It has been a pretty busy week here at the Shell Houston Open where we have 31 full-line staff players in the field.

World No. 5 Adam Scott is the highest-ranked player in the field this week and has been a Titleist ambassador since he turned professional in 2000. Charley Hoffman is another Titleist ambassador who won his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year in a playoff at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback on the Titleist Tour blog. It’s great to hear from you and we really appreciate your suggestions. We also wanted you to know that we’re out on tour during the practice round days of PGA Tour events and will not likely be adding new posts from Thursday through Sunday. Feel free to keep asking us questions and comments over the weekend though and we’ll do our best to get back to you.
