This should come as no surprise to anyone, but the winningest golf ball brand on the PGA Tour was once again the “No. 1 ball in golf.”
Titleist golf balls took the crown again this year by winning a whopping 26 of the 46 PGA Tour events played last season, more than triple the next closest competitor’s eight victories.
Why isn’t that surprising? Because Titleist has long been the most dominant golf ball player on the PGA Tour and this past season, according to Darrell Survey, 73 percent of all golf balls played on the PGA Tour were from Titleist, compared to nine percent for their nearest competitor.
What’s interesting about Titleist’s winning ball count is that many of the wins are coming with earlier model golf balls, which the company is happy to continue producing for specific Tour players. Golf ball technology has certainly improved year over year, but professionals aren’t always looking for maximum spin or speed. They usually like to stick with what they feel most comfortable with throughout their career
For example, Scottie Scheffler’s six wins this season came with the 2021 model Titleist Pro V1. Viktor Hovland also won at Valspar with the same ball. In total, the Pro V1 won 14 times, with the ’21 model accounting for half of that total. The current generation 2025 Pro V1 took four wins, while the even older 2017 Pro V1 took three wins, used by Harris English, Brian Harman and Adam Schenk.
The Pro V1’s spinnier brother, the Pro V1x, was responsible for the remaining 12 wins, half of which came from the 2025 or 2023 models. Interestingly, two of those wins came with CPO prototypes in the 2023 Pro V1x+ for Aldrich Potgieter and the 2025 Pro V1x Double Dot for Cam Young.
Regardless, it was another dominant year for Titleist golf balls on the PGA Tour. Keep reading below to see the winning golf balls on the PGA Tour in 2025.
No. 1 Titleist Pro V1 (14 wins, 9 different players)
Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
The best combination of speed, spin and feel Pro V1 golf balls are the optimal choice for premium performance for most players and the most played model in golf. Why play Pro V1? Pro V1 is recommended to players looking for mid-range flight, very low long game spin and maximum short game spin, with a softer feel. Comparison with Pro V1x Due to the unique dimple pattern, Pro V1 has a lower flight than Pro V1x. A softer gradient core provides a softer feel and slightly less spin than Pro V1x.

The Pro V1 is the softer, lower spinning and lower flying of the two commercially available Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. Scottie Scheffler’s six wins with the 2021 model make up the bulk of wins here. Other winners this year include Harris English, Joe Highsmith, Viktor Hovland, Brian Harman, Garrick Higgo, Ryan Gerard, Michael Brennan and Adam Schenk. Young newcomers Highsmith, Higgo, Gerard and Brennan won with the latest ’25 V1.
No. 2 Titleist Pro V1x (12 wins, 12 players)
Titleist Pro V1x golf balls
Total performance with higher flight and more spin Pro V1x golf balls are the optimal choice for premium performance for players looking for maximum distance, higher flight and more stopping power. Why play Pro V1x? Pro V1x is recommended for players looking for flights with a high trajectory, low long game spin with maximum short game spin and a firmer feel. Comparison with Pro V1 Due to the unique dimple pattern, Pro V1x has a higher flight than Pro V1. A high-gradient dual core produces slightly more iron and wedge spin than Pro V1.

The Pro V1x was the winningest golf ball last season when looking at the individual players who won with this model. Ten of the twelve winners used retail versions of the ball, but Cam Young and Aldrich Potgieter used more elusive CPO versions of the Pro V1x. Potgieter won in his first week since switching to the even higher-speed 2023 Pro V1x+. Likewise, Young won on his first start with the Pro V1x Double Dot, which we don’t have much information about yet, but which we think is a lower-flying Pro V1x variant. Ludvig Aberg, Justin Rose and Sami Valimaki won with the 2025 model.
