We ran the numbers on the 2022-23 PGA Tour season to see which equipment companies’ irons have won the most thus far.
Ryan Barath
With two men’s major championships officially in the books for 2023 and the PGA Tour schedule past the halfway point, we decided to start looking at equipment trends among the players who have hoisted trophies.
Heading into the PGA Championship, we looked back on the drivers with the most wins on the PGA Tour, and now we’re turning our focus on winning irons for the 2022-23 season.
Let’s break down the list.
Ping – 9 wins, 1 uncontracted
Ping players have had a very solid year for wins on the PGA Tour, and a variety of models have been used for those wins including the Blueprint blade and the newest technology-packed i230s. The uncontracted win belongs to Matt Fitzpatrick, who uses a set of Ping S55 and an older i210 4-iron.
PING i230 irons
Starting at $188/club
Already a winner on Tour, the players-style i230 iron delivers consistent and predictable distance control with tighter dispersion for hitting precise yardages.
Callaway – 9 wins, 1 uncontracted
Having Jon Rahm on staff sure has helped Callaway rack up wins, but he’s not the only one hoisting trophies in 2023. Thanks to others like Adam Svensson, Chris Kirk and Sam Burns, it’s been a busy year.
Callaway Apex TCB irons
$200/club
Apex TCB Irons are precision-engineered for forged performance, shot-making and control in a Tour-inspired forged 1025 players cavity back. It’s a classic compact look and spec package that’s suited for the best players.
Titleist – 8 wins
Just like with their successful TSR driver line, Titleist has iron models to suit any player, from pure blades to hollow cavities, but the model that stands out on tour are the T100s and T100S’, which combine compact looks with multi-material forgiveness.
Titleist T100s irons
Starting at $189/club
The T100S now boast an even closer connection to the true player’s performance and feel. It’s the modern Tour iron with the dialed-up distance you need to perform at your highest level.
TaylorMade – 4 wins, 1 uncontracted
It sure helps to have Scottie Scheffler, but TaylorMade irons were also used by Kurt Kitayama to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and they had an uncontracted win when Jason Day won for the first time in five years with a mixed set of P770 and P7MC irons.
TaylorMade P770, P7MB, P7MC and Stealth HD Irons
$1,000-1,500
The forged hollow body construction gives golfers the best of both worlds; beauty and performance. A soft 8620 carbon steel body is paired with an incredibly thin forged 4140 steel face and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket for a design that is fast, flexible and forgiving even in a compact head shape.
Srixon – 2 wins
Srixon irons aren’t just popular with their staff players, the ZX7 MKII is one of the most popular irons on tour for players who aren’t under contract. The biggest win for Srixon this year is also its most recent, thanks to Brooks Koepka winning the PGA Championship.
ZX7 MKII, Z-Forged II, Srixon ZX4 MK II, and ZX5 MK II irons
$1,200/set
A players Iron with tour-preferred looks and the pure feel of a premium blade, offering total control, the ZX7 Mk II delivers it all. Featuring a compact shape, narrow topline, single-piece forging and narrow sole.
Cobra – 1 win uncontracted
It’s not that often a player wins with a brand new set of irons in the bag, but when equipment free agent Justin Rose had a mixed combo set of Cobra irons built last minute Wednesday before the AT&T Pro-Am, that’s exactly what he did.
Justin isn’t the only one playing well with Cobra’s new King Tour forged irons — staffer Rickie Fowler is having a resurgent year with four top 10s and 10 top 25s to put him 30th in the FedEx Cup.
Cobra King Tour
Starting at $186 a club
A 5-step forged construction, a compact tour cavity back shape, and a TPU insert deliver soft feel with excellent feedback that skilled players demand.
PXG – 1 win
If there is one club PXG is most known for, it’s their irons, and Nico Echavarria used them with exacting precision to win for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Puerto Rico Open. He plays a combo set that includes PXG’s newest 0317 forged CBs.
PXG 0311P Gen6
Starting at $220/club
PXG 0311 P GEN6 Irons provide an ideal balance between workability and forgiveness. These irons feature PXG’s patented XCOR2 material, moderate offset, and breakthrough head design with a clean aesthetic.
