Titleist Brand Ambassadors and golf ball loyalists continued to win the world over this weekend, as Pro V1 and Pro V1x players claimed seven titles across the worldwide professional tours. The 7-win week was headlined by Titleist golf ball loyalist Carlota Ciganda (Pro V1), who captured her second career LPGA Tour crown (and the second in her last four starts) at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.
And at the PGA Tour Champions’ season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Scottsdale, two Titleist golf ball loyalists took top honors, with Paul Goydos (Pro V1) winning the playoff finale and Bernhard Langer (Pro V1) claiming his third straight season points title and his fourth overall.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the other worldwide wins by Titleist golf ball players this week...

In the tie-breaker, Chawrasia birdied the par-5 18th hole twice to earn his fifth career Asian Tour crown.
"I know every shot is crucial when you are in a playoff,” said Chawrasia of his clutch play in sudden elimination. “So I just tried to calm myself down out there and I'm just glad I hit two brilliant second shots that got me the title.”
