Today, TSR is one of the fastest, most popular drivers in the game. But it wasn’t long ago that Titleist drivers had a different reputation. We Go Farther takes you deep inside the Titleist Speed Project, a six-year journey that transformed a daunting challenge into overwhelming Tour success. Meet the team that led the way and see what it takes to harness pure speed.

Titleist TS drivers, the first models developed through the Titleist Speed Project, made their debut at the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. A total of 17 players made the immediate switch to TS models that week, a striking number particularly for the week of a major championship.

For the first time since 2000, more players used Titleist drivers on the PGA TOUR during the ensuing 2018-2019 season than any other brand. Through the introduction of the next generation TSi and TSR models, Titleist has remained the most played driver brand on the PGA TOUR for four seasons and counting.

“I feel like I can hit the low one in the wind, I feel like I can hit the high one to carry a bunker, and I’ve got that extra 10 [yards] over the last five years that I didn’t have,” Jordan Spieth says in Episode 4. “Over the course of a season that makes a huge difference.”

Last season, Titleist drivers were used to win 16 PGA TOUR events, including three major championships. Justin Thomas (PGA Championship) and the U.S. Open Champion gamed TSi3 drivers while Cameron Smith won the Open Championship with his TSR3 just weeks after the new models launched on tour.

Max Homa’s victory last week at the Farmers Insurance Open marked the 30th win for the TSR drivers across the worldwide professional tours.

As the new TS drivers near completion, the team reaches its first “now-or-never” moment. If it passes the test, there are aggressive plans to launch it on the horizon. Not even narrow fairways, punitive rough and high stakes can keep the Titleist Speed Project from rolling.

Having done it once, the question becomes, “Can you do it again?” As the Titleist Speed Project shifts from TS to TSi, the team hits a wall. With physics unwilling to budge, it’s time to bring in the big guns. All it takes is a little “space metal” to set off the fireworks and a string of celebrations.

Standing on the other side of success, the Titleist Speed Project team looks to prove that the end of their innovation is nowhere in sight. As the TSR driver takes shape, the newest member of the team proves that sometimes the smallest enhancements can yield the biggest gains.
