What clubs do the PGA Tour’s best drivers put their faith in?

Our gear expert ran the rule over the Strokes Gained: Off the Tee stats to see who the best drivers are and what they use
 

Best drivers on the PGA Tour: 5-2

5. Jon Rahm

The big guns are starting to show up now. Rahm’s 118mph of clubhead speed saw his average driving distance on tour last season reach 305.6 yards

What he uses: Rahm had the TaylorMade M5 driver in play last season but has now switched to the TaylorMade SIM driver.

4. Dustin Johnson

Known for his prowess off the tee it is no surprise to see DJ near the top of this list. His longest drive on tour last season was a jaw-dropping 404 yards. Yes, FOUR hundred and four. Absurd.

What he uses: Johnson has switched from the TaylorMade M6 to the TaylorMade SIM Max driver. He opts to use a 10.5° head with the Fujikura Ventus 6X shaft.

3. Bubba Watson

Off the tee Bubba gained three quarters of a shot a round over the field average last year. That accounts to over 37 fewer shots over the year.

What he uses: The two-time Masters champion chooses to game the Ping G410 Plus driver with a 9° head and his custom pink Grafalloy Bi-Matrix-X shaft.

2. Jhonattan Vegas

best drivers in golf

Vegas has taken a massive leap up the ranking, improving from 46th to 2nd last season which was partly down to a 3mph gain in clubhead speed.

What he uses: A former Nike staffer Vegas plays Mizuno irons but isn’t contracted for a full bag so chooses to game the TaylorMade M6 driver.

I’m sure you’ve figured out who’s in at No 1. Head to the next page to see if you’re right…
