The wave of momentum continues to swell for TS drivers on the PGA Tour. Since the start of the new calendar year, Titleist has been the most popular golf driver on tour among golfers at nearly every event, including: Look at these PGA events where the Titleist TS2 & TS3 drivers are making a name for themselves as the best golf driver on the PGA Tour:

    Titleist led the driver count with 45 Titleist drivers in play at Waialae Country Club, making PGA Tour history as the first golf equipment manufacturer ever to sweep the equipment counts at a full-field event... including the golf ball category through EVERY major golf club category. Eleven players put a new TS2 or TS3 into competitive play for the first time at the Sony.
