History was made at Portrush as Fujikura made it a clean sweep of winners across all four Major Championships in 2025.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a season of unprecedented glory and worldwide wins, the position of Fujikura as the consistent choice of champions and the global leader in shaft innovation was confirmed with all four Major winners using VENTUS<\/strong> shafts in their driver – the first time a specialist driver shaft brand has achieved such a feat*.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fujikura registered its first Major win in 2001, and over the last five years has become the most used driver shaft on the PGA Tour with countless more victories across golf\u2019s biggest tournaments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 2025 Major Championship at Portrush demanded the very best in power and accuracy, due to the course\u2019s tight and dog-legging fairways, and greens protected by devilish pot-bunkers and viscous run-off areas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ultimately, an ability to control the trajectory of the ball from the tee – as well as being able to attack the par 5s with confidence from the fairway – ensured the winner, Scottie Scheffler, remained in control over the closing two rounds after topping the leaderboard following Friday\u2019s second round.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The win in Portrush was the second Major success of the year for Scheffler, following another runaway victory in the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. On both occasions, he was able to play with great control from the tee, utilizing the consistency in his long game with a VENTUS Black 7-X<\/strong> in his driver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The American also trusted VENTUS<\/strong> in his wood shafts, using a VENTUS Black 8-X<\/strong> in his 3-wood (Royal Portrush and Quail Hollow), and VENTUS Black 9-X<\/strong> in his 7-wood (Quail Hollow). It was a shaft line-up that proved critical in delivering two of the most dominant wins of the season across two vastly different layouts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fujikura\u2019s journey to making history began in April, with Master\u2019s Champion Rory McIlroy showcasing the ultimate levels of power from the tee and fairway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before overcoming the pressure of a play-off, McIlroy had been able to stay in contention and control during regulation play by hitting fairway after fairway with a VENTUS Black 6-X<\/strong> in his driver. The Northern Irishman\u2019s wood shaft line-up included VENTUS Black 8-X<\/strong> and VENTUS Black 9-X<\/strong> (3-wood and 5-wood respectively).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of all the Major wins in 2025, there was none more thrilling than the third of the year in Pennsylvania, where JJ Spaun claimed the US Open at one of the toughest courses in Major Championship history at Oakmont.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under the most intense pressure as players struggled with the course\u2019s defences over the back nine on Sunday, Spaun was able to close out victory using the new VENTUS<\/strong> Black 6-X<\/strong> shaft in his driver with tournament-winning birdies at the 71st and 72nd holes, which included driving the green on the 314-yard par-4 17th.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Designed with advanced VeloCore+<\/strong><\/a> technology \u2013 Spaun\u2019s victory at Oakmont was the first Major win registered for the new line of VENTUS<\/strong> with VeloCore+<\/strong> – the VENTUS<\/strong><\/a> Black 6-X<\/strong> shaft would provide the stability, accuracy and distance needed to overcome one of the most gruelling tests in golf.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fujikura also backed up its position as the most used driver and wood shaft among the world\u2019s best players. At the final Major of the year in Northern Ireland, an impressive 43.9% of the field chose the brand\u2019s shafts in their driver (69 out of 157), with 39.3% of players trusting Fujikura in their wood shaft line-up.**<\/p>\n

\"Tiger
Rory McIlroy used Fujikura (VENTUS Black) shaft in his driver to win The Masters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, across all four Majors, the numbers prove even more impressive, with 44.9% trusting the brand\u2019s shafts in their driver (255 players out of 568), and 40.7% playing Fujikura in their wood line-up.**<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eric Recher, Director of Marketing at Fujikura, said: \u201cWe are proud to have made history by supporting the winners of all four Major Championships in 2025.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is testament to the innovation and technology that goes into our driver and wood shafts that so many of the world\u2019s best players rely on the consistency of VENTUS<\/strong> when the pressure is at its most intense.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFujikura\u2019s success across the 2025 Majors only adds to our storied history of powering global victories across the professional tours. But we believe the innovation that goes into every product we make will ensure there is a VENTUS shaft option for every level of player throughout their woods and utility clubs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you are chasing a Major or your best round at your local course, VENTUS<\/strong> and Fujikura\u2019s full line-up of shafts are designed to elevate every player\u2019s game.\u201d<\/p>\n
