Titleist produces golf equipment and is best known for its golf balls, but it also produces clubs and accessories.
Titleist's most famous motto is \"The #1 ball in golf\". Another motto they have is \"Serious clubs for serious golfers\". Balls produced by Titleist include the DT SO/LO, NXT, NXT Tour, NXT Extreme and the most famous Pro V1 & Pro V1x.
The Pro V1 made its debut on the PGA Tour at Las Vegas on October 11, 2000, the first week it was available to the pros. A longtime Titleist user, Billy Andrade, won that first tournament with the new ball. The Pro V1 was available to the public for purchase that December. The Pro V1 was a dramatic departure for Titleist, which had traditionally used a wound-ball construction (with a liquid-filled core center) for its top-of-the-line golf balls.
First played in the U.S. Open in 1949, Titleist golf balls are the top-selling golf balls in the United States.
