Published

Nov 26, 2024

It’s that time of year again, GolfWRX members, as we begin daydreaming and filling our wish lists with the golf gear we want this holiday season.

The GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide was created to ensure that our readers give (and hopefully receive) the very best golf gifts on the planet. Unlike the other guides, these gift ideas will not suit any budget and are for big spenders only.

By popular demand, we’re again presenting our guide as a series as we did in years past, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to improve,” “the stylish golfer,” and “the big spender.”

Here are our best recommendations for big spender in your life.

Full Swing Virtual Green

Could there be a more exciting and immersive putting experience indoors than this? If there is, we haven’t found it yet. Assuming you have a room large enough, and considering the price you do, this virtual green can be used to hone your skills or just have fun trying impossible putts with your friends.

Garmin MARQ Golfer Carbon Edition

When you hear the term “Fused Carbon Fiber” you would think we are talking about the latest driver or fairway wood, but no, Garmin has created the MARQ Golfer Carbon Edition case by milling 130 layers of carbon fiber.

Club Car Onward 4 Passenger XR Lithium

Having your own golf cart to bring to the course would be the best. You can customize your own Onward 4 Passenger XR Lithium with a lift kit, fancy wheels, luxury seating, and way more!

Honma Beres 09 5S irons 5-SW (9 pieces)

Does anyone need irons that cost as much as an SUV? No, but they are quite cool. The Beres 09 are multi-piece forged irons with an Evolved Biased face structure that maximizes rebound for added ball speed. The back cavity badge has plenty of gold and used to dampen vibration for a soft feel. The new ARMRQ shafts use 70-ton pitch fiber against aluminum and Torayca MX prepped for distance and stability. The 5 Star version (5S) adds a strengthened bias core for more torsional return power.

Price: $53,460

Galvin Green Rainsuit Alister Jacket + Alpha Pant

When it comes to rain gear, few do it better than Galvin Green. The Alistar jacket is their flagship model that combines breathability, stretch, windproof, and waterproofing. Combining Galvin Green’s DRYVR technology with Gore-Tex C-knit fabric you get a garment that keeps mother nature’s worst out and the ability to swing effortlessly. Alpha pants use the same fabrics but add Techsteel on the leg hem and a split inseam for durability.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

Aug 4, 2025

GolfWRX Staff

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here.

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.”

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.”
