Romero becomes the eighth player to win on the 2008 US PGA Tour with a Titleist golf ball which is more than all other competitors combined.

Davis Love III - Gator Golfer
There was a children’s toy in the 1990s called Gator Golf which featured the slogan, “Gator Golf - what could be greater than playing a game of golf with a gator?” To answer this question the best person to ask about this would be Titleist player Davis Love III because first-round play at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans was interrupted when an alligator invaded the fairway. The Alligator was moved off the fairway and Davis Love III completed his round.
Love’s Titleist Bag contains some of Titleist’s top golf equipment including:
Love has won nineteen events on the PGA Tour, including the 1997 PGA Championship. He also won the prestigious Players Championship in 1992 and 2003 and as of July 2007 he was fourth on the PGA Tour career money leaders list with earnings of more than $35 million.
Mizuno F-60 Steel Fairway Woods
The Mizuno F-60 Fairway Woods produce powerful ball flight, attainable through the mixture of an ultra-lightweight titanium crown and stainless steel body. This new technology replaces Mizuno’s previous graphite crown/steel body combination which required a heavier bonding material. Mizuno engineers found that by using this lightweight titanium crown they could strategically reposition the centre of gravity to allow golfers to launch the ball with ease and increased control. Although the new F-60 looks like its award winning predecessor, the materials result in a very different performance.
Key features include:
· Ultra-light titanium crown - Just 3% of overall head-weight for high boring trajectory,· Increased sole radius - Improves playability from a variety of lies,· Cortech face technology - Three variable face thickness areas for maximum distance, · Classic profile - 20% increased sweet area within versatile head size.

- King Cobra Speed Pro D (9.5) driver,

- New Pro MB (3-9) irons,

Titleist Player Greg Kraft
Greg Kraft earned his first official PGA Tour title with a victory at the inaugural Puerto Rico Open. Kraft won the Deposit Guaranty Classic in Mississippi 15 years ago, but as it took place the same weekend as the Masters it did not count as an official Tour win. Relying upon the Pro V1x golf ball and 13 Titleist golf clubs Kraft fired a 14-under 274 to edge two players by one shot. Kraft’s bag contains:
- Pro V1x golf balls,

- ZB Forged irons (3-P),
- Vokey Design Spin Milled sand (54),
