The Clubhouse Podcast is brought to you by Titleist, the #1 ball in golf, and the choice of previous US Open champions Gary Woodland, Jordan Spieth, and Webb Simpson, who all trusted the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.
Last week at the Palmetto championships, Titleist Brand Ambassador Garrick Higgo trusted 14 Titleist clubs, including the new TSi3 driver and the Pro V1x golf ball, to claim his maiden PGA Tour victory in just his second start.
There was similar success for Jonathan Caldwell, who trusted a New Pro V1x to capture his first European Tour win at the Scandinavian Mixed Hosted by Henrik & Annika in Sweden.
Caldwell’s victory followed Marcus Armitage’s win last week at the Porsche European Open playing NEW Pro V1x, as Titleist golf ball players have now won the last five European Tour events and 11 of the 14 events played this season.
