  1. Hello Tom,

    I am curious about how Titleist goes about taking care of their players on tournament days.

     

    How many golf balls do you give players? Only 'registered' titleist players?

    Are players given 1 new pair of golf shoe every day.. or?

    Is there free flow golf shoes, golf balls, golf gloves etc in the golfers locker room?

     

    Fill us curious weekend golfers in, what happens behind the scenes, how are these lucky Titleist golfers taken care off!!

    Hi Ben,

     

    Excellent question. Although I have some idea of how this works, I thought it best to forward this to one our Asian Tour Leadership Team, the guys who look after the players every week at the events, to get a more complete answer. He is currently in Shanghai at the HSBC Champions Event looking after our players there. I will post his response as soon as I get it. Cheers.

    Hi Ben,

    Here is the reply I've received back from our leadership team. I hope this helps give you some insight into how all of this works. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

    Q: How many golf balls do you give players? Only 'registered' titleist players? 
    It varies from tour to tour, but for the US and European Tour, it's normally 3 dozen per event. 
    Any player entered in the tournament can pick up balls from us as long as they will use them.

    Q: Are players given 1 new pair of golf shoe every day.. or?
    No, again, shoes are budgeted differently from tour to tour and players get a minimum of 6 pairs per year

    Q: Is there free flow golf shoes, golf balls, golf gloves etc in the golfers locker room?
    We are only allowed to work the locker room on the US Tour- we work out of the truck or around the clubhouse on all other tours.
    We give a minimum of 3 gloves per event and shoes are usually special ordered for each player.

    Thanks.

  4. Wow!

    Thanks for taking the trouble to answer.

     

    Golf shoes, that's a minimum of 1 pair per 2 months. Great. I remember seeing a youtube video of Ian Poulter, his garage is absolutely filled with custom MyJoy golf shoes.

     

    it seems fun to be on tour. cant wait for the singapore open in 2 weeks, maybe the titleist european tour truck is gonna come down too? haha.
