TPC Four Seasons Resort in Dallas plays host to the HP Byron Nelson Championship this week on the PGA Tour.

An event that was first contested in 1944, the Byron Nelson traditionally draws a deep field of talent, and this week 100 players in the field of 156 will trust a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 21 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist is also first in the sand, lob and approach wedge (138) and putter (55) categories.

Team Titleist was in "Big D" for the action earlier in the week, and canvassed the range with the Titleist Tour support team to check in with Titleist Brand Ambassadors and golf ball loyalists as they made their final preparations.

Check out the video above to go inside the ropes at TPC Four Seasons Resort with Team Titleist and see what Jason Dufner, Morgan Hoffmann, Ben Crane, Jason Bohn, Robert Streb, Martin Flores, and DJ Trahan (among others) were up to this week.

It’s a home game this week for the PGA Tour as The Players Championship gets underway on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

The Players Championship features one of the strongest fields in golf and this year 89 players in the field of 145 will trust a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 21 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist is also first in the sand, lob and approach wedge (130) and putter (46) categories.

Earlier in the week, Team Titleist was on-site to capture the action inside the ropes and on the range as Titleist Brand Ambassadors and golf ball loyalists made their final preparations.

Wether it's a rookie or veteran, in a playoff or a runaway, winning a tournament is what all golfers dream about. This weekend, eight players trusting a Titleist golf ball turned those dreams into reality by earning victories across the globe.

Adding these wins to the tally, Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x loyalists have now won 54 tournaments on the worldwide professional tours in 2013, nearly five times the nearest competitor with 11 and more than all other competitors combined.

In a weekend of global performance we saw PGA Tour rookie and Pro V1x loyalist Derek Ernst, who qualified as the fourth alternate at the Wells Fargo Championship, earn his first career PGA Tour victory while Titleist Brand Ambassador Brett Rumford trusted his Pro V1x golf ball to claim his second consecutive win on the European Tour, and on the LPGA Tour, Pro V1 loyalist Cristie Kerr prevailed in a playoff to capture her 16th career title.

At the Insperity Championship, Pro V1x loyalist Esteban Toledo became the first Mexican winner in Champions Tour history with his win and Pro V1x loyalist Brendan Todd earned his second career Web.com title at the Stadion Classic at UGA.

Completing the Titleist winner’s circle for the weekend, Titleist Brand Ambassadors Michio Matsumura (Winner – Chunichi Crowns), Bernd Wiesberger (Winner - CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters) and James Kingston (Winner - Investec Royal Swazi Open) all stood atop the leaderboards after the final putts had fallen.

This is Team Titleist, let’s wrap-up the week…

PGA: Wells Fargo Championship

Winner: Pro V1x loyalist Derek Ernst

On the 72nd hole, Ernst stood in the fairway knowing he needed to make birdie. He went on to hit his approach within feet of the hole.

"I was trying to hit it as close as I possibly could," Ernst said in the post-round interview. "Just kind of if I stuck to my game, then whatever happened, happened. If I win, great."

The 22-year old rookie went on to birdie the closing hole of regulation to close with a 2-under par 70 and an 8-under par 280, qualifying him for the playoff. Ernst then converted a par on the first hole of the sudden death playoff to enter the winner's circle.

"Yeah, this feeling is unbelievable right now. Just at the beginning of the week not even knowing I was going to be in the field," added Ernst. "I was fourth alternate last time I heard, and then a couple people dropped out so I got in. All week long it just felt really?? my swing felt good."

Ernst was playing only his ninth PGA Tour event and was No. 1,207 in the world ranking when he entered the field. The victory at Quail Hollow earns Ernst a two-year PGA Tour exemption, gets him into The PLAYERS Championship this week, and qualifies him for two World Golf Championships, the PGA Championship, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions next year at Kapalua and the Masters next April. And he also jumped to No. 123 in the latest World Golf Rankings.

