This year across the worldwide professional golf tours, Titleist was once again the #1 ball for more players and more champions. The game's finest players relied on a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball 23,450 times during the 2015-16 season, more than six times the nearest competitor with 3,989 and more than all competitors combined.

During that same time, Titleist golf ball players recorded 188 worldwide victories, compared to 36 for the nearest competitor.

Let's take a look at some highlights from the past season...

• Titleist brand ambassador Greg Chalmers (Pro V1x) became the first player to win on the PGA Tour with the new Titleist 917 driver.

Chalmers spoke about his 917D2 after the win, saying, “Thanks to Titleist I’ve got that new driver, the 917, and I gained some yardage and I started driving it straighter. I drove it beautifully. I really did drive it nicely so a big thank you to them.”
