11 Revealing Photos from the BMW Championship

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the 2015 BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. If you missed any of our photos, make sure to browse the galleries below.

FedExCup Playoff competitors had a week off last week, which meant no photos to reveal. I know, talk about a rough week. But we’re back this week and inching closer to the $10 million Playoff prize.

Shut up and reveal some photos already? Fair enough.

Sergio’s flame-broiled prototype

Sergio’s torched TaylorMade Daytona prototype from Kia Ma has blue hues that subtly match his European Ryder Cup-inspired SuperStroke grip. A nice touch for the prideful Spaniard, who loves to represent his European squad in style.

I was getting worried TaylorMade didn’t have a flat brim, snapback M1 hat yet

I’m pretty sure Dustin Johnson would have to withdraw from the BMW Championship if he had to wear a normal, fully curved-brim hat. That would be like John Daly wearing khakis or Tiger wearing blue on Sunday.

Ryan Moore’s new PXG 0311T irons

If you’re a better player who was interested in the PXG 0311 irons, but didn’t like all that offset, here’s your answer. No word yet on when/if they’ll hit retail/fitting centers.

Someone should clue the PGA Tour in, too.

Justin Rose: Itsy Bitsy, Rd. 2

Rosey switched into TaylorMade’s Itsy Bitsy Spider putter for the 2015 Open Championship. It stayed in his bag for a few weeks, but then he switched back into a blade-style putter for the PGA Championship. Now it seems he’s been lured back into the Itsy Bitsy Spider model and has the Jason Day prototype in his bag this week. Tough to blame him. That putter looks awesome.

Phil Mickelson intervention?

Attention all GolfWRX readers, Phil Mickelson, our fellow gear head, needs our help. This lead tape addiction is getting out of control, and I’m worried for his well-being. I mean, there’s lead tape wrapped around the hosel of his putter. I knew it was bad, but this, this is too much.

We’ve seen the signs all along, but it’s time he seeks professional guidance before this spirals out of control. If he doesn’t get the proper guidance, who knows what will happen. Help us help you, Phil!

Be careful around Cubs fans

They’re furiously passionate — as proven by the pants in the photo above — but they’ll drive you into a pit of pessimism from which you’ll never return.

This particular Cubs fan is one of Bill Murray’s brothers, who’s also an actor, and according my secret insider sources (it’s Greg, our Tour photographer), he was inducted into the Western Golf Association Hall of Fame along with all of his five brothers this week. The Murray’s grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, thus, he’s a Chicago Cubs fan.

Harris English has two sliding weights in his Callaway Great Big Bertha driver, as opposed to just one, which is how the club is sold at retail. The two weights help move the CG even farther rearward for added forgiveness.

All you need is a level, some colorful sticks and the willingness to look goofy when holding your fingers up in front of your face before every putt.

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.”