Fellow Pro V1x loyalists Robert Karlsson and Lee Westwood tied for fourth place, two shots out of the playoff, as three of the top five finishers trusted Titleist golf balls for their success.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 156 with 106 players, more than five times the nearest competitor with 20. Titleist also was the overwhelming top choice in the sand, lob and approach wedges (154), and putter (61) categories.

EUROPEAN: Volvo China Open

Winner: Titleist Brand Ambassador Brett Rumford

Carrying the momentum from last week's win at the Ballantine's Championship, Rumford finished with a four-shot victory over fellow Pro V1x loyalist Mikko Ilonen. Rumford started the final round one shot clear of Ilonen, but thanks to a string of birdies, he closed with a 4-under par 68 and a 16-under 272 victory total.

Rumford, who won last week's event in South Korea in a sudden death playoff, now has five career European Tour victories and vaulted to the top of The Race to Dubai standings with this week's win. It marked the second runner-up finish of the year for Ilonen.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 150 with 102 players, more than five times the nearest competitor with 21. Titleist was also the top choice in the iron (53) and sand, lob and approach wedges (161) categories.

LPGA: Kingsmill Championship

Winner: Pro V1 loyalist Cristie Kerr

With a par on the second hole of a sudden death playoff, Kerr captured victory for the third time in her career at Kingsmill, which marked her 16th career LGPA title. Kerr closed with a 2-under par 69 and finished regulation at 12-under 272 to force the playoff.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 144 with 97 players, nearly nine times the nearest competitor with 11.

CHAMPIONS: Insperity Championship

Winner: Pro V1x loyalist Esteban Toledo

It was a three-way, all-Titleist Pro V1x playoff at the Insperity Championship, where Esteban Toledo topped Mike Goodes with a par on the third extra hole after the Gene Sauers had been eliminated on the second hole.

The 50-year-old Toledo, making his ninth start on the Champions Tour, eagled the opening hole of the final round and finished with a 5-under 67 to match Goodes and Sauers at 6-under 210.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 81 with 63 players, more than ten times the nearest competitor with 6. Titleist also was the top choice in the irons (17), sand, lob and approach wedges (50) and putter (16) categories.

WEB.COM: Stadion Classic at UGA

Winner: Pro V1x loyalist Brendon Todd

Todd earned his second career title, and his first since 2008, when steady rains forced the cancellation of the final round of the Stadion Classic at UGA and the tournament reverted back to the 54-hole standings. Todd’s 2-under par 69 on Saturday moved him to 8-under 205, one shot better than playing partner Tim Wilkinson (Pro V1x). Wilkinson matched his career-best finish, while Todd advanced to No. 4 on the Web.com money list with the win.
The University of Georgia Golf Course was determined to be unplayable by tournament officials after more than 2 ½ inches of rain fell in a 24-hour period.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 156 with 102 players, more than five times the nearest competitor with 19. Titleist also was the overwhelming top choice in the utility iron (16), iron (47) and sand, lob and approach wedges (144) categories.

JAPAN: Chunichi Crowns

Winner: Titleist Brand Ambassador Michio Matsumura

Michio Matsumura (Pro V1x, 913D2 driver, 913Hd hybrid, 712U 4-iron, AP2 irons, Vokey Design SM4 gap and lob wedges) closed with a 3-under par 67 to finish with a 2-under par 278 winning total. Matsumura began the final round two strokes off the pace, but the 29-year-old jumped into the lead with birdies on four of his first seven holes en route to the victory.

SOUTH AFRICA: Investec Royal Swazi Open

Winner: Titleist Brand Ambassador James Kingston

Kingston drained a clutch 12-foot putt in the sudden death playoff for the win, after accumulating 45 points in the modified Stableford system scoring format that awarded 8 points for an albatross, 5 for an eagle, 2 for a birdie, none for a par, and one point deducted for each bogey and three points deducted for a double bogey or worse. Titleist Pro V1x golf ball loyalists Darryn Lloyd and Mark Williams tied for third place, one point out of the playoff.

