These were the drivers used by the past 10 Masters champions

Augusta National famously isn't a course that rewards out and out dominance with the driver, with tight fairways and technical play the key to victory at Golf's most iconic major.

Even so, with Masters champions enshrined forever as immortals of the sport, interest always rests with exactly what clubs these incredible players used to capture victory in the sport's most prestigious event.

The last 10 years have seen one brand in particular dominating proceedings at Augusta's hallowed tee boxes, with TaylorMade drivers sitting in the bags of 6 out of the last 10 Masters winners. 

Conversely, despite the brand making up more than half of the tour's current drivers, Titleist's drivers haven't had a single win at Augusta in the last decade.

As such, in celebration of Masters week getting underway, GolfMagic decided to look back at the drivers that have helped the last 10 Masters champions on their way to a green jacket.

2025: TaylorMade Qi10

Used by Rory McIlroy

Making it two wins in a row for the Qi10 at Augusta, Rory McIlroy's historic Grand Slam triumph at last year's Masters arguably came in spite of his performance with the driver rather than because of it. He finished 50th in driving accuracy across the tournament, yet the Qi10's distance undoubtedly helped him as he finished second in driving distance for the weekend.

2024: TaylorMade Qi10

Used by Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler enjoys using the Qi10 so much he has it in the bag a full two years on from winning his second green jacket, and we can't say we blame him. Indeed, despite the success of the Qi4D, it looks as if Scheffler will once again have the Qi10 in the bag as he bids for a third title in five years this weekend.

2023: Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond

Used by Jon Rahm

Longtime Callaway ambassador Jon Rahm used his Paradaym Triple Diamond driver to great effect en route to his win in 2023, finishing fourth overall in driving accuracy and proving that precision rather than power is truly the best way to conquer the tall trees and tight fairways of Augusta National. 

2022: TaylorMade Stealth Plus 

Used by Scottie Scheffler

The major victory that kicked off a reign of dominance that has lasted to this day, the 2022 Masters was the first time Scheffler and longtime equipment sponsor TaylorMade combined to form a major-winning duo. Scheffler would finish the tournament fifth in total driving with his low-spin Stealth Plus driver in hand.

2021: Srixon ZX5

Used by Hideki Matsuyama

Matsuyama became Augusta's first Japanese champion with some suitably Japanese equipment at his disposal. The Srixon ZX5 he used to win the Green Jacket that year gave Srixon metalwoods at the game's very highest level, and indeed the brand's drivers haven't won a major since.

2020: TaylorMade SIM

Used by Dustin Johnson

2020's Masters saw Dustin Johnson at the very peak of his powers, setting new records for distance and speed on the golf course while establishing himself as easily the most dominant player on tour that year. His TaylorMade SIM driver was instrumental in what felt like an inevitable Masters win that year.

2019: TaylorMade M5

Used by Tiger Woods

Tiger's momentous return Masters win came shortly after his transition out of Nike equipment and into TaylorMade, his M5 driver dressed fittingly in the Big Cat's famed Sunday red.

2018: Ping G400 LST

Used by Patrick Reed

Patrick Reed's masters win came with the American playing one of the most eclectic bags ever put together by an eventual champion, comprising Nike fairway woods, Titleist and Callaway irons, Vokey wedges and a PING driver – in this case the enduringly popular G400 LST model.

2017: TaylorMade M2

Used by Sergio Garcia

One of TaylorMade's most beloved driver models ever, the M2 was a firm favourite among tour players even compared to the more adjustable M1 released in the same line-up. Rory McIlroy has gone on record saying he wishes he could still use his, and indeed the M2 triumphed at Augusta in the hands of eventual champion Sergio Garcia. 

2016: Callaway XR 16

Used by Danny Willett

Designed in collaboration with the aerodynamic engineers at Boeing, Callaway's XR driver has proven such a popular blueprint for the brand that it remains in circulation as the basis for the brand's entry-level range to this day. Danny Willett used his XR 16 en route to his shock win at Augusta in 2016.
