Titleist balls are used by roughly 70% of professional golfers. 38 of the current top 100 PGA pros use the Pro V1 ball.
In golf - or any sport, really - it's important to have the right equipment. And with so many different brands to choose from, new players commonly look to their idols for guidance. Footballers, for example, might choose to wear the same boots as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
Many of the world’s top golfers use balls you can buy off the shelf, which is good news for those looking to golf like Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods.
What’s the most popular golf ball for professional golfers?
Other golf pros use variants on the Titleist Pro V1, like the Pro V1 Left Dot as favoured by Tony Finau and Daniel Berger, or the Pro V1x used by Joaquin Niemann and Joohyung Kim. There are also golf balls that are specifically designed to provide professional tour performance, like TaylorMade Tour Response golf balls.
Why do so many pros use Titleist golf balls?
Well, it’s not just the result of good marketing - these balls are widely recognised as world leaders. The Pro V1 ball’s three-layer, 392-dimple design makes for a soft feel and consistent flight that allows for precision over distance shots, as well as drop-and-stop control to ensure it doesn’t roll away from its intended target. Both are essential for golfers looking to improve, but also for professionals who aim to win.
