The 50th Walker Cup<\/a> is upon us, with Team USA looking to retain the trophy for a fifth straight year after beating Team GB&I in the last four editions.<\/p>\n

Taking place at the stunning Cypress Point, the world’s best amateurs from the USA and GB&I<\/a> will descend on the team tournament, which takes place September 6-7th.<\/p>\n

Amateur golf continues to grow stronger and stronger, with one notable aspect being the distance that the younger players are able to produce from off the tee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One particular example is 2023 Walker Cup player and 2022 NCAA Division I Individual champion Gordon Sargent who, after earning a PGA Tour card, has become the longest hitter on the circuit in 2025, averaging an eye-watering 336 yards.<\/p>\n

Hard work in the gym is obviously one of the key factors for the distance<\/a>, but another reason is the equipment, with driver manufacturers able to maximize performance from their clubs via various technological inputs.<\/p>\n

Like those players on the PGA Tour<\/a>, competitors in the Walker Cup are using the lower spin models of driver, with Ping, Titleist, TaylorMade and Callaway represented.<\/p>\n

In total, Titleist make up over half of the drivers at the Walker Cup, with the GT2<\/a> and GT3<\/a> used by 10 and the TSR2 by Luke Poulter. It’s worth noting that the Englishman has also used the GT2, but was using the TSR2 during The Amateur Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ping is used by a quarter of the field, with all five men putting the new G440 LST<\/a> in the bag. It’s a similar story for TaylorMade, as Charlie Forster and Niall Shiels Donegan have the new Qi35 LS in play.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Callaway have two drivers represented, but all three are different heads, with the new Elyte and Paradym Ai Smoke<\/a> used by the US team. Although they are different models, both are the Triple Diamond version, a compact, low launching driver.<\/p>\n

What Is The Most Popular Driver Model At The 2025 Walker Cup?<\/p>\n

The most popular model is the Titleist GT3, which sits in the middle of the GT range<\/a> in terms of spin and forgiveness. It offers the most adjustability, which is why six players have it in play.<\/p>\n

Five players have the Ping G440 LST in the bag, while three have the Titleist GT2 and two the TaylorMade Qi35 LS<\/a>. The final two drivers are made up of Callaway models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 50th Walker Cup is upon us, with Team USA looking to retain the trophy for a fifth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-123137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
