Gaming his Pro V1x golf ball, the winner of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic claimed his fifth Rolex Series title with a one-shot win at Emirates GC. On Sunday, he closed in 3-under 69, making a clutch birdie on the par-4 16th to reach the eventual winning total of 15 under. The 33-year-old Ryder Cupper, whose victory today also marked his eighth career DPWT win in his 200th career DPWT start, also led a 1-2-3 finish for Titleist golf ball players: 

• Champion (Pro V1x) 
  

• Daniel Hillier (NEW 2025 Pro V1x) 
  

• Laurie Canter (NEW 2025 Pro V1) 
  

Over four rounds in Dubai, the winner led the field in Greens in Regulation, hitting 81 percent. He ranked 3rd in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green (+11.52), with six of those strokes coming off the tee (+6.00, 4th) and over four coming from his approach play (+4.04, 15th). 

At the first event of 2025 on the DP World Tour, 32 players teed up a NEW 2025 Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball, with 29 of those players moving into the new models for the first time this week in Dubai after offseason testing. That group included runner-up Daniel Hillier (NEW 2025 Pro V1x) and third-place finisher Laurie Canter (NEW 2025 Pro V1). 

Overall, 89 players trusted a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball (71%), compared to 15 for the nearest competitor.

Trusting his NEW 2025 Pro V1x golf ball, Titleist Brand Ambassador Hank Lebioda earned the first Korn Ferry Tour victory of the new season at the Bahamas Golf Classic. Lebioda, who was also gaming a NEW GT2 driver and fairway along with Titleist irons and Vokey wedges, carded a final round 4-under 66 to post 18 under. After his total was matched by fellow Brand Ambassador S.H. Kim, Lebioda closed the door after he stuck his approach to set up a tap-in birdie on the first playoff hole. The win marked his first career Korn Ferry Tour title.
