The clubs used by the Masters stats leaders through 36 holes

We’re halfway through the 2025 Masters and enter the weekend with a stacked leaderboard at Augusta National.

While the Masters is the one PGA Tour event of the year that doesn’t provide ShotLink data, the math whizzes at DataGolf have crunched some numbers to give us some unofficial strokes gained data.

Let’s take a look at the leaders in driving, approach, around the green and putting through 36 holes at the 2025 Masters and what clubs they use to get them there.

Driving: Rasmus Hojgaard

In his first Masters appearance, Rasmus Hojgaard leads the field in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee. The young Dane, whose twin brother Nicolai briefly flirted with contention last year is averaging 312 yards off the two holes where driving distance is measured this week (Nos. 5 and 15) while hitting 20 of 28 fairways so far. DataGolf pegs him as picking up 1.35 strokes off the tee with his driver.

Hojgaard is still gaming last year’s Callaway Paradym Ai-Smoke Triple Diamond driver. It’s no surprise to see him hang onto this driver as it’s been one of the more popular models on the PGA Tour since it’s release in 2024.

Hojgaard’s driver specs: Callaway Paradym Ai-Smoke Triple Diamond 10.5˚(Flat Cog, N/S, 14 grams Front, 7 grams Back), Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 1K 60TX (44.75″ EOG, D4.5, Tipped 1″)

Approach: Matt McCarty

In his first-ever Masters, Matt McCarty is dialed with his iron game. The reigning Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year has gaine 2.95 strokes on approach shots, 0.16 more strokes than Rory McIlroy, as he opened with 71-68 in his Augusta National debut. We already know McCarty can play, as he won already on the PGA Tour at the Black Desert Championship in the fall to earn his Masters invitation, and he’s proving it again this week.

PING Blueprint S Custom Irons

Developed following extensive testing with PING’s top tour pros to meet their “must haves” — control and precision — Blueprint S delivers the score-lowering performance demanded by the best players in the world. COMPACT SHAPE The compact shape fits the discerning eye with a thin top line and minimal offset. The 8620 carbon steel head boasts a clean cavity design, distinguished by an eye-catching forged textured pattern and hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish. PRECISION POCKET FORGING This patented forging technique allows PING to forge a pocket into the cavity of the 3, 4 and 5 irons. The pocket saves 10 grams of weight, which is re-allocated to increase the MOI and optimize the center of gravity position for more distance and trajectory control.

Around the Green: Bryson DeChambeau

While Bryson DeChambeau is known more for his prowess off the tee (he leads the field in driving distance this week), according to DataGolf DeChambeau starts the weekend in solo second largely due to his short game. Around the greens, DeChambeau has gained nearly two shots on the field.

PING s159 Custom Wedge

With the addition of two grinds and new lofts, the tour-style s159 wedges are available in 25 loft/grind combinations to match a wedge to your playing conditions and technique while ensuring a properly gapped set. Extensive testing with top PING tour players helped create wedges that will appeal to golfers of all abilities. The new WebFit Wedge app provides a quick and easy way to determine the s159 grinds that best fit your game. Tour-Proven Design The tour-inspired 8620 carbon steel head features a soft feel and clean shape with a straighter lead edge for improved results on full shots. Two performance-enhancing finishes (Hybropearl 2.0 Chrome and Midnight) are available in all loft/grind combinations. More Grooves. More Spin. Wheel-cut grooves are precision-milled to varying dimensions, depending on loft. The 46-to-52-degree wedges are milled to maximize groove volume for greater control on full shots. The 54-to-62-degree options feature more tightly spaced MicroMax grooves to impart more spin, especially around the greens.

While most of DeChambeau’s clubs are smaller, more obscure direct-to-consumer brands, the two-time U.S. Open winner goes with Ping S159 and Glide 4.0 wedges.

He uses a 45- and 50-degree in the S159 and the Glide 4.0 in the 55- and 60-degree slots.

Putting: Justin Rose

In claiming the 36-hole lead at the Masters, Justin Rose has been a wizard on the greens. He’s picked up a whopping 3.68 strokes on the green through two rounds, more than a shot better than anyone else. He’s also navigated Augusta National’s treacherous greens without a three-putt for the first two rounds.

Scotty Cameron 2024 Phantom 5 Custom Putter

Designed with an updated, slightly more compact shape with refined wing angles to enhance alignment, the near-face balanced Phantom 5 stays true to its tour-proven design and features a mid-bend shaft, new sight dot alignment and a blade-like feel.

Rose had been a longtime user of an Axis1 putter, even having his personal model named for him, but toward the back half of last season, Rose went back to a more conventional style mallet in a Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 Circle T. The Phantom 5 is the face-balanced version of the popular Scotty Cameron mallet, featuring a single-bend shaft that goes straight into the head of the putter.

Rose’s putter features a unique semi-circle line, and red dot alignment aid.
