By Zack R., Team Titleist Staff On Yesterday Balls Tour Clubs

LPGA | ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open

Adding to a historic summer campaign, Titleist Brand Ambassador Lottie Woad won on the LPGA in her professional debut, earning a decisive three-shot victory in Scotland.

  • The 21-year-old, gaming her 2025 Pro V1 golf ball and a setup that includes her TSR3 driver, GT2 fairway, T150 irons and Vokey Design SM10 wedges, shot rounds of 67-65-67-68 to post 21 under.
  • Over the past two months, the former No. 1-ranked amateur has been on a run to remember.
  • She earned low amateur honors at the U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills before winning the KMPG Women’s Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour by six shots.
  • She then finished one shot out of a playoff (T3 result) at the Amundi Evian Championship, and in doing so, officially earned her LPGA card through the newly established LEAP (LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway) initiative.
  • After just four rounds as a professional, Woad has broken through on the LPGA as a champion, beating out a strong field at Dundonald Links.
  • She hit 41 of 56 fairways (73%) and 61 of 72 greens in regulation (85%) over the course of the week.

WOAD ON HER 2025 PRO V1 GOLF BALL

  • Woad’s stellar summer performances this year have all come with her 2025 Pro V1 golf ball, which she immediately moved to in January having seen speed gains and added spin with her scoring clubs.
  • “I was in the 2023 Pro V1, and then I got I got fitted [for 2025 Pro V1] in January this year and then put it straight into play,” she said. “It was a very easy transition as it was flying in the window I like but with a little bit more speed and a little bit more spin, which is always nice.”
  • “I feel like I can flight the ball really well into the wind as well, so it felt like there were some definite improvements. (...) With the Pro V1 I know I can execute all the shots I want to. I know it’s going to perform exactly how I need it to.”

WOAD’S VOKEY SM10 WEDGE SETUP: BUILT FOR VERSATILITY

  • Lottie Woad won her maiden LPGA title with three Vokey Design SM10 wedges in the bag: 50.08F, 54.10S, WedgeWorks 58.06K. 
  • Each wedge in Woad’s setup is designed around a specific need, as is the case for the Vokey setups of many of the game’s best wedge players.

  • According to Vokey Tour Rep Shane Dyel, Woad’s 50-degree is used for full shots and longer chip shots, with the 8-degree F Grind best fitting her needs from distance and greenside.
  • Woad unlocks plenty of versatility around the greens and on full shots from her 54-degree S Grind, which gives her the best launch and spin consistency week-to-week across a variety of conditions.
  • Lastly, Woad is gaming a 58-degree .06K Grind, which gives her tremendous turf interaction to maximize spin and control and optimize flight.
  • The .06K affords her the ability to hit low, spinning shots around the greens as well as manufacture higher and softer shots on command. 
  • The .06K Grind in the bags of some of the world’s best, including the men’s World No. 1, who won the 2025 PGA Championship and 153rd Open Championship while gaming his SM10 60.06K lob wedge.

WOAD ADDS NEW T150 5-IRON

  • Woad made a subtle setup tweak for her professional debut at the top end of her iron setup.
  • Seeking higher flight with her 5-iron, she added a NEW T150 to her bag after seeing more launch and spin with a steeper landing angle from the new model. 
  • Increased long-iron launch was one of the primary design goals with the newest generation of T-Series irons.
  • NEW T150 irons feature an improved muscle channel from 7-iron up, which lowers CG and promotes faster ball speeds and higher launch, while a new Variable Face Thickness design also improves speed and launch conditions across the face.

PGA TOUR | 3M Open

The winner of the 3M Open claimed his second career PGA TOUR title gaming a setup that included his GT3 driver, GT1 fairways, Vokey Design SM10 wedges and Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 tour prototype putter.

  • For the week at TPC Twin Cities, he gained 1.710 strokes on the field off the tee (23rd), 1.849 strokes around the green (11th) and 0.781 putting (37th).
  • He also ranked 7th in Putts per GIR (1.62) and 4th in Feet of Putts Made.

Driver: GT3 11.0° | Graphite Design Tour AD VF-7 TX 
Fairway Metals: GT1 3Tour 14.5° | Graphite Design Tour AD DI-7 X  and GT1 21.0° | Graphite Design Tour AD DI-9 X

3M CHAMP DIALED WITH GT3 DRIVER

  • Having played a competitive driver and fairways for the past several seasons, the 3M Open champion made an off-season trip to the Titleist Performance Institute, where he got dialed into a GT3 11.0° driver (Graphite Design Tour AD VF-7 TX).
  • When he arrived in Hawaii to start his 2025 season, he did so with his new driver as well as two GT2 fairways, three Vokey Design SM10 wedges and a Scotty Cameron putter.
  • The 32-year-old has stuck with the same driver setup all year, which has given him greater spin consistency and control over shot shape.
  • With GT3 in the bag, he has risen to 12th on TOUR in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (+0.519) and 7th in Driving Distance in 2025. 
  • GT drivers were also used to win this week on the Korn Ferry Tour’s NV5 Invitational (Johnny Keefer, GT2), the PGA Tour Americas’ Ottawa Open (GT2), the U.S. Junior Amateur (GT2) and the Pacific Coast Amateur (GT3).
  • Lottie Woad won on the LPGA with her TSR3 driver, as did the winner of the Senior Open. 

