Titleist GTS Drivers: The GT Successor Just Landed on the Tour Truck
Three new models — GTS2, GTS3, GTS4 — unveiled to tour pros at the Houston Open this week. New weight systems, refined shapes, and Ludvig Aberg's name already stamped on one. Here's everything we know so far.
Titleist GTS2 · GTS3 · GTS4 — Tour Truck Unveil
The Titleist GTS driver lineup — GTS2, GTS3, and GTS4 — on the PGA Tour truck at the Texas Children's Houston Open.
It's that time of year. The Titleist tour truck rolls into a PGA Tour stop, the reps start pulling covers off prototype heads, and the equipment world loses its collective mind. This week at the Houston Open, the next generation of Titleist drivers made their first public appearance: the GTS2, GTS3, and GTS4.
Titleist teased this moment back in February with a social media post that simply read: "Finally a driver faster than GT. Coming in May." That retail launch is still weeks away, but the tour proving process has officially begun — and the early details are already revealing.

Expected Retail
The GTS lineup follows the same three-model structure as the GT series — a max forgiveness option (GTS2), a low-spin speed model (GTS3), and a compact players' head (GTS4). All three are currently being fitted to players at the Houston Open, with reps expected to have them in bags for Thursday's opening round.
Simultaneously, the GTS drivers are being introduced at the LPGA Ford Championship and the Korn Ferry Tour's Club Car Championship — a sign that Titleist is running a full-scale, multi-tour validation process ahead of the retail launch.
The Three Models: What's Changed from GT
Titleist GTS2 Driver
The GTS2 inherits a forward weight system from the GT1/GT4 — a major change for the forgiveness model.
GTS2
Max Forgiveness · GT2 Successor
The biggest change in the lineup. The GTS2 now features a forward movable weight borrowed from the GT1 and GT4 designs, allowing front-to-rear CG adjustment for the first time in Titleist's max-forgiveness driver. This gives golfers who need forgiveness the ability to also tune launch and spin — something the GT2 couldn't do.
GTS3
Low Spin · Speed · GT3 Successor
The tour favorite appears largely unchanged from the GT3 externally — and that's not a bad thing. The GT3 has been the most popular driver head on Tour for two straight seasons, with Cameron Young switching into one just before winning THE PLAYERS. Ludvig Aberg's GTS3 prototype (9.0 loft, D4 swing weight) has already been spotted on the truck.

GTS4
Compact · Low Spin · GT4 Successor
The GTS4 adopts the heel-toe adjustable weight track from the GT3 — a significant upgrade from the GT4's fixed weight. This gives low-handicap players who prefer the compact shape the ability to tune ball flight curvature and strike optimization, something previously only available in the GT3.
GT vs GTS: What's Different?
| Feature | GT Series | GTS Series |
|---|---|---|
| Models | GT2, GT3, GT4 (+ GT1 later) | GTS2, GTS3, GTS4 |
| GTS2 Weight | Fixed rear weight | Forward movable weight (from GT1/GT4) |
| GTS3 Track | Adjustable CG Track | Appears similar (internal upgrades TBD) |
| GTS4 Weight | Rear fixed weight | Heel-toe weight track (from GT3) |
| Speed | Faster than TSR | "Finally faster than GT" — Titleist |
| Retail | Aug 2024 / ~$599 | May 2026 / est. ~$699 |
| Tour Debut | Memorial Tournament 2024 | Houston Open 2026 |
The Fitting Room Take: The biggest story here is the weight system migration. Titleist is giving each model the adjustability features that made other models in the GT line popular. The GTS2 gets the GT1/GT4's forward weight. The GTS4 gets the GT3's track. This is Titleist saying: "We heard what you wanted. Here it is."
Who's Playing It?
As of this week, tour reps at the Houston Open are fitting players into the GTS drivers. The full staff list that currently plays Titleist drivers includes Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick (this week's Valspar Champion), Jordan Spieth, Ludvig Aberg, Bob MacIntyre, and Adam Scott. Expect several of these names to have GTS heads in the bag by Thursday.
In 2025, Titleist was the most-played driver brand on the PGA Tour for the seventh consecutive season, accounting for 40% of all drivers in play. The GTS launch is designed to extend that dominance through 2026 and into the Masters season.
GTS Lineup — Full Comparison Coming Soon
Full tech specs and performance data will be available at the official retail launch in May.
What to Watch For
The Houston Open this week will be the first competitive rounds with GTS drivers in play. Here's what to track over the coming weeks as tour validation continues ahead of the May retail launch:
1. Tour adoption speed. How quickly do Titleist staff players switch from GT to GTS? The GT3 was so good that some players may resist switching mid-season — especially with the Masters three weeks away.
2. Ball speed numbers. Titleist's teaser promised "faster than GT." We need Trackman data to verify — and the tour truck will generate plenty.
3. GTS2 reception. The forward weight is a game-changer for the forgiveness model. If it plays like a GT1 with GT2 forgiveness, it could be the most popular head in the lineup.
4. Retail price. The GT launched at ~$599. Industry insiders expect the GTS to hit $699 — matching TaylorMade's Qi4D pricing tier. Confirmation pending.

The Titleist GTS drivers represent the next chapter in what has been the most dominant driver brand on the PGA Tour for nearly a decade. The weight system upgrades across all three models suggest Titleist is responding directly to what fitters and players have been asking for: more adjustability in every head shape. We'll have full reviews, Trackman data, and fitting recommendations as soon as the retail launch hits in May. Stay locked in.
