can see there are currently 17 players who are choosing to stick with the previous model, the Ping G430 LST.
This model was hugely successful on global professional tours in 2024, and our gear expert, Joe Ferguson, believes that it was probably the most-played driver by non-contracted tour professionals last year - and by some distance, too.