Charlotte, N.C. and Quail Hollow Club play host to the PGA Tour this week for the competition at the Wells Fargo Championship. With four months of the calendar year complete, this week's competition is another opportunity for players to enter the winners circle or accumulate FedExCup points.

Defending champion and Pro golf ball loyalist Rickie Fowler is among the top talent from around the world who make up the 156-player field. Last year Rickie punctuated his championship performance with a clutch shot and putt, in the first hole of a three-player playoff, to claim his first PGA Tour victory.

This year, 106 players in the field at Quail Hollow are relying on Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for their success, more than five times the nearest competitor with 20 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist is also first in sand, lob and approach wedges (154), and putter (61) categories.

Team Titleist had the cameras rolling this week at Quail Hollow to capture both the hard work and the fun that precedes the first tee shot when things get down to business Thursday morning. Click on the video above to step foot on the range and inside the ropes of the Wells Fargo Championship.

When Jason Dufner steps up to the first tee this week in New Orleans, he’ll be looking to defend his title as the 2012 Zurich Classic champion.

Last year, Jason trusted his Pro V1 golf ball and bag full of Titleist equipment to a number of clutch shots and huge putts - including a 44-foot par save on the 16th hole that helped get him into a playoff and eventually into the winner’s circle for the first time on the PGA Tour.

This win also kicked-off a string of very exciting weeks for Jason.

Six days later, Jason and his fiancée were happily married. And to put a punctuation mark on the festivities, Jason went out and captured another PGA Tour title by winning the HP Byron Nelson the following weekend.

To complete his 2012 résumé, Jason added eight top 10 finishes to his two victories and also played in the Ryder Cup where he compiled a 3-1 record as a first-time member of Team USA.

So, with all these firsts and major career milestones coming in 2012, Team Titleist was eager to check in with Jason to find out what motivates him each and every week and at what point he knew he could make it out on tour.

Watch the exclusive Team Titleist video above to hear what Jason had to say.

Masters champion and Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott has been playing Scotty Cameron putters for over a decade. After numerous trips to the Putter Studio, he and Scotty came up with exactly what he needed in his quest to find the perfect putter for his setup.

Following several rounds of design, Scotty crafted the Futura X Prototype specifically for Adam. A one-of-a-kind putter for a one-of-a-kind player. It provides the high MOI (Moment of Inertia) and path that Adam was seeking. While the design of the putter creates a high MOI, Scotty took the putter one step further by adding more stability to the face with perimeter weighting. High MOI combined with perimeter weighting gives this putter a unique feel and performance.

The putter is milled from aluminum and includes a balance bar and four tungsten weights that are positioned under four adjustable stainless steel weights in the far four corners of the putter for maximum MOI. The putter is 49″ in length, has a 79* lie angle and 3* of loft. The finish is called “Frozen Titanium” and helps knock down glare.

And as the buzz continues to build on the putting greens around the PGA Tour, Scotty and his team continue to design more Futura X Prototype concepts and variations for other players. Titleist Brand Ambassador Jason Dufner is one of the players who was recently taking one of these prototypes out for a test drive.

After trusting their Titleist golf ball to three championship performances on three continents Sunday, New 2013 Pro V1x loyalists Bernhard Langer, Angel Cabrera, and Jake Roos stood above the competition, trophies in hand.

Langer outpaced his competitors with a final round 5-under 67 to win the inaugural Greater Gwinnett Championship by three shots. Cabrera, a week removed from his runner-up finish in a playoff at the Masters, proved victorious in a one-hole playoff victory against Pro V1 loyalist Rafael Gomez at the 82 Abierto OSDE del Centro. And in South Africa, Roos earned his fifth career Sunshine Tour victory with a one-shot win at the Golden Pilsner Zimbabwe Open.

With three more victories, players trusting a Titleist golf ball have now won 43 tournaments on the worldwide professional tours in 2013, more than five times the nearest competitor with eight and more than all other competitors combined.

