There was pain in Tiger Woods' steps, confidence in Rory McIlroy's. That was the most obvious sign of two players in wildly different places on the same day at the same course.

Rory McIlroy had his lowest start to par in a major since 2014, shooting a 5-under 65 at Southern Hills to grab the first-round lead after the morning wave in the PGA Championship.

News flash last Friday: Phil Mickelson withdrew from the PGA Championship and will not defend his title.

Update: Phil Mickelson withdrew from decent society some time ago and cannot defend his legacy.

Anyone who follows professional golf knows the mercurial Mickelson was the architect of his own demise. He just couldn’t control himself when interviewed by Alan Shipnuck for his unauthorized biography.

Speaking about his commitment to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf International Series, he called the Saudis “scary motherf***ers” whom, he acknowledged, controlled a murderous authoritarian regime. After an explosive backlash from colleagues and the public, he walked those comments back, saying his intention was to leverage his LIV involvement into reshaping the PGA Tour for the betterment of the players. It didn’t work. He lost whatever aura he had cultivated with the public and his peers (many of whom already doubted his glad-handing, Arnie-wannabe act). His sponsors cut him loose.

That backlash drew much attention to the upstart Saudi tour, all of it negative. Nevertheless, some players—most has-beens and never-will-be’s—voiced interest in competing. The PGA Tour responded by saying it would not release any players to do so. The first LIV event takes place June 9-11 at England’s Centurion Club.

Titleist has introduced new versions of Tour Speed and Tour Soft.Tour Speed is “reformulated”; Tour Soft is billed as “new.”Retail price in the U.S. is $40 (Tour Speed) and $35 (Tour Soft).Available May 20

The original Titleist Tour Speed golf ball launched in August of 2020. Given the cadence of the industry, a late May release might suggest Titleist is coming to market a little early with Version 2.0. The thing is … This Tour Speed isn’t really a Version 2.0. According to Titleist, it’s not technically new. It’s reformulated which I suppose could make it Version 1.5. But, early to market?  Definitely not. For Titleist, the reality is closer to just in time.

Before we dig into all that, let’s briefly explore the nearly-as-brief history of Tour Speed.

A Brief History of Titleist Tour Speed

Tour Speed is Titleist’s entry into the “not played on Tour” urethane market. While there is the occasional exception, we’re talking about balls used almost exclusively by recreational golfers, and moderate swing speed ones at that. It’s a competitive set that includes things like Chrome Soft, Tour Response and the Bridgestone RX series.

Greg Norman's involvement in the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV golf tour and comments he's made about the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi drew criticism from golfers in Australia.
