The drivers used by the top-10 most accurate players on the PGA Tour
What drivers do the PGA Tour’s most accurate golfers use to find the short grass? Now that the 2017-2018 PGA Tour season is behind us, we can do a thorough examination.
First, here’s a tally of what the top 10 in driving accuracy on Tour are using by driver manufacturer.
- Callaway: 5
- PXG: 1
- TaylorMade: 4
But this is GolfWRX, so of course you want to know more. Below is a breakdown of the driving-distance leaders on the PGA Tour in 2017-2018, the available specifics of their drivers, shafts and how often their tee shots found the fairway.

*Stenson, as we know, tees off with his beloved 13-degree Callaway Diablo Octane Tour 3-wood with a Graffaloy Blue shaft the vast majority of the time.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
From the listing: “Some great items here today, time to thin out and make room for next set of gear. All prices include shipping.
LAB DF3 Purple 33.5” 68° lie with TPT – $725. LAB Masters release DF3 cover – $150.”

Need to see the list for the 10 worst as comparison. Also breakdown of all drivers on tour. Then the stats will be approaching meaningful

If I didn’t know better I’d think this was a list from 2017. All the TM guys are using older models. Isn’t twist face supposed to be an “accuracy” technology? Imagine how straight they’d be with the new tech! Hopefully the sarcasm is coming through.

Would like to see a more useful field of pros- top in combined driving proficiency (length and distance). Also, I agree that driver length is a very useful piece of information since most PGA players use a SHORTER than factory length shaft.

EVERY player has a different shaft and a different head. So, this seems like it argues for getting custom fit as opposed to favoring any product.
Second, since only 1% of us have a 110-130 MPH swing speed, the makes and models featured are even more irrelevant.
Now you could have made these points and others that would have made this article of some value, but you didn’t.

10 drivers, each with a different shaft. This article is as useful as telling us the shoe size and width of the shoes worn by each player.
Stop whining
Oct 18, 2018 at 3:19 am
Stop with the shoe size analogy. You used that on the longest drivers article. Maybe go with hat size next time?

Hey, it works!

Interesting statistics. But not everyone in the amateur world have a perfect swing like these guys. I would like read what shafts are used by the average amateur.
Jim

How many wins from these guys vs. the top 10 longest hitters?
GMR
Oct 17, 2018 at 4:41 am
Interesting to note that not a single TwistFace on that list
Rob

Exactly what I noticed!

5/10 Top Money earners for last season were TwistFace players

Its the Indian not the arrow
CrashTestDummy

It’s the Indian with a well fitted arrow.
Steve

If you’ve got swing flaws, fitting doesn’t help.

False

as jackie burke would say. if a guy doesn’t have a clue, keep him in the dark. at the edge of the driving range. just keep him there clueless and hitting it crooked.

This isn’t an article about golf balls (i.e. the Arrow), this is about drivers which would correspond to the bow in that oft repeated, flawed analogy.

Agree, but it’s interesting to see their club choice and loft.
Ol' Gaffer

I bet that the 10 most INaccurate players also play the same or similar drivers. If you wanna be more accurate don’t carry a low loft driver… get a BANG 12-14-16º driver and the added loft will defeat your slice and increase your draw height. I play a Ping G2 400cc, 15.5º driver and have a 200-220 yard carry.
kapooow

if you don’t got a 275 yard driver carry you shud not be on this forum

3-wood is no way near the same as driver for Stenson…Stenson is actually a horrible driver of the tee with driver…
Craig
Oct 16, 2018 at 4:38 pm
wow what happened to twist face helping accuracy!!!
Tiger Noods
Oct 16, 2018 at 3:43 pm
Interesting to see what the short-knockers use. I’ll stick to Ping or TM, thanks.
Brad
Oct 16, 2018 at 3:54 pm
Stenson averages 291 yards off the tee, and he almost always uses his 3 wood. Yeah, he’s a real short-knocker…
Kev
Oct 16, 2018 at 2:11 pm
More importantly; what’s the shaft length of these drivers?
Alfredo Smith
Oct 16, 2018 at 3:20 pm
Excellant point!!
Tommy
Oct 16, 2018 at 1:56 pm
Maybe this article should have been titled, “The drivers used by the PGA Tour’s shortest hitters”. The reason most of these guys are on this list is that they don’t hit it very far by Tour standards. Just sayin’

I thought Stenson finally got rid of the Octane 3 wood?
Jim
Oct 16, 2018 at 1:15 pm
Stenson tried to each year with a new 3W that is callaway’s current lineup but inevitably switchs back to the Octane. I read somewhere it is because he delofts the club at impact the extra loft from the 3w helps him. Surprised he never got into those higher lofted mini drivers.

The oem’s want these guys on latest equipment. TMag is the worst and why every two years Sergio’s is a whole new bag. Because many of these Pros are supposed to be playing and promoting certain nrands or lines. Keagan for years played a Cleveland Classic (TI of course). But in any WITB articles it was always a Srixon driver and head cover. He literally carried the Srixon driver with him just in case there was photos. I am suprised the OEM’s don’t get back into disguising the clubs and shafts again. But maybe there is issues with this, who knows.
