After Team USA claimed a dominant 17-9 win in 2025, Team GB&I will be out for revenge at the 51st edition of the Walker Cup, which takes place at Lahinch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comprised of the 20 best amateur golfers from America and Great Britain and Ireland, multiple formats will be used on September 5-6th, including foursomes<\/a>, four-balls and singles.<\/p>\n

Because of this, one big aspect will be how well players can get their ball in play from off the tee in Ireland.<\/p>\n

During a practice round, for example, Preston Stout<\/a> bombed a drive at the fourth hole that carried a mound in the fairway that was positioned at 340-yards!<\/p>\n

A total of five brands are represented in the Walker Cup and, just like the 2025 edition, it’s Titleist<\/a> that leads the way, with 10 drivers represented from the manufacturer, one less than last year.<\/p>\n

Those 10 drivers are spread over five different heads, which range from the brand new GTS2<\/a>, GTS3 and GTS4 models, as well as the prior generation of the GT2 and GT3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade is the second most popular manufacturer in Lahinch, with three players using the Qi4D Core<\/a> and one using the Qi35.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

Callaway occupies the final podium position with three drivers, as the Quantum Triple Diamond<\/a> is in the bag of two players, while the Elyte is still used by 2025 Amateur Championship winner Ethan Fang.<\/p>\n

The final two remaining brands are Ping and Cobra, with the former in the set-up of two players, while Cobra is used by former Northeast Amateur champion Tyler Watts.<\/p>\n

While the Titleist GT3 was the most popular model in 2025<\/a>, only one player has that model of driver in play 12 months later, with Titleist and TaylorMade sharing the honors when it comes to the most popular driver.<\/p>\n

Both the Titleist GTS3<\/a> and GT2 are used by three players a piece, while the TaylorMade Qi4D Core is also in the bag of three players in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Narrowly behind the three drivers above, the Ping G440 LST<\/a> is in the set-up of two players, as is the Titleist GTS2 and Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Team USA claimed a dominant 17-9 win in 2025, Team GB&I will be out for revenge at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-883139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
