When it comes to the golf bag the driver is, arguably, the most important club and, despite most manufacturers releasing new models every year, sometimes it's best to stick with what you know and trust under pressure.
If you were to scour through the professional circuit, you would notice that players have different drivers in the bag that vary in terms of age and head shapes.
Certainly, at Augusta National, many brands are in play and, with tee shots playing a huge part in the outcome of the tournament, it's crucial that players have the driver dialled in for the tree-lined layout.
Just because manufacturers have released new models doesn't mean players will be putting them in play. One example is Rory McIlroy who, after testing the latest TaylorMade Qi35 driver, has opted to use the older Qi10 for The Masters.
Viktor Hovland, who just recently won the Valspar Championship, was still using the Ping G425 LST driver, which is two models older than the newest G440. However, on Tuesday of Masters week, he revealed that he had switched to the G440 LST for Augusta National.
To go a step further - Bernhard Langer, who will be making his final Masters appearance, still has the Ping G400 driver in the bag from 2018.
