The clubhouse is brought to you by Titleist, the number one ball in golf.

Not only did Stewart Cink place his trust in the Pro V1x golf ball to take his eighth PGA Tour title this week at Harbour Town, but he was one of five players competing around the world to win using a Titleist golf ball.

Titleist was also the most played driver at the RBC Heritage and continues to be the most played driver on the PGA Tour this season. The #1 brand in golf was also trusted by more players in the golf ball, utility iron, hybrid, iron, wedge, and putter categories than any other brand.
