According to the Guardian, it’s the driver used by McIlroy when winning The Open and the PGA Championship.

See the below screen-grab from an online conversation between the Northern Irishman and Mr Edwards after his off-the-cuff request for a new driver.
He already has four major titles but this act might ensure that McIlroy’s fifth gets him a few extra cheers on the green.
Stenson will compete in all three of the remaining Final Series events as he looks to improve upon his current position of 19th the standings.
He replied: “Sure. I’ll send you a Nike covert driver”.
Barry almost fell out of his standing when he got the response, writing, “Seriously? Served me well! Message me your address and my team will ship it to you”, Rory wrote on Facebook. “I was joking lol…” “But would be very, very greatful (sic)”, replied Edwards.
“But I would be very grateful”.
“Can’t guarantee 320 yard drives though!”

“It’s going nowhere… It’ll be treasured greatly…” he confirmed.
