If you're going to win a Major Championship, you have to be happy with your driver. There can't be many players who have won one from underneath the trees and heavy rough, except perhaps a Tiger Woods in best recovery mode, or Bryson DeChambeau during his 'bomb, it find it' approach at the 2020 US Open.

Winning tournaments is always easier from the fairway, especially during Major Championships, when the rough can be extra thick and juicy and greens can only really be accessed from a decent lie on the short stuff.

In this article, we've listed every driver model used by every male Major champion over the last 10 years. Some are still recognised as the best golf drivers and are currently being played on tour; others remain in many a golf bag belonging to the amateur/club golfer.

In terms of manufacturers leading the way - at least if you were judging this solely on Major victories over the last 10 years - TaylorMade drivers have been played by 14 of the last 39 (2020 Open was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic) Major winners.

Titleist drivers, meanwhile, have been played by 11 of the last 39 male Major winners, followed by Callaway (seven), Srixon (three) and Ping (two).

No one has won more Major Championships in the last decade than Brooks Koepka.

The American, who now plays on LIV Golf, played with TaylorMade drivers for four of his five Major victories, the one exception coming in 2023 when he had the Srixon ZX5 LS Mk II in the bag en route to winning the PGA Championship.

Jordan Spieth was the hottest golfer on the planet back in 2015, winning three Majors in quick time - and for all of these he had the Titleist 915D2 driver in the bag.
