Prior to this week’s Wyndham Championship, we went down the FedEx Cup standings and recorded which driver model every player was using.
Of the 239 players in the standings, there was only driver that we were unable to confirm the exact model for.
However, given that we have been able to establish the exact model for 238 players on the PGA Tour, we can reveal what the most popular drivers currently are.
Any ideas?
Before the big reveal, here are the results of the brand count (all models per brand).
