Tiger Woods will be playing the all new 2024 Bridgestone TOUR B X golf ball for the first time in competition this week at the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles.
The new ball was designed by Bridgestone’s R&D department with significant input from Tiger himself, who has officially switched from the TOUR B XS to the TOUR B X, due to the X providing a bit more “pop,” off the tee while still providing shot stopping spin on approaches and shots around the greens. Tiger has repeatedly thanked Bridgestone’s ball fitters for helping him select a better ball for his game.
The new golf ball has already earned its first win with Jason Day at the Grant Thornton Championship, and will be played throughout the ’24 season and beyond by Bridgestone staffers including Tiger and Jason, as well as Matt Kuchar and Chris Gotterup.
"I tell people all the time how important it is to get ball fit," said Tiger, "and if you’ve been fit, to get fit again. Bridgestone re-fit me into the new TOUR B X, and it’s got a little more pop off the tee and the control I need around the greens.”
The TOUR B X along with all of the new TOUR B golf ball models (XS, RX, and RXS) will be available at retail on Friday, February 16th.

Have been playing these balls ( Tour B and B330) ever since they have been making them and am really looking forward to trying the latest generation.
