The rapid adoption of NEW Titleist GT drivers continued last weekend, as 31 players added a new GT2, GT3 or GT4 model to the portfolio at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
That includes 25 players who have played with a GT driver in their first PGA TOUR start since the new models were introduced at the Memorial.
The Titleist proved to be the most played driver at Detroit Golf Club with 62 drivers playing (39%) – and 44 of those were GT models, more than the total number of competitive drivers (33).
When the GT drivers made their DP World Tour debut, 28 players changed immediately.
Last week on the Korn Ferry Tour, 25 players put GT in play in their first week of availability.
“Everything [Titleist Golf Club R&D] the team from top to bottom is passionate about making things the best they can be and has a deep understanding of the PGA TOUR and golfers in general,” said Titleist Brand Ambassador Cameron Young.
“They've seen everything, and there's nothing you can bring to them that can't be fixed or something they can't try. They all have extensive mechanical knowledge, there is always a solution to what you are looking for.”
