Multi-piece solid golf ball

A multi-piece solid golf ball comprising a core consisting of a center and an intermediate layer formed on the center, and a cover covering the core, wherein

• the center has a diameter of 25 to 40 mm, and a surface hardness in Shore D hardness of the center is higher than a central point hardness in Shore D hardness of the center by not less than 15,
• the intermediate layer has a thickness of 0.5 to 8.0 mm, and a surface hardness in Shore D hardness of the intermediate layer is higher than the central point hardness of the center by 15 to 35,
• the center and intermediate layer comprise cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber as a main component,
• the cover comprises polyurethane-based thermoplastic elastomer as a main component, and has a thickness of 0.3 to 1.5 mm and a hardness in Shore D hardness of 35 to 55, and
• the surface hardness of the intermediate layer is higher than the hardness of the cover by 3 to 25.
