Costco's Titleists

Everyone is all up in arms, literally, trying to grab a 2 dozen pack of Costco's Kirkland Signature 4-Piece Urethane "tour ball".  For $29.99 for two dozen it is a remarkable deal when compared to Titleist's Prov1's and Pro V1X's that retail for around $55 for one dozen.  This Dew Sweeper has a theory that perhaps these Kirkland Signature balls are just old Pro V's rebranded!

Given that Titleist is rolling out a brand new Pro V in 2017, it would make since for the company to grab even more share of the ball market simply using their leftovers.  

In addition, Costco is not disclosing which company is manufacturing the balls, only that it is a Korean company.  Hmm, Srixon?  Volvik?  Experon?  I'd bet that Acushnet is behind this and laughing all the way to the bank.  See the incredibly similar ball statistics below.
