You Can Buy The Exact Ball Tiger Woods Plays

When Bridgestone Golf signed Tiger Woods to a ball deal in late 2016, it appeared somewhat risky given his iffy odds to successfully return to competitive Tour play. Yet, Woods appears pain free and was in contention on two straight Sundays.

Thus, Bridgestone execs are now geniuses and are cashing in with the Woods partnership.

And now, the company is offering us mere mortals the ability to buy Woods’ exact spec Tour B XS ammo.

PGATour.com’s Jonathan Wall has the details.

The ball will come in a limited edition box with a portion of the proceeds from the ball going to support Woods’ TGR Foundation.

“We worked closely with the Bridgestone team to come up with a concept that benefits both golfers and my TGR Foundation, which is very important to me,” said Woods. “The Tour B XS easily outperforms any ball I’ve ever played. It is incredibly long, but offers excellent feel and spin around the green, which makes me confident in any situation.”

Woods has always put feel near the top of the list during the ball fitting process, which is partly why he plays the Tour B XS. The XS version offers more greenside spin (ranging from 350-450 RPMs) on shots inside 40 yards than the Tour B X. However, due to the company’s dual dimple design, spin on full shots increases by 25-50 RPMs.

“Most of the golf balls are very hard,” Woods told PGATOUR.COM back in December. “I like to have a softer golf ball, a little bit more spin. Once I found that, that part of it was nice.”

$50 per dozen and available beginning April 1.
