What Is The Most Popular Driver At The Ryder Cup?

The Ryder Cup in the middle with Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Robert MacIntyre and Jon Rahm around it.

Bethpage Black is the host venue for the Ryder Cup in 2025 and, being on American soil, it's set to be a thrilling three-day spectacle.

The course is notoriously tough off the tee, with the thick rough surrounding the fairways emphasizing the fact that you need to find the short grass with the driver.

As 24 of the best from the USA and Europe make their way to New York, it's imperative they have their drivers in shape for the showdown.

Throughout 2025, we have seen numerous driver models used to help players pick up titles on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. At the Ryder Cup, it's set to be a similar story, with a total of 16 different driver heads being used among the 24 man field...

Like we saw at the Walker Cup, Titleist is the most popular brand but, interestingly, a total of four different models are in play at Bethpage Black. Also interesting is the fact that 13 of the 24 drivers are not current product from the manufacturers' 2025 ranges. Check out the full details below...

After Titleist, Callaway is the next most used brand, with three different heads featuring. The 2025 Elyte Triple Diamond is used by Jon Rahm, while four Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond drivers are in play. Sam Burns is still using the original Paradym Triple Diamond S, which was released at the start of 2023.

TaylorMade and Ping are used by four players apiece. Interestingly, TaylorMade has four different models in play and these are the Qi35 Dot used by Tommy Fleetwood, the Qi10 Dot used by Scottie Scheffler, the standard Qi10 used by Rory McIlroy and the Qi10 LS used by Collin Morikawa.

Ping, meanwhile, has the G425 LST, G430 LST and G430 Max 10K at the Ryder Cup, but none from its most recent release, the G440. Viktor Hovland continues to use the G425 LST driver, which was released back in 2021.

Finally, Srixon and Krank are used by one player each, with Shane Lowry recently switching to the Srixon ZXi LS+ driver at the Amgen Irish Open. Bryson DeChambeau, meanwhile, has used the Krank Formula Fire LD since 2023, carding a 58 the first weekend he put it into tournament play.