WINNER GAMES GT1 3TOUR 3-WOOD, GT1 7-WOOD

  • While this week’s winner began his season with GT2 fairways in the bag, he eventually settled on a GT1 3Tour 14.5° fairway and a GT1 21.0 fairway to round out the top end of his bag.
  • The GT1 3Tour, which was recently introduced as an addition to the GT metalwood family, is packaged in GT1’s shallow fairway profile and delivers high launch and stability.
  • However, a stronger loft – 14.5 degrees – and lower center of gravity from its multi-material construction drive down spin compared to standard GT1 fairways.
  • Said JJ Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist's Senior Director of Club Promotions, on the inspiration behind the GT1 3Tour: “Tour feedback is incredibly valuable, so we involve our players in testing for all products — even those that may be designed with a different player in mind. During GT1 fairway testing, we found some tour players really loved the shaping and face height, but we knew that many of them would need a little less loft and lower CG for a stronger flight. Tom Bennett [Principal Product Manager, Titleist Metalwood R&D] and the R&D team were able to give us a product in GT1 3Tour that gave us all the benefits of the GT1 shaping while lowering spin to a more optimal window for those players. Since bringing it out on tour, we’ve seen strong adoption from several players who like a shallow, easy-to-launch design, but need a little less spin.”
  • The champion made a tweak to his GT1 3Tour setup earlier this week, working with Titleist reps to improve strike location.
  • They eventually moved from a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-8 TX shaft to the lighter, slightly softer Graphite Design Tour AD DI-7 X.
  • With a one-shot lead on the 72nd hole and the tournament on the line, the champion pulled his GT1 3Tour 3-wood.
  • He striped his tee shot 315 yards down the fairway of the water-guarded, 591-yard par-5 18th hole, which helped set up a winning par. 

CHAMPION GAINS WITH VOKEY SM10 WEDGE SETUP, SCOTTY CAMERON STUDIO STYLE PROTOTYPE PUTTER

  • The 3M Open winner brought three Vokey Design SM10 wedges to the winner’s circle on Sunday: 52.12F, 56.14F, WedgeWorks 60K*.
  • He finished 11th in Strokes Gained: Around the Green (+1.849).
  • While he has trusted a Vokey Design lob wedge for several years (he won his other PGA TOUR title at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational with a similar 60.06K wedge to his current 60K* gamer), the 52-degree and 56-degree F Grind wedges were also off-season additions.
  • His gap and sand wedges function primarily as distance wedges, and he trusts the versatility of the K* Grind for most of his shots around the greens. 
  • The K* Grind, now one of the most popular lob wedge grinds on the PGA TOUR, originated from tour player requests to modify the sole of the popular Low Bounce K Grind lob wedge.
  • Instead of the full, smooth sole of the K Grind, the sole of the K* Grind features a steeper pre-wear on the leading edge to provide forgiveness from the square-faced position.
  • K* also has heel, toe and trailing edge relief, which allows the leading edge to sit closer to the ground when the face is opened.
  • And like all K Grind variations, K* has a wide sole that excels out of the bunker.

  • On the greens, the champion was gaming his Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 tour prototype putter.
  • While he began the year with a Newport 2 GSS putter in the bag, he moved into his current gamer at the Charles Schwab challenge, looking to test out a sight dot for alignment instead of his previous topline.
  • The Studio Style prototype putter that he moved to also featured the Studio Carbon Steel face insert that was first introduced this year across the entire Studio Style line.
  • Both the alignment cue of the sight dot and the feel of the new face insert clicked – and the putter has been in the bag since.
  • This week in Minnesota, he gained strokes on the field on the greens while ranking 7th in Putts per GIR (1.62) and 4th in Feet of Putts Made.

PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS | ISPS HANDA Senior Open

Gaming his 2025 Pro V1 golf ball, Padraig Harrington captured back-to-back major championships, winning the Senior Open just four weeks after his U.S. Senior Open triumph.

  • With the victory, Harrington became just the fifth player in history to win both the Open Championship and the Senior Open.
  • The Irishman won back-to-back Open Championships in 2007 and 2008.
  • This week at Sunningdale, Harrington carded four rounds of 67 or better (67-65-65-67) to post 16 under and win by three.
  • He now has 11 Champions Tour titles to name, three of which are majors.  

PADRAIG HARRINGTON ON WHY HE PLAYS PRO V1

  • “Confidence, it is all about confidence, and I know Titleist builds the best golf balls. I opt to play Pro V1 because I like that slightly softer feel when chipping around the green. The most important thing in golf is to commit to your shot and have that confidence in your swing. To do that, you need to have complete trust in your golf ball.”
