Last week saw the launch of the 2025 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x at the Shriners Children’s Open.
The ball has been the No. 1 ball in the game since it was released on the same TPC Summerlin course in 2000 when Billy Andrade, using the new Pro V1, won by one shot over Phil Mickelson.
We look at how Titleist continues to make a high-performance, game-changing golf ball even better through extensive feedback, research and development, testing, advanced manufacturing technology and validation by the world’s best players.
75+ – The number of participants in Titleist’s R&D team, many of whom have advanced degrees in fields such as chemistry, mechanical engineering, material science, aerodynamics, physics, mathematics and statistics
2 – A number of Titleist testing centers, one at the Titleist Performance Center on Manchester Lane in Acushnet, Massachusetts and the Titleist Performance Institute in California.
20,000 – The number of data points collected on a typical day totals up to more than five million per year. Every shot is checked to ensure accuracy
34 – Number of patents that went into the design of the original Pro V1 with over 125 patents that have been used in subsequent generations of Pro V1 and Pro V1x
1500+ – A number of golf ball patents line the walls of the R&D department
2500+ – A number of dimple patterns designed, manufactured and tested to improve flight and distance
90+ – The number of quality checks that every Pro V1 must pass while the dual core Pro V1x must pass more than 120
97,000 – The number of Pro V1 and Pro V1x models played in competition on the PGA Tour is more than six times the total number of golf balls of the nearest competitor
