While there are still plenty more questions than answers surrounding this week's Ryder Cup, we do know this: When the curtain finally rises on golf's biggest team event Friday morning in Wales, more players will trust Titleist golf balls than any other ball.

In total, 12 of the 24 players, six Americans and six Europeans, will tee up Titleist golf balls, three times more than the nearest competitor: Steve Stricker (Pro V1), Rickie Fowler (Pro V1x), Zach Johnson (Pro V1x), Bubba Watson (Pro V1x), Jeff Overton (Pro V1x), and Hunter Mahan (Pro V1x) for the U.S.; Rory McIlroy (Pro V1x), Ross Fisher (Pro V1x), Lee Westwood (Pro V1x), Padraig Harrington (Pro V1x), Ian Poulter (Pro V1x) and Luke Donald (Pro V1x) for Europe.
