CROMWELL, Conn. – About 12 hours after Matthew Fitzpatrick used a Titleist TSi3 driver to win the 2022 U.S. Open at The Country Club outside Boston, Titleist introduced its new TSR line – the yet-to-be-released successors to the TSi driver and fairway wood families – to PGA Tour players.
There are three new Titleist drivers – the TSR2, TSR3 and TSR4 – at TPC River Highlands, the site of this week’s Travelers Championship. There also are three new fairway woods: the TSR2, TSR2+ and the TSR3.
While the company is mum on the details, I had a chance to examine them closely and collect the photos you can see below. The company has not revealed when the clubs might be made available at retail.

The driver has a large weight in the back that would pull the center of gravity back and down, which should increase the moment of inertia and make the head less susceptible to twisting on off-center hits. (David Dusek/Golfweek)

This model has a five-position adjustable weight in the back of the head that appears similar to the movable weight in the back of the TSi3. It likely will give players and club fitters the ability to create ball-flight tendencies and biases such as a draw or a fade. (David Dusek/Golfweek)

Drivers with a “4” in the name have been low-spin options in the past, and this driver has a weight in the back of the head plus a weight behind the leading edge. The forward weight would pull the center of gravity forward, which typically reduces spin and encourages a lower, piercing ball flight for high-spin players. (David Dusek/Golfweek)
Titleist TSR2+ fairway wood

The TSR2+ appears to be a larger version of the TSR2, and the model that was on display had just 13 degrees of loft. It is likely that this is going to be a fairway wood designed as a secondary driving club. (David Dusek/Golfweek)
