What golf balls did the leading players at The Masters 2025 play with? We kept track so you didn’t have to!
Well, The Masters 2025 will live long in the memory – words cannot do it justice. History, emotion, and total drama – it had it all. En route to Rory winning his first green jacket it felt he won it 5 times and lost it 4!
At the end, Rory did it via a play off and by winning the green jacket completed the grand slam of golf – all with his TaylorMade TP5 golf ball! But what other balls did the top 5 have in play and how did it change over the week?

What balls did the top five players tee up at the Masters 2025? Below shows what the final five were teeing up and how it changed throughout the week. Titleist was the dominant ball throughout but it was TaylorMade that finished on top courtesy of Rory McIlroy
Top 5 Golf Balls Used At The Masters 2025
1) Rory McIlroy – TaylorMade TP5
Rory definitely put his TaylorMade TP5 golf ball through the wringer – double bogeys, birdies, eagles and trips to the water! But in the end he birdied the play off hole to win.
Check out what else is in Rory’s bag. Read the NCG TP5 review for more info.
2) Justin Rose – Titleist 2025 Pro V1x
Justin Rose followed his 3rd round 75 with the lowest final round – hitting his Titleist Pro V1x sixty six times, which included 10 birdies.
Ultimately he came up short in the play off but it was more a case of Rory winning the play off than Justin losing it.
He recently switched to the Titleist Pro V1x as he felt it provided more control and better trajectory.

3) Patrick Reed – Titleist Pro V1x+ prototype
Some of you might be surprised Patrick Reed finished 3rd – mainly because he hardly featured on the TV coverage. But after 4 days he only finished 2 shots behind Rory and Justin.

His ball of choice currently is the Titleist Pro V1x+ prototype golf ball, having previously used the Pro V1. This golf ball has been specifically designed for a bit more spin for tour pros.
4) Scottie Scheffler – Titleist Pro V1
Amazing to think Scottie Scheffler had a somewhat indifferent Masters 2025 tournament yet he hit his Titleist Pro V1 golf ball just 3 more times than Rory McIlroy.
His ball of choice is the Titleist Pro V1 prior gen model – currently a bit cheaper than the 2025 iteration!
=5) Bryson DeChambeau – Titleist 2025 Pro V1x
It is fair to say that Bryson faded away somewhat on the final day. Though he started well and briefly led The Masters he struggled with his irons and putter for most of the day and so had to settle with a joint 5th spot.
Bryson has switched to playing the Titleist 2025 Pro V1x after using the Pro V1x Left Dash to take him to US Open victory in 2024.

=5) SungJae Im – Titleist 2025 Pro V1x
Similar to Patrick Reed SungJae went unnoticed but finished just four shots back from Rory McIlroy.
He was the only top 5 player who did not feature in the top 5 on any of the previous three days.
His choice of ball is also the Titleist 2025 Pro V1x.

For most professional golfers, the Titleist Pro V1 remains the first choice of golf ball. After hitting a few balls it wasn’t hard to see why. Titleist have improved the performance of the 2025 model from the old model.
Longer distances off tee have been provided from a lower spin rate. Being able to hit the ball further is always going to be a big selling pointer most club golfers and this doesn’t disappoint in that department. To accompany the increased distances a soft feel is also promoted for golfer’s short game.
