Among the field of 156, Titleist is the #1 golf ball with 93 players, more than all other golf balls combined. A total of 57 players are relying upon the Pro V1x versus 36 with the Pro V1.

Titleist leads the way in iron sets with 39, including 17 AP2s, the most played individual model.

Over 40 percent of the sand, lob and approach wedges in play this week are Vokey Design models. With a total of 139, more than twice as many players are relying upon Vokey Design wedges for their short game success at Oakland Hills than the nearest competitor with 56.
