Folks, the Ryder Cup is nearly here...
Although the tournament is technically an exhibition, it doesn’t exactly feel friendly, given the boom in popularity it has experienced over the past two decades. It has turned into a marketing machine — ticket sales through the roof, jam‐packed grandstands lining every hole, and merchandise flying off the shelves as fans of both teams try to grab a precious souvenir.
These souvenirs come in different shapes and sizes but the most popular are the ones that first come to your mind - hats, polo shirts and even golf shoes will be rolled out in the coming days (if they haven't already been) as golfers look to scratch that Ryder Cup itch they've been harnessing.
One more unique way of showing off your team colors is by equipping yourself with one of the best golf drivers on the market (and most patriotic). Ahead of the showdown at Bethpage Black, TaylorMade has released to limited edition 'Teams Edition' Qi35 drivers for both teams, sporting colorways dedicated to the stars and stripes of the US as well as the famous blue and gold of Team Europe.
Despite these being limited edition releases, they perform exactly like their regular counterparts released earlier this year. All the same tech remains - the two adjustable weights in the sole, the multi-material construction that includes chromium carbon, steel, aluminum, tungsten and titanium as well as a fourth-generation carbon twist face. All of this wrapped in a new patriotic makeover. The Qi35 therefore comes first to mind when we think of the best TaylorMade drivers.

One of the most popular drivers of 2025 gets a US-themed redesign ahead of the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. The stunning looks, impressive performance, and high levels of versatility make this a real standout product for 2025 and now an eye-catching option on the first tee thanks to this Ryder Cup makeover.
Although I don't think my team's colors look as good as the red and blue of the US, the European version of the Qi35 remains a sought-after collectors item. With its stunning futuristic aesthetic, strong technical design, and great versatility thanks to the weight ports on the sole, it’s no wonder this has become one of the most popular drivers of the year.
It isn’t just bold, patriotic colours that define each driver; there’s detailed imagery on the sole - a solid red map of the United States on the Team USA model and a blue map of Europe on the Team Europe version.
It isn't just the heads of the clubs getting a makeover - The Team USA model is equipped with a Fujikura Airspeeder 50 Team USA shaft and a black-and-red Golf Pride Z-Grip, while the Team Europe version features a Fujikura Airspeeder 50 Team Europe shaft paired with a black-and-gold Z-Grip. Even the headcovers are styled to match, showcasing stars and stripes for the U.S. or gold detailing for Europe.
If you go directly to TaylorMade, you can order one of these limited-edition drivers, but we advise acting quickly — they're almost certain to sell out. The Team Europe Qi35 has already sold out on TaylorMade’s UK site.
