PGA TOUR | BMW Championship

A model of consistency and excellence, the OWGR No. 1 trusted his Pro V1 golf ball to a field-best 21 birdies and two-shot victory in the second event of the FedExCup Playoffs.

  • Leading a 1-2-3 finish for Titleist golf ball players at Caves Valley, the BMW Championship winner continued his historic run with four rounds of 67 or better (66-65-67-67), using his Vokey Design SM10 60.06K lob wedge to hole a 27-yard chip for birdie at the par-3 17th on Sunday that put the outcome beyond doubt.
  • The champ led the field with nearly 15 strokes gained tee to green (+14.960/1st), with the majority coming on approach shots (+5.314/5th) and around the green (+4.344).
  • He also led the field with 78% (56 of 72) GIR.

1-2-3 FINISH FOR PRO V1
