The Players Championship is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour and has been running since 1974 and was originally know as the Tournament Players Championship. Outside the four main golf majors the Players Championship is considered one of the most important tournaments on the tour often referred to as the fifth major in the golfing calendar.

This year the Players Championship winner is Tim Clark winning by one shot from Robert Allenby as the current leader Lee Westwood’s challenge faltered on the back nine.

It was an eventful time this year at Sawgrass as the South African Clark overtook Westwood gaining a two shot lead on the 16th. Westwood finally finished joint fourth as he double-bogeyed on the 17th. World number one Tiger Woods retired after only seven holes of his round after suffering from a neck injury. However by this time he was out of the running for the title as he was two shots over for the day, leaving him two under overall.

What is custom fitting?

Online you will be asked for specifications like, your custom shaft options, grip options, grip thickness options, lie angle options and loft angle options.

The length of the club is one of the most important factors when it comes to custom fitting, but remember its not the most important Other factors such as the size of the club’s grip is also important, your club should be comfortable for your hands.

What are the benefits of a custom fit golf club?

By getting a custom fit golf club you are helping improve certain aspects of game for instance custom fit golf clubs can help in fixing your slice, the angle in which the custom golf club approaches the ball and the side spin it can help improving your game.

Brand Ambassador Rory McIlroy Plays Pro V1x and 14 Titleist Clubs to Win Quail Hollow Championship

In a brilliant display of talent and confidence in himself and his equipment, Titleist Brand Ambassador Rory Mcllroy trusted the Pro V1x golf ball and a complete bag of Titleist clubs to win the Quail Hollow Championship for his first career PGA Tour victory.  Just days shy of his 21st birthday, McIlroy went 5-under over the final five holes to close with a course record 10-under 62, topping the nearest competitor and Masters champion by four shots.  He capped the magical round by converting a 40-foot putt on the final hole to finish at 15-under 273 to mark the second consecutive week a Titleist Brand Ambassador has joined the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour after Jason Bohn’s wire-to-wire victory at the Zurich Classic.

McIlroy becomes the first player since 2006 to make the cut on the number and win a PGA Tour event.  McIlroy was two over the cut line on Friday with three holes to play, before making an eagle on his 16th hole.  His 10-under par 62 is the lowest final round for a winner on Tour this year, a mark previously set by fellow full line Titleist player Bill Haas, who shot 64 en-route to his victory at the Bob Hope Classic.

McIlroy trusted the feel and playability of Titleist from tee-to-green for his victory including the Pro V1x ball, 909D2 driver, 909F2 fairway metals, new AP2 irons (3-4), new MB irons (5-9), Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C pitching, sand and lob wedges and Scotty Cameron Studio Select Fastback 1 prototype putter.
McIlroy topped a leaderboard littered with Pro V1 loyalists and full line Titleist players. Fellow Pro V1x player Angel Cabrera shot a 4-under 68 to finish 3rd while Titleist Brand Ambassadors Brendon de Jonge (Pro V1x), Bo Van Pelt (Pro V1) and McIlroy’s fellow young gun Rickie Fowler (Pro V1x) finished 4th, 5th and 6th, respectively.

The Titleist Pro V1 was also the overwhelming golf ball of choice at the Quail Hollow Championship with 100 players putting their trust in Titleist golf balls, more than five times the nearest competitor with 19. Titleist also topped the counts for iron sets, sand, lob and approach wedges and putters

Elsewhere, on the Champions Tour, David Eger (Pro V1) relied on a Titleist golf ball and 14 Titleist clubs to capture the inaugural Mississippi Golf Resort Classic and Martin Piller (Pro V1x) won a final round duel with fellow Titleist golf ball loyalist Daniel Summerhays (Pro V1x) to capture the Stadion Athens Classic for his first career Nationwide Tour title. These victories take Titleist’s 2010 worldwide golf ball win count to 39, compared to just 9 for the nearest competitor.

A magnificent maiden PGA Tour victory for Titleist Ambassador Rory McIlroy, and further victories on worldwide professional tours for Pro V1 loyalists, continues to prove that the world’s best players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist for their success.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Jason Bohn claims the Zurich Classic to headline a 5-win weekend for Titleist

Titleist Brand Ambassador Jason Bohn birdied the 72nd hole of the Zurich Classic in Louisiana to claim his second career PGA Tour victory. Bohn’s victory headlined a five win weekend for Titleist as the #1 Ball in Golf finished at the top of leaderboards across the world.

Bohn birdied three of his final four holes in Sunday’s final round to finish on 18-under par 270, two shots ahead of Pro V1x loyalist Jeff Overton and four ahead of Titleist Brand Ambassador Troy Merritt, completing a Titleist 1-2-3 in Louisiana. Bohn’s flawless display sees him become the first player since 1986 to record a wire-to-wire victory in the Zurich Classic, having taken a share of the lead after a first round 65 on Thursday, never relinquishing his position at the top of the leaderboard.

Bohn trusted the feel and playability of Titleist from tee-to-green for his wire-to-wire victory including the Pro V1x ball, 909D3 driver, 909F3 3-wood, 909H hybrids, new Titleist MB irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled pitching, sand and lob wedges and Scotty Cameron Newport putter. As well as being the choice of the top three finishers at TPC Louisiana, the Titleist Pro V1 franchise was also the choice of the majority of the field with 104 players putting their trust in Titleist golf balls, more than five times the nearest competitor with 18. Titleist also topped the counts for iron sets, sand, lob and approach wedges and putters.

Elsewhere, on the Champions Tour, Titleist golf ball loyalist Mark O’Meara (Pro V1) shot a final round 10-under par 62 with his partner before claiming the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf at the second play-off hole ahead of Pro V1x loyalist Joey Sindelar and his partner. On the Nationwide Tour, Ewan Porter trusted the Pro V1x to claim the South Georgia Classic with a final round 2-under par 70, for his second Nationwide Tour victory. On the Japan Tour, Hiroyuki Fujita (Pro V1) claimed the Tsuruya Open at the second play-off hole, ahead of Pro V1x loyalist Toru Taniguchi, for his ninth career title on the Japan Golf Tour. In South Africa, Titleist Brand Ambassador Jbe Kruger shot a final round 65 to claim a two shot victory at the Africom Zimbabwe Open, and Titleist’s impressive five win weekend was completed by Rob Grube (Pro V1) who claimed the Riviera Nayarit Classic on the Canadian Tour ahead of Pro V1x loyalist Lucas Lee. These victories take Titleist’s 2010 worldwide golf ball win count to 36, compared to just 8 for the nearest competitor.

A historic wire to wire victory for Jason Bohn in the Zurich Classic, as well as a host of other victories on worldwide professional tours, continues to prove that the world’s best players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist for their success.
