This week at the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Craig Ranch, players will be making their last attempt to finish inside the Top-25 and earn a spot on the PGA Tour for the 2013 Season. Team Titleist brings you the sights from the range in McKinney, Texas, where players shake off the nerves and get into birdie mode.

In total, 43 players in the 60-player field are trusting Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for their success, more than seven times the nearest competitor with 6 and more than all other golf balls combined. This includes 9 players who will be teeing up the new Pro V1x prototype golf balls.

Titleist is also first in the irons (20), sand, lob and approach wedges (65) and putter (23) categories.

At the 2011 Nationwide Tour Championship, Pro V1 loyalist Ken Duke carded an eagle and a birdie at 6 and 7 to open up a lead which he never relinquished on his way to a two-stroke victory. This year Duke has made the most of his PGA Tour membership with six top-10 finishes.

Like Duke in last year's event, the field this week will be taking aim at pins in hopes their final score grants them the right to call themselves both a Web.com graduate and 2013 PGA Tour member.

Check out the slideshow above for a closer look at some action from around the course and on the range.

The 2012 PGA Tour season may be winding down, but that doesn't mean the Titleist R&D team is taking a break from designing the best performing products for the world’s best players.

Meet the new prototype Titleist 712U utility iron, which has been designed to deliver consistency and control to high-ball speed players.

On the worldwide professional tours, some players prefer a utility iron over a hybrid club as an alternative to traditional long irons. The 712U delivers increased playability versus a traditional long iron while providing enhanced spin and trajectory control versus a hybrid.

The prototype 712U is being sent to players this week for performance validation and feedback. We will also be on the range at the season ending PGA Tour Fall Series event at Disney in early November working with Titleist staff players.

The 712U is currently a Tour-only product, but the feedback we receive during this validation period will influence the final design and specifications, as well as determine the product's place in the Titleist club line-up.

Before the new prototypes headed out, we grabbed some photos of them in our Tour workshop. Be sure to check out the slideshow to get a first look at the prototype Titleist 712U utility irons.
