The Titleist journey began with a missed putt in 1932, inspiring Phil Young to create the highest quality golf ball. Young and Bommer’s dedication led to the perfection of the first Titleist golf ball in 1935, marked by the enduring practice of x-raying every ball for quality. Titleist’s R&D team, with a diverse skill set, continually innovates, holding over 1,600 patents, and all Titleist golf balls are proudly manufactured in Massachusetts for over 85 years.
The iconic Titleist script, born in 1935, stems from Helen Robinson’s beautiful penmanship, becoming a globally recognized mark. Young and Bommer’s focus on product quality, exclusive distribution through golf professionals, and innovative strategies, like the “most played” approach, propelled Titleist to become the #1 ball in golf. Titleist’s Pro V1, introduced in 2000, stands as the most successful piece of golf equipment, dominating professional tours and the marketplace with unparalleled performance in distance and short game.
