Rory McIlroy joined lofty company on Sunday after winning the DP World Tour Championship and the season-long Race to Dubai, equalling Seve Ballesteros record of six European order of merit titles.
McIlroy had his ball on a string in the final few holes, stitching a wedge in close for birdie on 16 before another birdie on 18 secured the Northern Irishman a two shot win over Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard.
To celebrate Rory's win, you can get the golf ball he uses for a discounted price in one of the many early Black Friday PGA TOUR Superstore deals that are currently live on the website. Speaking of Black Friday, for those of you unaware, the day itself will take place on November 29th this year and many brands/retailers have gone early with the deals so check out our Black Friday deals hub for all the best ones!
Now 9% may only be a modest discount but it's very rare we see a premium golf ball on sale - such discounts are normally reserved for more mid or lower tier golf balls, so there is no better time to save a bit of cash whilst stocking up on one of the best golf balls on the market.
The TP5x is TaylorMade's premium golf ball, offering both exceptional distance off the tee and consistent spin control on those shorter shots. We absolutely loved the performance when we tested it earlier this year, giving it five stars out of five after putting it through its paces.
We noted a noticeable increase in ball speed compared to the 2023 model in addition to a fabulous soft feeling through the strike. We really struggled to find any downside to the performance! It explains why many of the TaylorMade's Tour contingent including Tommy Fleetwood and Collin Morikawa rely on the TP5x in addition to McIlory.
We also noted an improved audio compared to the 2023 model, one that can rival any of the best premium golf balls. The subtle but important alignment help on the side of the ball is a welcome touch as well.
"It's a really, really fast golf ball" McIlroy said to the PGA Tour when he made the switch earlier this year.
"I definitely feel like I've picked up a little bit of speed with it, especially off the tee. And it's a little — it's funny, it's a lower-spinning ball, but it feels a touch softer to me around the greens, so I like that feel of it," he added.
The TP5x isn't the only golf ball on sale at PGA TOUR Superstore in the run up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The unique but stylish TP5 Pix golf balls are available at a discounted price, with their splashy vegas-style design ensuring your ball will garner some attention out on the course - they're one of the best personalized golf balls on the market.
Additionally, if you'd like some help with alignment on the greens the TP5x Stripe golf ball is also on sale.
