Titleist has released the first images of its latest equipment launch, the GT280 mini driver, ahead of the PGA Tour’s opening event of the season in Hawaii.
The introduction of GT280 at Kapalua marks the start of Titleist’s tour validation process for the new club, providing PGA Tour players the opportunity to game the new model in competition for the first time.
GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on Tour at last year’s PLAYERS Championship.
With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree, 280cc head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck.
An on-sale date at retail and an RRP will be released in the coming weeks.
