In the first five events of the 2026 PGA Tour season, a mix of established and new drivers has helped secure victories for top players. One putter has claimed 80% of the wins, bucking the zero-torque trend prevalent on tour. Here's a breakdown of the equipment used by the champions so far.

Titleist has introduced six new Tour-inspired grinds for its Vokey SM11 wedges, making professional-grade options available to everyday golfers. The WedgeWorks 2026 lineup, launched on March 27, includes the L, A, K*, A+, V and 62M grinds, each designed to address specific course conditions. Priced at $229 per wedge, they come in a raw finish.

Nico Echavarria secured his third PGA Tour victory at the Cognizant Classic by switching to a softer, spinnier golf ball. The change to Srixon's Z-Star Diamond from the Z-Star XV provided better control on firm greens. This adjustment, tested earlier in the season, contributed to his strong approach play.

The process of getting new golf clubs does not end with the initial fitting, as demonstrated by a recent experience shared on GOLF's Fully Equipped podcast. Johnny Wunder returned to tweak his new Vokey SM11 wedges for optimal performance. Hosts emphasized the importance of follow-up visits to trusted fitters.
