Titleist partners with 2021 Rugby League World Cup

Titleist has announced an innovative cross-sport partnership with Rugby League World Cup 2021 to increase brand awareness and will provide personalised golf balls for the event.

The event will see the men’s, women’s and wheelchair tournaments run concurrently for the first time in its history between October 23 and November 27, 2021.

As a licenced partner, Titleist will give golfers the chance to add the tournament logo or any of the participating teams’ marks to their industry leading golf ball line-up via the My Titleist platform – consisting of the premium performance Pro V1, Pro V1x and AVX, in addition to the performance Tour Speed, Tour Soft, Velocity and TruFeel golf balls.

Titleist joins a list of brands partnering with RLWC2021 including apparel, accessories, publishing and collectibles, ahead of what promises to be the biggest and best Rugby League World Cup to date.
