The Driver Every Male Major Winner From The Last 10 Years Has Used
We look back at the equipment that has helped drive players to Major Championship glory over the last decade


If you're going to win a Major Championship, you have to be happy with your driver. There can't be many players who have won one from underneath the trees and heavy rough, except perhaps a Tiger Woods in best recovery mode, or Bryson DeChambeau during his 'bomb, it find it' approach at the 2020 US Open.
Winning tournaments is always easier from the fairway, especially during Major Championships, when the rough can be extra thick and juicy and greens can only really be accessed from a decent lie on the short stuff.
In this article, we've listed every driver model used by every male Major champion over the last 10 years. Some are still recognised as the best golf drivers and are currently being played on tour; others remain in many a golf bag belonging to the amateur/club golfer.
Year | Masters | PGA Championship | US Open | The Open |
2024 | Scheffler, TaylorMade Qi10 | Schauffele, Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond | DeChambeau, Krank Formula Fire Pro | Schauffele, Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond |
2023 | Rahm, Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond | Koepka, Srixon ZX5 LS Mk II | Clark, Titleist TSi3 | Harman, Titleist TSi2 |
2022 | Scheffler, TaylorMade Stealth Plus | Thomas, Titleist TSi3 | Fitzpatrick, Titleist TSi3 | Smith, Titleist TSR2 |
2021 | Matsuyama, Srixon ZX5 | Mickelson, Callaway Epic Speed Triple Diamond | Rahm, Callaway Epic Speed Triple Diamond LS | Morikawa, TaylorMade SIM |
2020 | Johnson, TaylorMade SIM | Morikawa, TaylorMade SIM | DeChambeau, Cobra King Speedzone | Cancelled (Covid-19) |
2019 | Woods, TaylorMade M5 | Koepka, TaylorMade M5 | Woodland, Ping G410 Plus | Lowry, Srixon Z 585 |
2018 | Reed, Ping G400 LST | Koepka, TaylorMade M3 | Koepka, TaylorMade M3 | Molinari, TaylorMade M4 |
2017 | Garcia, TaylorMade M2 | Thomas, Titleist 917D2 | Koepka, TaylorMade M2 | Spieth, Titleist 915D2 |
2016 | Willett, Callaway XR 16 | Walker, Titleist 917D2 | Johnson, TaylorMade M1 | Stenson, Callaway XR 16 |
2015 | Spieth, Titleist 915D2 | Day, TaylorMade R15 | Spieth, Titleist 915D2 | Johnson, Titleist 913D2 |
In terms of manufacturers leading the way - at least if you were judging this solely on Major victories over the last 10 years - TaylorMade drivers have been played by 14 of the last 39 (2020 Open was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic) Major winners.
Titleist drivers, meanwhile, have been played by 11 of the last 39 male Major winners, followed by Callaway (seven), Srixon (three) and Ping (two).
No one has won more Major Championships in the last decade than Brooks Koepka.
Jordan Spieth won his three Major titles between 2015 and 2017 with the Titleist 915D2 driver
The American, who now plays on LIV Golf, played with TaylorMade drivers for four of his five Major victories, the one exception coming in 2023 when he had the Srixon ZX5 LS Mk II in the bag en route to winning the PGA Championship.
