It was a busy (and windy) Tuesday at the BMW Championship for a few Titleist Brand Ambassadors, including Deutsche Bank Championship winner Charley Hoffman and newly-named Ryder Cup players Zach Johnson and Rickie Fowler. Team Titleist was on the scene at Cog Hill, taking pictures from inside and outside the Titleist Tour Van.

At next month's Ryder Cup in Wales, more players will trust Titleist golf balls than any other ball, including Titleist Brand Ambassadors Steve Stricker, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Zach Johnson and Ross Fisher.
In total, 12 of the 24 players, six Americans and six Europeans, competing in golf's biggest team event at Celtic Manor will tee up Titleist golf balls, three times more than the nearest competitor: Stricker (Pro V1), Fowler (Pro V1x), Johnson (Pro V1x), Bubba Watson (Pro V1x), Jeff Overton (Pro V1x), and Hunter Mahan (Pro V1x) for the U.S.; McIlroy (Pro V1x), Fisher (Pro V1x), Lee Westwood (Pro V1x), Padraig Harrington (Pro V1x), Ian Poulter (Pro V1x) and Luke Donald (Pro V1x) for Europe.
Both Ryder Cup captains are also Titleist golf ball loyalists. U.S. captain Corey Pavin plays a Pro V1 golf ball, while European captain Colin Montgomerie plays the Pro V1x.
Which team do you think will win? Will the United States retain the Cup or will the Europeans regain possession on their home turf? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Charley Hoffman made it look easy on Labor Day, recording 11 birdies in a final-round 9-under 62 at TPC Boston that earned him a five-shot victory and moved him to No. 2 in the FedEx Cup Playoffs standings.
"It's a no-brainer. Best ever (victory)," said Hoffman, who started to pull away from the field after holing out from a bunker for birdie on the par-4 13th. "To go out and shoot 62 on a pretty tough golf course (in the final round), it's fun."
Hoffman, 33, posted four rounds in the 60s (64-67-69-62), shooting a back-nine 29 Sunday to tie the tournament record with a 22-under 262 total and collect his second career PGA Tour victory. He rolled in his Titleist Pro V1 golf ball for birdie on the par-5 18th and pumped his fist to the Boston crowd. Hoffman was one of 64 players in the field of 99 players at TPC Boston that trusted a Titleist golf ball, more than seven times the nearest competitor with nine.
He also became the second player to find the winner's circle using the Titleist 910 prototype driver following Titleist Brand Ambassador Ross Fisher's victory last month at the Irish Open.Hoffman, who plays a 910D3 9.5 (D1 setting) with Diamana Whiteboard 83X shaft, finished the week tied for fifth in Driving Accuracy (78.6 percent) and 10th in Driving Distance (299.8 yards).
In total, 19 players in the Deutsche Bank field gamed the Titleist 910 prototype driver, including Titleist Brand Ambassadors Geoff Ogilvy (T-2) and Adam Scott (T-5).
Also in Hoffman's bag are the Titleist MB irons (3-9), Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges (48, 56, 60) and Scotty Cameron Red X putter. Titleist was the No. 1 choice of players at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Iron Sets (30), Sand, Lob and Approach Wedges (84) and Putters (37).
