The Clubhouse Podcast is brought to you by Titleist, the #1 ball in golf, and the most played golf ball at the British Masters – with 70 per cent of the field putting one in play at The Belfry this week.
For more information on the #1 ball in golf, head to Titleist.co.uk (opens in new tab).
Last week, our podcast guest and Titleist brand Ambassador Garrick Higgo relied on a full bag of Titleist equipment, including the new TSi3 driver and Pro V1x golf ball, to capture his third European Tour Title at the Canary Islands Championship. That makes it two wins in the past three events for the 21-year old, who becomes the fourth-youngest player to record three European Tour wins.
