Titleist golf balls won 26 times on the PGA Tour during the 2026 FedEx Cup season, more than every other brand combined, and the single winningest model was a Pro V1x still built to 2019 specifications.

Which golf ball won the most on Tour in 2026?

The 2019 Pro V1x was played by two of the season's three-time winners, Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick, and accounted for six of the Pro V1x's 14 total victories across five different model years. Titleist continues to manufacture the 2019 version for players who prefer it to newer releases, a pattern also seen last season when the 2021 Pro V1, played by Scottie Scheffler, was the tour's winningest ball.

Rank	Ball	Wins	Players

2	Titleist Pro V1	9	7
3	Bridgestone Tour B X w/ Mindset	4	2
T4	TaylorMade TP5	2	2
T4	TaylorMade TP5x	2	2

T4	Titleist Pro V1x Double Dot Prototype	2	1

Who else won with each ball?

Pro V1 wins skewed toward high-speed, high-spin players such as Michael Brennan and Jackson Koivun, but PGA champion Aaron Rai also won on a 2019 Pro V1, while Viktor Hovland used the same 2021 model as Scheffler. Chris Gotterup debuted Bridgestone's redesigned Tour B X twice in his first four starts of the year and later again, with Presidents Cup captain Brandt Snedeker also winning on it in Myrtle Beach. Rory McIlroy won the Masters on an updated TaylorMade TP5, and Collin Morikawa won in his first start with the new TP5x. Srixon's Z-Star Diamond went to J.J. Spaun and Nico Echavarria.

Only five brands won a PGA Tour event in 2026, the smallest number in any equipment category this season.

What is the Pro V1x Double Dot prototype?

Cameron Young debuted the unreleased Pro V1x Double Dot prototype at last year's Wyndham Championship, then won twice more with it this season, at the Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship, and used it to hit the longest drive ever recorded on TPC Sawgrass' 18th hole. It was later reported that the prototype may conform under a rules body's proposed rolled-back distance standard.
