Most Popular and Successful Wedge on PGA Tour

The winningest wedge on the PGA Tour in 2026 was also the most played. Titleist's Vokey consistently led the pack, making up 52 percent of all gap, sand, and lob wedges used on the tour. While other brands like TaylorMade and Cleveland also had successful years with multiple wins, Vokey remained the top choice for professionals.

Here's a breakdown of the winningest wedge models during the 2026 FedEx Cup season:

No. 1 Titleist Vokey SM11 (11 wins)

The new Titleist Vokey SM11 wedges quickly gained traction on the PGA Tour after their January release. This model secured its first win with Cameron Young and went on to achieve significant success throughout the season. Players like Ricky Castillo, Alex Fitzpatrick, Wyndham Clark, Aaron Rai, Russell Henley, Bud Cauley, Jackson Koivun, and Michael Brennan all earned victories with the SM11. Wyndham Clark's third win of the season at the BMW marked the 11th victory for this wedge platform, showcasing its versatility with various grinds used by top players.

T2. TaylorMade MG5 (7 wins)

TaylorMade's new MG5 wedges made a strong debut in 2026. The forged MG5 not only found its way into the bags of TaylorMade staffers such as Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Jacob Bridgeman, and Michael Thorbjornsen, but it also contributed to three wins for unaffiliated player Chris Gotterup. The LB lob wedge grind proved to be the most popular choice, with Morikawa opting for the TW-grind and Thorbjornsen playing the SC grind.

3. Titleist Vokey SM10 (6 wins)

Although no longer the latest model, the Titleist Vokey SM10 continued to be a winning choice in 2026, securing 7 victories. Matt Fitzpatrick was a key player with three wins, complemented by early-season victories from Justin Rose, J.T. Poston, and Tom Kim. Fitzpatrick's success contributed to the M-Grind tying for the lead in lob wedge grinds for the season.

T4. Cleveland RTZ (3 wins)

Cleveland's RTZ platform achieved four full set wins in the bags of Nico Echavarria, Brandt Snedeker, and Ryan Fox, including Fox's major championship victory at the Open Championship. The RTZ's success extended beyond these wins, with J.J. Spaun carrying it as his sand wedge and Gary Woodland winning with a prototype RTZ Offset lob wedge. Notably, both Woodland and Snedeker used these wedges without a tour contract.

T4. Titleist Vokey SM8 (3 wins)

Scottie Scheffler continued to rely on Vokey's SM8 wedges from 2021 for his sand and gap wedges. While his first win of the season at The American Express featured an SM10 K-Grind lob wedge, he later switched back to an SM9 T-Grind for his subsequent two victories.
