The World’s Top 10 Golfers All Use Clubs From These Two Brands (Do You?)

Already have a guess which two brands dominate the bags of the world’s top golfers? If you said Titleist and TaylorMade, you’re right. When we looked across every club in the bags of the top 10 players in the world, no other brand came close in terms of representation.

Who has what in their bag?

Here’s a look at the presence of Titleist and TaylorMade golf clubs in the golf bags of the top 10 players in the world as of March 2025. Titleist and TaylorMade are tied with seven out of those 10 players carrying at least one of their clubs.

Golfer	Titleist	TaylorMade
Scottie Scheffler	✅ (Wedges)	✅ (Driver, 3W, Irons, Putter)
Rory McIlroy	❌	✅ (Full bag)
Xander Schauffele	✅ (Wedges)	❌
Collin Morikawa	❌	✅ (Full bag)
Ludvig Åberg	✅ (Driver, Irons, Wedges)	✅ (3W, 7W)
Hideki Matsuyama	❌	✅ (3W)
Russell Henley	✅ (Driver, Irons, Wedges, Putter)	❌
Viktor Hovland	✅ (Driving Iron)	✅ (3W)
Justin Thomas	✅ (Driver, Irons, Wedges, Putter)	❌
Tommy Fleetwood	✅ (60° Wedge)	✅ (Driver, Woods, Irons, 52° Wedge, Putter)

TaylorMade dominates in the driver and woods category

Some of the biggest players in the game trust TaylorMade drivers and fairway woods. Of the top five, only Xander Schauffele is not using a TaylorMade driver or wood. Interestingly, players like Aberg have chosen to hold on to older TaylorMade Stealth 2 models because of the consistent performance.

While we have yet to finish testing fairway woods, in the 2025 driver test for amateur players, the Titleist drivers performed much better than the new TaylorMade Qi35 drivers. We’ve even seen some professionals like Rory McIlroy move back to the Qi10 after switching to the Qi35.

Titleist owns the wedge category

The Titleist Vokey wedges are seen in seven of these 10 players’ bags. Even Tommy Fleetwood, who is not otherwise a Titleist guy, has a 60-degree Vokey in his bag.

Mixing and matching happens even at the top

The best players in the world aren’t blindly loyal to one brand and that’s something amateur golfers can learn from. Even those who stick with one manufacturer for most of their bag still test and mix in other clubs to find the best performance.

Final thoughts

Some of these players have equipment contracts, which definitely plays a role in what’s in the bag. But even with that in mind, it’s telling to see which brands consistently show up at the top.

Are you a Titleist or TaylorMade player? When we broke down the bags of the top 10 players in the world, nearly 40 percent of the clubs were from TaylorMade and 35 percent from Titleist. Meanwhile, Callaway and PING made up less than eight percent each. These players dial in their club selection through extensive fitting and performance testing. You should do the same.
