Review of the New Titleist GT1 3Tour Fairway Wood

A 3-wood can be your most trusted weapon – or your toughest club to hit well consistently. Titleist’s GT1 3Tour aims to tip the balance in your favor, and it’s available now at Worldwide Golf.

Built with insight from Tour players and engineered to meet the demands of confident ball-strikers, the GT1 3Tour offers a fresh take on fairway performance. It shares the same clean shaping and easy-launch DNA as the GT1 fairway woods, but turns down the spin and strengthens the loft to produce a flatter, more penetrating ball flight. If you’re looking for more control without losing height, this is a club for you.

Why 3Tour?

Some players love the look and launch of a shallow-face fairway wood but want a bit more from it – less spin, stronger trajectory, and tighter dispersion. That’s where the GT1 3Tour comes in.

Designed at 14.5° loft and built with a more forward-weighted profile than the standard GT1, this model was made for players who want to flight it down without sacrificing confidence off the deck. It’s already been spotted in the bags of Titleist Brand Ambassadors like Doug Ghim and Cameron Davis, which speaks to the kind of control it offers without compromising playability.

Features and Technology

At the core of the GT1 3Tour’s performance is a multi-material construction that starts with Titleist’s proprietary Seamless Thermoform Crown. Made from an ultra-light Matrix Polymer, the crown design reduces weight up top, allowing engineers to shift mass lower in the clubhead. That redistribution enhances launch conditions while keeping spin in a more controlled window – exactly what better players tend to look for in a fairway wood.

The 3Tour’s 14.5-degree loft is another deliberate choice. While slightly stronger than the standard GT1 models, it still delivers consistent launch from the turf thanks to the shallow face profile. This balance between loft and CG placement gives the club a flatter, more penetrating flight without making it difficult to elevate off the fairway.

Players looking to fine-tune performance will appreciate the adjustable fore/aft weighting system. In the stock setup, a heavier 11-gram weight is positioned forward, which helps lower spin and increase ball speed. For players who want a bit more launch and forgiveness, flipping the weight to the back shifts mass deeper in the head, promoting a higher trajectory with added stability through impact.

Another subtle but important improvement lies in the redesigned internal hosel. Titleist’s engineers were able to free up additional discretionary weight through this update, improving overall mass properties without affecting the club’s clean, confidence-inspiring look at address. The result is a head that’s well-balanced and easy to trust over the ball.

Finally, the GT1 3Tour maintains a 180cc head size, giving it a compact yet playable footprint. The shallow face makes it easier to lift shots from a variety of lies, while the streamlined shape and carefully tuned weighting offer the kind of control and versatility that better players often seek in a 3-wood.

Who It’s For

The GT1 3Tour fits the player who’s always wished their go-to fairway wood launched a touch lower but didn’t want to sacrifice turf interaction or ease of use. The flatter flight adds versatility off the tee, while the shaping and CG design help keep launch strong enough to stay playable from fairway lies.
