    Hi Team Titleist, 

    About a month ago, we hosted 84 Team Titleist members at TPC Sawgrass for our second Team Titleist Invitational. 

    We partnered with TPC Sawgrass to create an exciting event and a special package that made the experience one to remember. And of course, the final round of the event was played on the famed Stadium Course, home of The PLAYERS Championship. The week was filled with fantastic play, demo experiences and opportunities to gather with new and old friends. 

    Enjoy some of our favorite moments in the photo gallery below, and stay tuned for information on the 2018 Team Titleist Invitational. 

    Best,

    Abby

    I am looking at those photo's in pure awe!! That would be a dream come true for a Canadian such as myself. add in all the new equipment on the range and on the course too! well that just gives a golfer a chance to completely geek out, and get their fill. Looked like everyone there had a great weekend and congratulations to all.

    Is there a chance for Europeans as well to participate in the 2018 Team Titleist Invitational?
    It would be cool if Team Titleist would become more active in Europe as well!

    This is a great review of the Sawgrass event, Abby. It was, again, a wonderful experience that I was superbly grateful to have been a part of. Looking forward to 2018. Here are a couple of my photos: Our foursome, and the 13th tee showing the Marriott in the background
