Second PGA Tour Victory Since Last October
Pre-Tournament Driver Swing Adjustments Pay Off
New Energy with the Titleist GT3 Driver
Michael Brennan (USA) struggled this year. Ahead of the final event of the PGA Tour regular season, the Wyndham Championship (total prize money of $8.5 million), he was ranked only 105th in the FedExCup standings.
On August 3, Brennan worked on his swing at the Rocket Mortgage Classic venue. Together with swing coach Adam Harrell, he focused intently on his driver shots. He explained, “Going into the Wyndham Championship, I focused on shortening my swing,” adding, “My driver shots improved significantly.”

On August 10, Brennan soared at the Wyndham Championship held at Sedgefield Country Club (par 70) in Greensboro, North Carolina. In particular, he shot a 6-under-par 64 in the final round to secure a three-shot victory at 21-under 258. It marked his second career win and came 10 months after his previous victory at the Bank of Utah Championship in October 2025. The winner’s prize amounts to $1.53 million (approximately KRW 2.16 billion).
Brennan, whose participation in the first round of the FedExCup Playoffs—the FedEx St. Jude Championship (total prize money of $20 million)—had been in doubt, created a comeback drama by capturing the title in the last tournament of the season. He climbed up to 47th in the FedExCup rankings, securing his spot in the playoffs.
Throughout the four days of the Wyndham Championship, Brennan delivered consistently solid shots. His tee shots were particularly impressive, using a Titleist GT3 driver (9 degrees)—a club known for its exceptional distance and forgiveness. He ranked 6th in average driving distance at 329.30 yards, was tied for 23rd in fairways hit at 69.64%, and tied for 3rd in greens in regulation at 83.33%. He averaged 1.63 putts per hole, tied for 2nd. After his victory, Brennan smiled broadly, saying, “Now I get to go to the Masters next year.”