This is Team Titleist, let’s wrap-up the week…

CHAMPIONS: Greater Gwinnett Championship

Winner: Pro V1x loyalist Bernhard Langer

Playing the New 2013 Pro V1x golf ball for the first time in competition, Langer added the victory to his impressive Champions Tour campaign by finishing with a 10-under 206 victory total. Langer posted six birdies for his fifth top-three finish in six events. He also won the Ace Group Classic in February.

Titleist Pro V1 loyalist Tom Lehman, whose 67 included birdies on 17 and 18, tied for second at 7-under with Titleist Brand Ambassador Tom Pernice Jr. (Pro V1x). Pernice made a move with an eagle on No. 15 and added a birdie on 18 for a final round 70 helping Titleist players post a 1-2-3 finish.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 80 with 58 players, more than eight times the nearest competitor with 7. Titleist also was the overwhelming top choice in the irons (20) and wedge (59) categories.

It was the fourth top-10 finish in seven starts this year for Salas.

Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the field of 144 with 95 players, more than seven times the nearest competitor with 13.

FAIRHAVEN, Mass. – Titleist adds a new option in long game performance with the introduction of 712U, a forged utility iron that provides high speed, traditional blade iron players with improved playability and shot control.

Engineered with a deep center of gravity (CG) position for a higher moment of inertia (MOI), Titleist 712U delivers increased stability and playability versus a traditional long iron while providing enhanced trajectory and spin control versus a hybrid.

A result of extensive research and tour player testing conducted by the Titleist Golf Club R&D team, 712U features a wider, camber sole design that promotes clean turf interaction and is effective for a variety of attack angles, making the club more versatile when trying to hit high or low shots. 712U also uses a tapered-tip iron shaft for additional trajectory control.

712U utilizes a forged, hollow body 1025 steel construction with a high-speed 455 steel face insert to provide the performance, looks and feel that have made Titleist irons the No. 1 choice of players across the worldwide professional tours.

Offered in 2-iron (18º), 3-iron (21º) and 4-iron (24º) lofts, 712U utility irons are available by custom order beginning May 15.

First introduced on the PGA Tour late last year, 712U is already the most played utility iron model on the PGA Tour through the first 14 events of the 2013 season. 712U models can currently be found in the bags of tour pros like Adam Scott (2-iron), Tim Clark (4-iron) and Geoff Ogilvy (2-iron) – players who prefer a utility iron over a hybrid as an alternative to traditional long irons.

“I don’t like the look of hybrids, but the 712U (2-iron) looks great at address,” said Ogilvy. “It is a bit stronger than a 2-iron, it goes farther than a 2-iron and it’s easy to hit. It feels great, performs how I need it to, and I like having it in my bag.”

“During the development of 712U, we worked closely with our tour players to design a utility iron that delivers a great combination of consistency and control,” said Steve Pelisek, General Manager, Titleist Golf Clubs. “The deeper CG results in a higher MOI that increases stability at impact, helping players achieve more consistent distance and trajectory control, whether hitting shots high or low.

“With the 712U being so well received out on tour, we decided to make the club available through custom order for those players that need or prefer this type of long game yardage and trajectory solution,” Pelisek said.

The 712U has a traditional profile with a rounded back design that is preferred in the address position over cavity back long irons with more offset. Players will gain added confidence at address from a club head that is slightly larger than the 2-iron, 3-iron and 4-iron Titleist MB and CB (712 Series) models.

The club is chrome plated and features a satin finish.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: The new Titleist 712U is available by custom order only beginning May 15 with a suggested base retail price of $235 (MAP: $209) with a steel shaft and $259 (MAP: $229) with a graphite shaft. Custom up-charges may apply.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• IMPROVED LONG IRON product for the high speed, traditional blade iron player.

• DISTANCE WITH CONTROL from the forged, hollow body construction with a high-speed steel face insert.

• INCREASED STABILITY versus traditional blade irons from the deep CG that provides a higher MOI.

• IMPROVED GROUND INTERACTION from the camber sole design that accommodates various attack angles.

• PREFERRED LOOKS AND FEEL from the traditional profile, rounded back design and forged construction.

Following the season’s first major is never an easy act to follow but the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links always delivers.

