Tiger Woods Used 2002 U.S. Open Range Balls

    If you ever assumed that the professionals use community driving range balls like the rest of us do, you’d be wrong. Ever see those pyramids of balls awaiting the pros as they stroll onto the driving range before a tournament? Those balls have already been selected for that particular professional. Someone who plays a Titleist ProV1 isn’t going to improve their game by hitting MaxFli’s on the driving range. The driving range employees are instructed as to which player uses which balls. Tiger – being Tiger – uses balls specifically reserved for Tiger. Presented here are two of those balls. These balls are not sold in stores. Nor are they made for other PGA Tour players. These balls are made for Tiger’s use on the practice range, and that’s the only place you’ll ever find them. These particular ball weres obtained from a a Manager at the 2002 U.S. Open.
