Callaway Golf has long been a pioneer in using cutting-edge technology to revolutionize golf equipment. Their latest innovation, the Paradym AI Smoke Triple Diamond Driver, played a pivotal role in helping Callaway Staff Professional Xander Schauffele clinch his first major title at the 2024 PGA Championship. Not only did Schauffele claim victory, but he also set a record for the lowest score in major championship history at 21-under par.
At the heart of this success is Callaway’s AI Smart Facetechnology, featured prominently in Schauffele’s Paradym AI Smoke Driver. This advanced face design was developed using real player data and machine learning, resulting in a driver that optimizes performance by creating multiple sweet spots across the clubface. This ensures maximum forgiveness and distance, even on off-center hits, thanks to over 50,000 virtual prototypes designed to optimize launch and spin.

The Paradym AI Smoke Driver and Fairway Woods aren’t just about raw power—they blend precision and technology into the game. For Schauffele, this meant consistent performance throughout his rounds, from powerful drives to precise fairway shots. His winning equipment amplified his skills and demonstrated how AI-driven advancements are reshaping the game.
In addition to the driver, Schauffele also utilized the Paradym AI Smoke Triple Diamond Fairway Wood. This club, like the driver, features AI Smart Face technology, specifically tuned to improve performance on lower face strikes—an area where many golfers tend to mis-hit with woods. This design promotes greater consistency, making it a powerful tool in Schauffele’s success on challenging fairway shots.
