• How can I make sure that I purchase authentic Titleist product?


  To ensure that you purchase Titleist product, always buy from an authorized Titleist retailer.
Our products are primarily sold at golf courses, off course specialty shops and certain sporting goods stores. Authentic Titleist products should not be sold at flea markets.
In addition, authorized Titleist accounts are not permitted to sell new Titleist products on Internet auction websites. When you make purchases in these unauthorized locations, there is a much greater chance that the products offered are counterfeit.
To find an authorized retailer, please see our Golf Shop Locator.

• I think I purchased a counterfeit Titleist product, what can I do?

How To Spot Counterfeit Product

• If the deal is too good to be true, then it probably is.
• Scotty Cameron by Titleist putters are made in the U.S., not China.
• If the goods are shipping from, or located in, China or Hong Kong, they are probably counterfeit.
• Be wary of any seller that requires payment by person to person money transfer, such as Western Union. These types of transfers are not traceable and counterfeiters often use them.
• Always check a seller's feedback on auction sites.
• Try to compare the product that you are buying against authentic product. If there are any differences, even slight ones, it is most likely counterfeit. We do not sell seconds or blems, so there will not be different versions of our products in the marketplace.
• If you are in doubt, don't buy the product.
