The 2025 Titleist Pro V1, introduced at TPC Summerlin during the PGA Tour’s Shriners Children’s Open on October 14, 2024, marks a quarter-century since the original Pro V1 debuted in 2000 at the Invensys Classic in Las Vegas. Engineered by Titleist’s 75-strong R&D team, this iteration builds on its predecessors with a focus on increased ball speed off the tee, enhanced iron control, and elevated wedge spin. The ball retains its three-piece construction—a core, mantle, and urethane cover—but features refined aerodynamics and material tweaks, though exact details like dimple patterns remain under wraps until retail release in early 2025.
Performance upgrades stem from a development process involving over 2,500 dimple pattern tests since the Pro V1’s inception, with the 2025 model passing more than 90 quality checks. Early adopters like Hayden Springer and Zac Blair have already put it in play on Tour, with every Titleist range ball at Summerlin swapped for the new Pro V1 or Pro V1x during the event. It’s designed for versatility, appealing to a broad spectrum of golfers, and continues the Pro V1’s legacy as the PGA Tour’s most-used ball—70% of players opt for it, with 34 wins in 2024 alone.
Titleist positions this release as a milestone, celebrating 25 years and over 4,000 pro victories worldwide. While full specs are embargoed until retail, the brand hints at measurable speed gains without sacrificing the signature feel and control that made the Pro V1 a game-changer. Available details suggest it flies lower and spins less than the Pro V1x, aligning with its softer profile, and will hit shelves in early 2025 following Tour seeding, maintaining Titleist’s two-year cycle.
