A major brand of golf equipment, particularly famous for golf balls and clubs. The company name suggests excellence or championship quality.
Coined in 1935 from 'title' (indicating championship or first place) plus the suffix -ist (one who practices or is concerned with). The name was chosen to suggest products used by titleholders and champions.
Titleist golf balls have been the most played ball at professional tournaments for decades, but the company actually started by making tennis balls before pivoting to golf. The distinctive number on each golf ball isn't just for identification - it also helps golfers track their ball's rotation and performance.