A talented list of competitors annually makes the trip to Harbour Town Golf Links, and this year is no different. 144 of the world's best players will compete shot-for-shot along the shores of Hilton Head Island, in hopes of seeing their name atop the leaderboard on Sunday evening as the sun sets on the iconic red-and-white lighthouse. And of course, wearing the champion's plaid jacket.

And with the Sir William Innes trophy and 500 FedExCup points on the line, the overwhelming majority of players at Harbour Town Golf Links have once again put their trust in Titleist. 91 players in the field of 144 are relying on Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 20 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist is also first in sand, lob and approach wedges (145), and putter (50) categories.

Camera in hand, Team Titleist spent the earlier part of the week following Titleist Brand Ambassadors Marc Leishman, Jason Dufner, Tim Clark (to name a few), as they prepared to hit the links.

Most players don't like to make too many equipment changes before a major, but after working closely with the team on the Titleist Tour Van, Adam put a new driver in his bag - the new Titleist 913D3.

To get the scoop, Team Titleist checked in with Titleist Tour Representative Chris Tuten.

"We were on the range at the Tampa Bay Championship a few weeks ago with Adam and working through a number of different options to help optimize launch, flight and distance with the driver," said Tuten.

"At the end of the session, we built Adam a new 913D3 9.5º driver with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8, X flex graphite shaft at 44.75" and dialed it in with the A•1 (neutral) SureFit Tour Hosel setting."

With the new driver in-hand, Adam set off to work on putting the club through its paces.

Following several practice rounds leading up to the Masters, Adam was full of confidence in his new driver.

"Adam was really happy with the performance of the 913D3. He was getting a higher ball flight without increased spin and seeing longer carry distance - which would be beneficial to him at Augusta National and going forward," added Tuten.

The new 913D3 made its tournament debut in Adam's bag at the Masters, and it routinely set him up for birdie chances throughout the week.

His solid driving was crucial in shooting a back-nine 33 to get him into the playoff, which he won in dramatic fashion.

Here is another quick look at the specs on Adam's new driver...

Model: Titleist 913D3
Loft: 9.5º
Shaft: Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8
Flex: X flex
Length: 44.75"

A few weeks ago, Team Titleist had the chance to catch up with Adam Scott at the WGC Cadillac Championship at Doral, and we just happened to ask him a couple of questions about the Masters.

Lucky for us, we had the camera rolling and the audio taping.

Check out the video above to hear what Adam had to say about what he was looking forward to the most at Augusta.

Congratulations, Adam, on a well deserved win.

Next question: what's on the menu for the champions dinner next year?

"Something special happens to every player there, every year."

This is what Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott had to say a few weeks ago when Team Titleist asked him about his fondest memories at The Masters.

And after a stunning performance on Sunday that featured Adam rolling his new 2013 Pro V1 golf ball into the cup for a couple of clutch birdies that will go down in Masters history, we have a feeling that the memories from this year will certainly stand out as he claimed his first major crown, donned the green jacket and became the first Australian to win The Masters.

"Golf is a big sport at home, and this is the one thing in golf we hadn't been able to achieve. It's amazing that it's my destiny to be the first Australian to win. It's incredible," said Scott.

Scott, who led the field in Greens in Regulation (77%), converted a 20-foot putt for birdie on the final hole of regulation, only to watch fellow Titleist golf ball loyalist Angel Cabrera (New 2013 Pro V1x) nearly hole his approach shot for a tap-in birdie and force the extra session.

Replaying the 18th as the first hole of the playoff, both players got up and down for par with close chip shots. On the second extra hole, the 10th at Augusta National, Cabrera's 15-foot putt for birdie just missed, setting up Scott's heroics. As daylight fell, Scott drained a dramatic 12-footer for birdie and the historic win.

