Titleist claims No.1 spot in four DP World Tour equipment metrics

The start of the DP World Tour Championship has confirmed some interesting stats around equipment on the European circuit, with Titleist claiming top spot on balls, drivers, irons and wedges.

In the 2022/23 season on the DP World Tour, more players put their trust in Titleist products throughout the bag than other brand, according to Sporting Insights.

Across nearly 50 events, the brand was by far the most used ball, with an average of 72% of the field trusting a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x, with the closest competitor coming in at 11%.

At the top end of players’ bags, Titleist drivers were the most popular, with the introduction of the TSR range proving important. 37% of players during the season gamed a Titleist driver, with the nearest competitor at 28%.

Meanwhile, the new T Series range of irons debuted at the British Masters, which helped 35% of players put their trust in Titleist irons. The closest competitor was 23%.

Wedges is another part of the bag where Titleist dominates, with the Vokey line proving extremely popular. Over 50% of wedges played at DP World Tour events were Titleist Vokey models.

Liam McDougall, Titleist Director Tour Promotions, said: “The momentum we have seen across all product categories speaks volumes to the relentless pursuit of better from the Titleist R&D teams.

“And it has been incredibly rewarding to see so many players put their trust in our products as they look to compete on the world’s biggest stages.

“But it’s not just about fantastic products. The passion, dedication and service provided by our team week-in, week-out on the DP World Tour is what sets us apart.

“As well as success with our staff players, we’ve seen unprecedented numbers of non-contracted players reach out to us and they too have had great success which is the ultimate validation for Titleist products.”
