4 tour stars switched drivers — and something special happened
In a surprising turn of events, four of the PGA Tour’s top stars have made a significant equipment change by switching drivers. The results have been nothing short of remarkable, with each player experiencing a noticeable improvement in their driving distance and accuracy.
Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Bryson DeChambeau have all switched to a new driver model, and the results have been staggering. Johnson has added an average of 10 yards to his drives, while McIlroy has seen his accuracy improve by over 10%. Thomas has gained both distance and accuracy, and DeChambeau has seen his drives become even more explosive.
The common thread among all four players is their switch to a driver with a larger clubhead and a more forgiving design. This has allowed them to generate more clubhead speed and hit the ball more consistently in the center of the clubface.
The results of this equipment change have been evident on the course, with all four players posting impressive results in recent tournaments. Johnson won the Travelers Championship, while McIlroy finished in a tie for second. Thomas and DeChambeau also contended for the title, finishing in the top 10.
It remains to be seen whether this equipment change will have a lasting impact on the PGA Tour, but for now, it has certainly given these four players a significant advantage.
