    Hey Team Titleist,

    With the FedExCup Playoffs underway, we caught up with Brand Ambassador Will Zalatoris in Memphis this week to take a peek at what he's gaming for his championship push.

    The leader in strokes gained approach at 1.01, Will has put on a ball striking display in 2022, ranking second in strokes gained ball striking as well on tour. Also picking up extra distance off the tee, he has added over four yards of driving distance this year, and is averaging over 300 yards with driver in his hand.

    Golf Ball: Titleist Pro V1  
    Driver: NEW TSR3 8.0° | Fujikura Speeder 661 TR X
    Fairway Metal: NEW TSR2+ 13° | Fujikura Ventus 8 Blue X

    Winner, winner chicken dinner. What a playoff. The "Will" to win after being a bridesmaid four times. Am so happy for him. A big "congratulations" for our Titleist Ambassador. Yes! his putter definitely was his salvation under pressure. =)

    So glad he finally got the win under his belt. Has been knocking on the door for a while now, and I feel like this will open the floodgates

    What a win! Another thing to note is how much a role his caddie played with the decision to take the ball back to the drop zone instead of playing off the rock. Zalatoris admitted his 25 year old self would have went for the chip on the rocks rather than the drop; his caddie took the sensible route and reminded Zalatoris to trust his short game versus the miracle shot.

    Not all Titleist Ambassadors are playing a full bag of the latest equipment, i.e. Cameron Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Jordan Speith, as listed on this site under tour players. Patrick Cantlay plays 718AP2 irons (TS3D, 915F, TS2F, 2 SM7s and 1 SM9) and Jordan Speith also plays T100 2019 models (TSi3D, TS2F). This is not uncommon among tour players. They play what they hit the best. Guess Will likes the feel and the performance. As they say, no need to fix something that ain't broken. Cheers. =)
