Titleist is the Top Choice at the Sanderson Farms Championship

PGA TOUR | Sanderson Farms Championship

Titleist was the overwhelming choice of players at the Country Club of Jackson, where PGA TOUR rookies and Titleist Brand Ambassadors Cameron Young (T2) and Hayden Buckley (T4), along with Pro V1 loyalist Sahith Theegala (T8), earned the best finishes of their only two-events-old TOUR careers.

  • A total of 104 players (72%) teed up a Titleist Pro V1Pro V1x or Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball, more than six times the nearest competitor (16/11%);
  • Titleist was the most played driver (44 players), with Titleist TSi3 being the most played driver model at the event (32).
  • Titleist was the #1 hybrid at the event, with TSi2 being the most played model.
  • Titleist irons were in the bags of 41 players – with T100 models being the field favorites – compared to 22 for the nearest competitor;
  • There were more Vokey Design gap, sand and lob wedges in play at the Sanderson Farms Championship than all other brands combined.

NEW T100, T200 IRONS ARE TOP CHOICE

  • For the second straight week to start the 2021-22 season, NEW Titleist T100 irons were the most played iron model on the PGA TOUR, and NEW T200 (Utility Build) models were the most popular utility iron.
  • The longstanding No. 1 iron on TOUR, Titleist was the overall most played iron brand in Mississippi with 41 (29%) players, while more than half of the utility irons in play (55%) were Titleist.

CAMERON YOUNG ADDS TSi 7-WOOD, T200 4-iron

  • Prior to the start of the new season, Cameron Young visited the Titleist Performance Institute to dial-in the gaps at the long end of his set, having recently replaced his T100 3-iron with a TSi2 21.0° fairway wood at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship.
  • As a result, in working with Titleist’s Director of Players Promotions J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Young moved from a 5-wood (TSi3 18.0°) to a 4-wood (TSi3 16.5°) and replaced his T100 4-iron with a T200 (Utility Build) (Utility Build) 4-iron.
  • Said Van Wezenbeeck: “Cameron loved the height that the TSi2 7-wood gave him, but it created a gapping issue with his TSi3 5-wood. Prior to adding the 7-wood, he had gone driver, 5-wood, 3-iron.
  • We replaced the 5-wood with a TSi3 4-wood, and then moved him from a T100 4-iron to the T200 utility model, which gave him the extra height and distance he needed there.”
