Imagine golf with its own ‘drivers’ championships’ – an F1-style, season-long competition contested by the game’s biggest manufacturers.
Maybe we’re opening a can of worms. What we do know is that if there was a league for most wins by a driver, two models are currently some distance ahead of the rest.
At the time of writing – after Kevin Yu’s win at the Sanderson Farm’s Championship – it’s the TaylorMade Qi10 driver out in the lead with eight victories, six of which were recorded by World No.1 Scottie Scheffler.

It could be argued that Titliest should be joint-top. The Titleist TSR3 has produced six victories, and its predecessor, the TSi3, another two. The Titleist TSR2, meanwhile, also has two victories to its name, and the Titleist GT3, which replaced the TSR3 in August, already has one.
If we were to add them all up and simply group them under ‘Titleist models’ that would make 11. Where do you draw the line, though? What about Aaron Rai’s TaylorMade M6 that helped him to win the Wyndham Championship and Chris Gotterup’s TaylorMade SIM2 that he played en route to winning the Myrtle Beach Classic?
Let’s stick to the original question: which driver has the most PGA Tour wins this season? If you’re talking about one specific model and you ignore the equivalent model from a previous generation, as well any replacement model, the answer is the TaylorMade Qi10. This does not include the Tour Championship (Collin Morikawa actually posted a lower 72-hole total in the season-finale).
