PGA TOUR | Travelers Championship 

The Travelers Championship ended with a 1-2-3-4 finish for Titleist golf ball players on the final leaderboard:

• It’s the fifth straight victory on the PGA TOUR for Titleist golf ball players, with seven of the top-eight finishers at TPC River Highlands gaming a Pro V1 or Pro V1x.
• In total, Titleist golf ball players have now won 21 times this season. 

GT DRIVER ADOPTION CONTINUES; 6 OF TOP-12 GAME GT DRIVERS AT TRAVELERS; KIM, YOUNG, HARMAN HAVE BEST DRIVING ROUNDS OF ‘24 

• The NEW Titleist GT drivers made their PGA TOUR debut three weeks ago at the Memorial Tournament, where 13 players made the immediate switch to the new GT2, GT3 and GT4 models at the 73-player Signature Event.
• The following week at the U.S. Open, 19 players had a GT driver in the bag. 
• The rapid adoption continued this week at the Travelers, as four more players made the move to GT drivers, including reigning Open champion Brian Harman, Lee Hodges, this season’s Mexico Open winner and the World’s 53rd-ranked player (heading into the event).
• Of the 71-player field, there were 30 Titleist drivers (42%), more than any other competitor – and 18 of them were GT2, GT3 or GT4 models: 
• Playing his NEW GT2 10.0° driver, Brian Harman finished the week second in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, gaining more than five shots on the field (+5.086) while recording his two best driving rounds of the year – on Sunday (+1.888) and Friday (+1.610). 
• Tom Kim, who made the immediate move to his NEW GT3 9.0° driver at the Memorial, also had his best driving round of the year Sunday at Travelers.
• Facing off against the World No. 1 in the final group, Kim gained a season-best 1.903 strokes off the tee while hitting a season-best 13 fairways (92.86%), posting a back-nine 31 to make the playoff. 
• On Saturday, Cameron Young became the 12th player in PGA TOUR history to shoot a sub-60 round – and he did so with his best Strokes Gained: Driving round of the season (+2.552) playing his NEW GT3 9.0° driver.
• Since putting GT3 in play at Memorial, Young has seen an increase in ball speed with improved spin numbers, according to J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist Director of Player Promotions.
• Since Memorial, Young has also adjusted his SureFit settings, moving from D•1 (-.75* loft, Std lie) and T•1 (Fade) at Memorial to A•1 (Standard) and Neutral this week in Hartford.
• The adjustment helped stabilize his flight and dial in the right spin and launch directions, Van Wezenbeeck said. 
• The World’s 53rd-ranked player (heading into Travelers), who made the move to a NEW GT2 this week from a competitive model, also had his best driving round of the year Sunday, with 1.704 strokes gained off the tee. 
• GT drivers also launched this week on the DP World Tour at the KLM Open.
• Titleist was the most played driver at the event, with 60 in play (39%) compared to 43 for the nearest competitor.
• Twenty-eight players made the immediate move to a GT model, including Titleist Brand Ambassador Marcus Kinhult, who put a GT3 9.0° driver in the bag before finishing T2 in a sudden-death playoff.   

14 VOKEY WEDGES AMONG TRAVELERS TOP 4 

• Ten of the top-12 finishers on the final leaderboard at TPC River Highlands played at least one Vokey wedge, including each of the top four, who all gamed a full set of Vokeys:

CAMERON YOUNG SHOOTS 59 

• Titleist Brand Ambassador Cameron Young made history on Saturday, shooting just the 13th ever sub-60 round on the PGA TOUR.
• Young, playing a Pro V1 Left Dot golf ball and 14 Titleist clubs, including his NEW GT3 driver and GT2 fairway, began the day with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 1 and 2.
