The Titleist Vokey SM11 not only topped the player usage charts but also amassed the most victories on the PGA Tour in 2026.
With 21 wins logged by Vokey clubs—primarily the SM11—the brand led the season in wedge success while accounting for roughly half of all gap, sand and lob wedges carried by Tour players.
TaylorMade’s MG5 platform posted seven wins, highlighted by three victories from a non‑contracted player, while Cleveland’s RTZ wedges contributed multiple wins, including Ryan Fox’s Open Championship triumph.
The winningest wedges during the 2026 FedEx Cup season
No. 1 Titleist Vokey SM11 (11 wins)
Jack Hirsh/GOLF
Titleist’s new Vokey SM11 wedges launched at the start of the season and quickly racked up victories. Cameron Young secured the first win, followed by Ricky Castillo, Alex Fitzpatrick, and Wyndham Clark. Aaron Rai’s major‑winning lob wedge at the Open Championship further underscored the platform’s dominance, and later triumphs came from Russell Henley, Bud Cauley, Jackson Koivun and Michael Brennan.
T2. TaylorMade MG5 (7 wins)
Jack Hirsh/GOLF
TaylorMade’s MG5 recorded a breakout year with wins for contracted players Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Jacob Bridgeman and Michael Thorbjornsen, plus three victories from uncontracted player Chris Gotterup. The most popular grind was the LB, though Morikawa and Thorbjornsen opted for the TW‑grind and SC respectively.
3. Titleist Vokey SM10 (6 wins)
Jack Hirsh/GOLF
The SM10 continued to collect wins despite no longer being Vokey’s flagship model. Matt Fitzpatrick posted three victories, and early‑season successes also came from Justin Rose, J.T. Poston and Tom Kim.
T4. Cleveland RTZ (3 wins)
Jack Hirsh/GOLF
Cleveland’s RTZ platform delivered four full‑set wins for Nico Echavarria, Brandt Snedeker and Ryan Fox (including his major), while J.J. Spaun also featured the wedge in his sand set. Gary Woodland secured a win with a prototype RTZ Offset lob wedge, both he and Snedeker playing the club without a contract.
T4. Titleist Vokey SM8 (3 wins)
Scottie Scheffler continued to use Vokey’s SM8 from 2021 in both sand and gap positions. His lob wedge for the season‑opening American Express win was an SM10 K‑Grind, but he reverted to an SM9 T‑Grind for two subsequent victories.
6. Callaway Opus SP (2 wins)
Jack Hirsh/GOLF
Callaway’s Opus SP line captured two victories, one each by Akshay Bhatia and Stefano Mazzoli. Both golfers used the 08C‑grind for their lob wedges.