Scott, playing with fellow countryman and Titleist Brand Ambassador Marc Leishman (New 2013 Pro V1x golf ball, Titleist 913D2 driver (9.5º), 913Fd fairway metal (15.0º), 712U 2-iron, AP 3-4 irons. MB 5-9 irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled pitching (48º), Spin Milled TVD sand (54º) and lob (58º) wedges, Scotty Cameron by Titleist Tour Rat 2 prototype putter) in the next to last group, made his only bogey on the first hole, closing with a 3-under par 69. Cabrera, playing in the final group, posted a final round 2-under 70, as both players finished regulation in 9-under 279. Cabrera was the only participant to shoot four consecutive rounds under par (71-69-69-70). Leishman tied for 4th, four shots out of the playoff, and his best finish in a major championship.

WHAT'S IN THE BAG FOR 2013 MASTERS CHAMPION ADAM SCOTT:

Golf Ball: New 2013 Titleist Pro V1 golf ball
Driver: Titleist 913D3 (9.5º) driver with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-8 X-flex shaft
Fairway Metal: Titleist 910Fd (15º) fairway metal with a Rombax Pro 95 X-flex shaft
Utility Iron: Titleist 712U (2) and MB (3-9) irons with KBS Tour steel shafts
Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM4 pitching (48º), Spin Milled sand (54º) and SM4 TVD lob (60º) wedges with KBS Tour shafts

EQUIPMENT COUNTS: Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the limited-field of 93 with 52 players, more than four times the nearest competitor with 12. Titleist also was the overwhelming top choice in the iron (19) and wedge (83) categories. The win is the sixth by Titleist golf ball players on the 2013 PGA TOUR, more than any other competitor.

EQUIPMENT NOTES FROM THE TOUR: Scott played the new Titleist 913D3 driver for the first time in competition this week. He switched from the Titleist 910D3 driver and all of his specifications remained the same. Scott stayed with 9.5º of loft, an A-1 (neutral) SureFit Tour Hosel setting and Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8, X flex graphite shaft. Adam worked with Titleist Tour Representative Chris Tuten on the Wednesday of the Tampa Bay Championship to dial in a precision fit. Adam did not put the 913D3 driver into play in Tampa, preferring to work with it during his preparation weeks leading up to the Masters. Adam came to Augusta ready to put it in play and was extremely confident in his performance with it following several practice rounds. Scott cited that he was getting a higher, longer ball flight with the new driver which would be beneficial to him at Augusta National and going forward.

Scott also put a refined Scotty Cameron by Titleist Futura X prototype putter in the bag this week. He has been working with Cameron since December on the new long putter that provides the high MOI (Moment of Inertia) and path that Scott was seeking. While the design of the putter creates a high MOI, Cameron took the putter one step further by adding more stability to the face with perimeter weighting. High MOI combined with perimeter weighting gives this putter a very unique feel and performance. The putter is made out of aluminum and includes a balance bar and four tungsten weights that are positioned under four adjustable stainless steel weights in the far four corners of the putter for maximum MOI. The putter is 49" in length, has a 79º lie angle and 3º of loft.

NOTEWORTHY: The win is the ninth official victory of Adam Scott's PGA Tour career (he also won the 2005 Nissan Open that was reduced to 36 holes) ... A true global player, the victory also marks Scott's 20th win worldwide as a professional ... Scott, who has made 10 cuts in 12 career starts at the Masters, posted his third consecutive Top 10 finish at Augusta (2013/1, 2012/T8, 2011/T2) and fourth overall (2002/T9) ... Scott has played in five PGA Tour events in 2013, making the cut in each, while posting three Top 10 finishes ... He has finished in the top 15 in each of his last six starts in major championships ... Cabrera won the 2009 Masters in a three-way playoff ... In addition to Scott, Cabrera and Leishman, three other golf ball loyalists (Lee Westwood/T8, John Huh/T11, Tim Clark/T11) finished among the top 12 and earned a return visit to the 2014 Masters ... Clark, who posted a 5-under 67 on Saturday for low third round of the tournament, is also a Titleist Brand Ambassador who relies upon the New 2013 Pro V1, 913D3 driver, 913F fairway metal, 712U 4 iron, CB irons, Vokey Design SM4 pitching, sand and lob wedges.
