titlist

A titlist is someone who holds a title, particularly a championship or competitive title in sports.

The word appears most often in golf and boxing contexts, where it designates the current champion: The defending titlist struggled in the early rounds.

Titlist is also a major golf equipment brand, which can create ambiguity in sports writing.
