<p>This week's DP World Tour Championship is a momentous tournament on the European Tour not only because it's the last event of the season, but also because it's tour seeding week for the new prototype Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.</p>

<p>Seeding of the new 2017 Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototype golf balls began on the PGA Tour two weeks ago, at the <a href="/teamtitleist/b/tourblog/archive/2016/11/01/day-1-pro-v1-and-pro-v1x-prototype-tour-validation-shriners">Shriners Hospitals for Children Open</a>. This week, it's the European Tour's turn as dozens of white box prototypes have arrived in Dubai. Our European Leadership team is on site to give us a sneak peak of what they have been seeing during the first couple of days of action.</p>

<p>Stay tuned for more updates coming soon and thank you to Team Titleist UK for sharing these images from inside the ropes!</p>
