Spotted: Titleist GT drivers, fairway woods at the Memorial Tournament
Titleist released its TSR family of drivers in September of 2022. Owing to the company’s recent pattern of a two-year product cycle for its woods, GolfWRXers have been eagerly anticipating the next iteration of the Titleist Speed Project…or whatever direction the company decided to go in improving upon the most-played drivers on tour.
With tour seeding officially beginning at this week’s Memorial Tournament, it seems Titleist is going with the latter. That is, not a “TS” driver, but rather, new “GT” nomenclature.
As always at this stage of the seeding process, Titleist is mum on any details, but we do have in-hand photos for your perusal and speculation.
Check ’em out, below.

Club Junkie’s take
The new Titleist GT drivers and fairways look really good, as you would expect from a Titleist club. The shaping between GT2, GT3, and GT4 look to be very similar from address. This can help in fittings where a player gravitates towards the look of one driver even though the performance of another model might be better. Overall the three drivers look to be a touch more rounded compared to the TSR models and the sleek sole design that helps with aerodynamics is slightly more intricate. It will be interesting to see how the Titleist fans will react to the “GT” text as the alignment mark instead of the legendary triangle.
The biggest change to my eye is the movement of the GT3’s movable weight back to the sole of the club. Titleist moved the sliding weight to the rear of the driver for TSR3 and now we have it back low and forward. This could mean lower spin and launch for the GT3 model. Interestingly, the plate that holds the weight in place looks to be completely closed with no weight tab showing out from the track.
It is hard to tell from photos, but the face on the GT2 looks to be deep, maybe deeper than the TSR2. It looks like the single rear weight stays put and we “2” series players won’t get the adjustable option like the TSR3 again.
Titleist looks to be sticking with the dual weights on the TSR4, so like last year you can dial it in for low spin with the heavy weight forward or keep it back for some added forgiveness. The shape looks to be a smidge more compact in the GT4, shorter from front to back. This could mean a slightly smaller CC or just different shaping.

Also spotted at Jack’s place: new GT2 and GT3 fairway woods.
Our on-course reporter will offer updates as soon as we know anyone is testing the new woods. For now, enjoy the photos.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Any improvements at this point are only micro-fractional. Therefore, if I buy at all, I like to always wait until the previous model goes on discount.
