The new 2023 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls made their PGA Tour debut last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship a week earlier than expected.
Titleist’s tour seeding and validation process for 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x had been scheduled to begin this week at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas.
In the days leading up to Sanderson Farms, however, Titleist tour reps received multiple requests from Garrick Higgo, M.J. Daffue and Gary Woodland asking to put the new balls in play.
The final 2023 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototypes, manufactured at Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Mass., were delivered overnight and arrived Tuesday morning at The Country Club of Jackson in Titleist’s white box prototype packaging.
Expect that the tour van will be stocked this week at the Shiners and that more tour testing will take place. You will also be able to follow along as THPers go through an extensive ball fitting next week at Club Champion HQ with the Titleist Golf Ball team.
