Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x golf balls (2025)
Titleist updated the cores of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x to give them more iron and wedge spin while maintaining distance off the tee.
Anytime Titleist releases a new product, it's a big deal in the golf world. When Titleist releases a driver...it's an event.
The new Titleist GT1 driver dropped earlier this year, along with accompanying fairway woods and hybrids.
As is often the case when a new golf club gets released, it is not available to the public until weeks after the announcement. Luckily for golf fans everywhere, the Titleist GT1 is available in stores now.
Extremely lightweight, the GT1 was designed to increase swing speed and add forgiveness, helping with both distance and control off the tee.

Titleist drivers are trusted by Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Wyndham Clark, Russell Henley, Ludvig Aberg and so many more players on the PGA Tour.
Here's what Golfweek equipment guru David Dusek had to say in his initial Titleist GT1 review:
"Titleist enhanced the aerodynamics, used new materials and designed the GT1 to create a higher launch that maximizes carry distance for golfers who need more height off the tee...Titleist designed the GT1 with a slightly higher crown piece and lifted the back section of the sole to make the head slip through the air more efficiently, as it did with the other GT drivers. And to keep the center of gravity low, designers used a thermoform polymer crown. It weighs less than titanium, but it is extremely strong, so the GT1 gets the benefits of better aerodynamics without elevating the center of gravity. In fact, the GT1 has the deepest center of gravity of any Titleist driver, and that results in it creating more spin and a higher launch angle."
The new GT1 driver, fairway woods and hybrids are available for men and women.

How much is St. Andrews worth to the Scottish economy? The dollar figure is shocking
How much is St. Andrews worth to the Scottish economy? The dollar figure is shocking Visitors traveling to St. Andrews to play golf are worth the equivalent of hosting three Open Championships in Scotland every year, according to new research. The study by the Sport Industry Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University found that visitors and their families who come to play the Old Course and six others managed by St. Andrews Links Trust generate about $430 million annually for the Scottish economy. This supports 4,300 full-time jobs across the country. Researchers calculated the amount visitors spent directly on golf in St. Andrews as well as on hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and local travel providers. St. Andrews Links - whose other courses include the New, Jubilee, Castle, Eden, Balgove and Strathtyrum courses - welcomes an average of 2,000 playing visitors every week. Around 72% of those visitors come from overseas, with the USA (40%) and Canada (6%) being the key markets. A further 28% of visits were from the UK, with the remaining 26% coming from elsewhere. Across visitors from all locations, 84% said they were 'likely or very likely' to return in the future. More: Golfweek's Best 2025: The top 50 classic courses in Great Britain and Ireland 'This is the first such study looking solely at the impact of golf in St. Andrews on the town and the wider Scottish economy," said Neil Coulson, chief executive of St. Andrews Links Trust. 'It clearly shows the massive impact on the town and that our visitors are delivering a boost to communities across Scotland each and every year. This impact has probably been undervalued in the past. 'The unique place that St. Andrews holds as the lifeblood and source of the sport means that both golfers and non-golfers want to come here and experience this place for themselves. But this only works if we continue to invest in our facilities and in ensuring we strive for excellence in customer experience.' St. Andrews Links Trust is a charity with all of its revenue reinvested into the sport, facilities and in community initiatives across the region. For every $1 that passes through the tills of St. Andrews Links from visitors, an additional $4.65 is generated for other businesses in the town. "Scotland has a proud reputation as the birthplace of the game and St. Andrews is home to many links courses, not least the Old Course, which are the envy of the world," Scottish Business Minister Richard Lochhead said. "This report hits home the scale of the benefits we all reap from the trust's courses, alongside the broader impact of golf tourism, which boosts the economy by £300 million every year and supports around 5,000 jobs. "I commend the Trust for all it does to sustain and grow the game and I'm looking forward to the return of The Open to St Andrews in 2027, which, backed by Scottish Government funding, will further increase our standing as a first-class host of major events." Of the 283,000 rounds played on the seven St. Andrews Links courses in 2023, 152,000 (54%) were played by visitors to St. Andrews. More than half of visitors combined their St. Andrews Links trip with a visit to another iconic layout in Scotland, the most popular being Kingsbarns (29%), Carnoustie (25%), Dumbarnie (15%) and Crail (14%). Vicki Miller, chief executive of VisitScotland, added: 'This comprehensive study showcases the important role golf plays in Scotland's visitor economy, with St. Andrews standing at the heart of this as a globally recognised asset. 'Scotland continues to be the destination of choice for golfers worldwide, and beyond the course, our renowned hospitality, culture, and heritage offer a truly distinctive and enriching experience for all who visit. We welcome this research, which reinforces Scotland's reputation as a world-leading tourism and events destination.' Professor Simon Shibli, from Sheffield Hallam University, said: 'Economic impact studies tend to look at the effects of one-off major sport events. For St. Andrews Links Trust we have had the opportunity to investigate the economic impact of a permanent year-round golf business. "Using gold standard methods to interview over 2,400 golfers, our research reveals a significant asset to the Scottish economy, which has arguably not been fully appreciated. St. Andrews Links Trust is not only a thriving business in its own right, it is also a catalyst for considerable tourism and employment benefits.'

Golfweek to host first Division II tourney with exemption into PGA Tour event this fall
Golfweek to host first Division II tourney with exemption into PGA Tour event this fall A historic event is coming to Division II college golf this fall. Golfweek is set to host the 2025 Fripp Island to Bermuda Invite, Oct. 19-21, a 54-hole, stroke-play event featuring some of the top Division II men's golf teams in the country. The event will be contested at Fripp Island's Ocean Point Golf Course in Fripp Island, South Carolina. Even bigger, the medalist of the Fripp Island to Bermuda Invite will receive an exemption into the PGA Tour's event in Bermuda, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, which takes place three weeks later. It's a historic exemption, as it's believed to be the first Division II tournament in college golf history to offer a direct exemption into a PGA Tour event. 'The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is thrilled to extend an exemption to the winner of this year's Fripp Island to Bermuda Invite," said Danielle Carrera, the tournament director at the Butterfield. "We pride ourselves on providing opportunities for the next generation of professional golfers. This collegiate event does just that, opening the door for more of the best amateurs in the world to compete on the PGA Tour stage. We look forward to welcoming the 2025 champion to Bermuda this fall." The 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship is the penultimate event on the PGA Tour's 2025 schedule and is set for Nov. 13-16 at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda. The practice round at the Fripp Island to Bermuda Invite will take place Oct. 19. The first two rounds will be contested Oct. 20, with carts being allowed for contestants, while the final 18 holes will take place Oct. 21, and players will walk in the final round. "Very excited to see the Fripp Island Ocean Course," Golfweek tournament director Lance Ringler said. "I've heard nothing but great things about the renovation. And to have some of the best D-II programs participate with the individual winner getting a spot in a PGA Tour field is going to make for a great couple of days of college golf." The current field of 13 teams, with room for two more, is as follows (rankings from final 2024-25 ranking):
