19 Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo Championship

Published

on

Last week, The Players Championship was about as exciting as it gets; Rickie Fowler beat out Kevin Kisner and Sergio Garcia in a playoff to cap off one of the best finishes on the PGA Tour in recent memory.

This week, the Tour is at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C. Maybe we shouldn’t expect the same exciting finish, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a fresh batch of photos to analyze.

Here’s this week’s edition of Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo at Quail Hollow Club, and in case you missed it, here are all the photo galleries from the 2015 Wells Fargo.

Back-breaking move here from Colts fan Patrick Rodgers

Back-breaking… like what the Colts did to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots by tattling about deflated footballs; eventually costing Brady a 4-game suspension, $1 million and two top draft picks for the Pats.

This week in “These PGA Tour guys are pampered,” the most perfect grass range in existence

And look at all these targets.

An average golfer’s dream, but just business as usual for the PGA Tour guys.

Luke Donald put the Mizuno JPX Prototype driver in play last week at The Players

Is Chuckie 3 Sticks next? We spotted him testing Mizuno’s new driver this week, as well.

“Should I have worn the plaid pants?”

“Ehhh, maybe not.”

Is that, what I think it is?

This BioMech TechDeck is kickflippin’ into everyone’s bag these days, eh?

Jhonny Vegas is sponsored by MGM Grand Las Vegas

The biggest no-brainer, player-sponsor combination of all time.

Phil Mickelson starring as Crocodile Dundee at the Wells Fargo

Gator leather shoes, belt and even yardage book? Can’t imagine PETA is rooting for Phil this week.

Louis Oosthuizen testing out Mitsubishi Rayon’s “Tensei” Tour prototype

Enjoy the photos, because we don’t have any information on the prototype shaft… yet.

Chesson Hadley reminds me of someone

Remember in the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia when “the guys” compare Dee’s dance moves to an inflatable man that car dealerships use to promote a big sale?

The resemblance here is uncanny.

Three bro’s, three poker chips…

Three happy faces. If you’re at a Tour event, make sure to find photographer Greg Moore and ask for a GolfWRX poker chip.

Golf Pride TalkBack putter grip, Golf Pride putter headcover, Golf Pride putter shaft label…

Is there a Golf Pride putter that we don’t know about?

A weekly reminder how difficult golf is

Look at all these training aids specifically designed to help golfers putt the ball into the hole. Boards, path guiders, mirrors, sticks… and these guys are the best in the world.

It appears that Sam Saunders is in full NHL Playoff mode

He even wrapped his putter grip like a hockey stick.

Finally spotted: K.J. Choi NOT working out at the range

de09082fc9f72a3f525c947431275553And it looks as though he’s testing Matrix Ozik’s new MF Series X4 shaft. He’ll probably test it between sets of squats.

Is Jason Gore signing autographs?

Or asking for directions?

Question: Does being sponsored by Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse mean you get free meals at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse? Follow up question: Does Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse sponsor golf writers? I’m asking for a friend.

Just when you think you know someone, they switch it up on you

I thought Robert Streb only had Step Brothers quotes stamped on his wedges, but this island green stamping puts my judgements to rest. I underestimated you, Robert, and for that I apologize.

Tour Edge Exotics new CB Pro F2 fairway wood

Like the new CB Pro U hybrids, the CB Pro F2 fairway woods also feature steel fork heads attached to their soles for better turf interaction.

Note: No cutlery or kitchenware was actually used in the construction of these golf clubs. 

If you ever think you’re too good to play “game-improvement” clubs, or that pros only play blades…

Just check out Tom Gillis’ bag of Titleist AP1 irons, which include a mix of 712 and 714 models. Scorecards don’t care about head size.

He played on the Hawaii Pacific University Men's Golf team and earned a Masters degree in Communications. He also played college golf at Rutgers University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

    Where will Streb take his wedge personalization next? The be-dazzler?

    You should at least h/t Jimmy Fallon for the old joke about the Mattress Firm inflatable flailing arm man.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
