What Is The Most Played Driver At The 2024 Presidents Cup?
Take a look at what drivers are in play this week as the International team lock horns with the USA on a demanding golf course


With just one victory to their name in Presidents Cup history, the International team will look to take advantage of home support as they go to battle with the star-studded US team at Royal Montreal golf club. The course is a tight, tree-lined parkland layout, emphasising the importance of accuracy from the tee and elite ball striking.
With how important driving the ball is likely to be this week It’s always fascinating to see which drivers the players have in the bag and so below, we've outlined what models dominate the driver count to help the players pick up some valuable points under pressure.
What Is The Most Played Driver Model On The International Team?

Despite all twelve drivers on the International team deriving from just four manufacturers, there was a wide array of models on display. The Ping G430 LST driver was by far the most favored on this team with four team members putting what is commonly known as one of the best drivers on the market this year in their bag.
Titleist is also heavily represented with four drivers in play but by way of four different models. These were the GT2, GT3, GT4 and an older TSi2 model in the bag of Sungjae Im.

Other models represented in the International team lineup included three Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond driver and the Srixon ZX5 LS MK II in Hideki Matsuyama’s bag as the 12th driver on the team.

What Is The Most Played Driver Model On The USA Team?

Like the International team, it’s the Ping G430 LST driver that claims the spoils of most used drivers on the USA Presidents Cup team. Titleist actually has more drivers in play on this team (five) with multiple different models. There were two Titleist GT2 drivers in play alongside various other new and older models.
Surprisingly there were no TaylorMade drivers in the international team's bags but there are two to be found within team USA. World number one, Scottie Scheffler flies the TaylorMade flag high with his Qi10 driver and Collin Morikawa has the Qi10 LS driver in the bag, despite experimenting with various TaylorMade heads throughout the 2024 season including the Qi10 Max driver.

Callaway is the fourth and final brand represented among the drivers in the bags of the USA team with Xander Schauffele using the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond and Sam Burns opting to stick with the older Paradym Triple Diamond ‘S’ model - a tour only offering that has an even smaller footprint than the compact standard triple diamond model.

What Is The Most Played Driver Overall?

Despite Titleist winning the overall driver count, it’s the Ping G430 LST model that is played by seven of the 24 competitors this week at the Presidents Cup. The LST is the lower spinning alternative to the standard G430 Max driver, known as one of the most forgiving drivers on the market.
The number of drivers in play from each manufacturer at the 2024 Presidents Cup
It’s fairly interesting to see that all of the players using a Ping driver in this event are in the lower spinning model, compared to the variety in setups of Titleist drivers in play. All of the Callaway models in play are also the brands lowest spinning model - the Triple Diamond with both Min Woo Lee and as mentioned above, Sam Burns in an even lower spinning model only offered on tour.
