Three men’s majors have been played so far this season and one driver brand has won them all.
TaylorMade.
That sounds like complete dominance but the full PGA Tour winner count tells a slightly different story. TaylorMade has owned the biggest weeks of the year. It has not owned the season from start to finish.
The TaylorMade Qi4D was already our best overall driver in testing so it’s not exactly surprising to see it performing well on Tour. Still, there’s a difference between testing well and winning majors. Right now, TaylorMade has done both.
TaylorMade drivers have won every major so far
Here are the three major-winning driver setups so far:
- Rory McIlroy, Masters: TaylorMade Qi4D, 8 degrees, Fujikura Ventus Black 6X
- Aaron Rai, PGA Championship: TaylorMade M6, 9 degrees, Aldila Synergy Blue 70 TX
- Wyndham Clark, U.S. Open: TaylorMade Qi4D, 10.5 degrees, Project X Titan Yellow 60 TX
The most interesting part is that this is not just a Qi4D story.
Rory and Clark won with TaylorMade’s current driver model. Rai won the PGA Championship with a TaylorMade M6, a driver that is several generations old.
It’s not just “the newest TaylorMade driver is winning.” It’s TaylorMade drivers, across different generations and different player profiles, showing up in the biggest moments of the year.
TaylorMade fairway woods are showing up everywhere
The driver sweep in the majors is the headline but TaylorMade’s presence at the top of the bag goes beyond the driver.
In the 26 winning bags we’ve tracked so far, 20 included at least one TaylorMade fairway wood.
Plenty of players in this tracker are not using TaylorMade drivers but still have a TaylorMade club in the top end of the bag. The TaylorMade fairway woods are very popular on Tour. After I tested the Stealth 2 that many Tour players still carry, I never took it out of my bag.
Titleist has the most driver wins overall
TaylorMade has won all three majors so far but it does not have the most total driver wins of 2026. Titleist does.
Based on the 26 winning bags we’ve tracked, here’s the driver-brand count:
- Titleist: 10 wins
- TaylorMade: 7 wins
- PING: 4 wins
- Srixon: 2 wins
- Callaway: 2 wins
- COBRA: 1 win
Titleist has the volume. TaylorMade has the majors.
Final thoughts
TaylorMade has had a strong first half of the year and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the last major of the year. Are you betting on a TaylorMade win at the Open Championship?

Really meaningless unless you consider the number of Titleist and Taylormade drivers on tour, the rankings of the players who use them, and the competition in each tournament. This is just lazy and meaningless numbers.
