Equipment
Patrick Reed signs with PXG
One of the highest profile equipment free agents remaining on the PGA Tour is a free agent no longer.
Prior to the opening event of 2022, former Masters Champion Patrick Reed has signed an equipment deal with PXG. Reed will instantly become the headline player for PXG, where he will join Zach Johnson, Joel Dahmen, and Jason Kokrak on the staff.
Signing an equipment deal is something new for the 31-year-old, as he has been a free agent for the majority of his career.
Previously, his bag has been comprised of a Titleist driver, TaylorMade 3-wood and Callaway hybrid. And his Grindworks irons.
Speaking on the signing, Reed said
“PXG is such a natural fit for me. I love the message they send and the brand they have built, and that takes a great team. I’m so excited to be a part of the PXG Troops and for what is to come.”
The terms of the deal are not yet reported, but at the very least, Reed will be wearing a PXG hat and using the Gen 4 driver; which he has been using for the past few months.
Reed added:
“The new GEN4 drivers are in a class of their own. I love the launch, workability and spin. The sound is pure and you feel like you can just unleash it. Safe to say, I’m very excited about this year.”

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

This website is full of a bunch of perfect people spewing judgment and hate on everything posted. I’m so thankful you aren’t members at my club, and I don’t have to associate with any of you.

The brand everyone loves to hate meets Phatrick, the person everyone loves to hate. Perfect match.
Does PXG make a shovel?

IMO PXG drivers will be in the bags of those sucking hind tit

It’s definitely not more than an opinion. Team tmag had 1 guy in the field this week. They also lost their best player to Callaway.

He’s signed just to play the driver and wear the hat.

Reading interpretation is not your strong suit eh? It says at the very least that’s what he’s playing. They only have a picture of him playing a driver and wearing hat. Terms of deal have not been disclosed.

Thanks for the reply Oppenheimer. His deal is for only the driver and hat. And yes, I do know that as fact.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

He has a Grindworks logo on said hat. It’s minor club deal. It’s mostly the hat and cash.

I can’t believe brand snobbery still exists, I’ve used Drivers from all the big brands,but and my current £205 PXG driver is the most forgiving and longest. Try these ?
