13 revealing photos from the Sanderson Farms Championship
GolfWRX was live this week from the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Miss. If you missed any of the photos, make sure to browse the links below:
While most of the world’s top players are in Shanghai for the WGC-HSBC Champions, the rest of the guys are down in Mississippi. It’s weeks like these that can be really important for less-accomplished PGA Tour players, because it doesn’t matter where you get a win, or against whom — since each one gets you into The Masters. And isn’t that really the ultimate goal?
But anyway, let’s reveal some photos from the Sanderson Farms Classic.
A putter prototype that doesn’t suck (air)
From the makers of the skateboard half-pipe putter, Biomech brings to you the vacuum cleaner upholstery prototype putter.
Vacuum cleaner upholstery nozzle: vacuumspot.com.au
Here’s to hoping the putter doesn’t suck as much as a vacuum.
While we don’t know much about the prototype pictured above, you can read more about the technological concepts from Biomech here.
Mr. Beasley
Check out the meaning behind Rife’s new Mr. Beasley prototypes here. Spoiler alert: they’re not named after the “Mr. Beasley” character from Blondie and Dagwood (which I’ve never seen).
Auburn grad Patton Kizzire with cryptic “AU” stamping
AU? What is AU? Australian dollar? Astronomical unit? The elemental symbol for gold? Yeah that must be it — “AU” written in gold coloring must mean gold. Those Auburn grads can’t sneak one past Mr. Revealing Photos.
Kizzire, the Auburn grad, really loves gold, huh? He even made a logo for the elemental symbol and put it on his golf bag. Those Auburn grads are a weird bunch.
Speaking of Auburn grads, Bo Knows Golf… and aquatic plaid pants
As one of, if not THE best athlete ever, Bo Jackson should never listen to anything I have to say… but that doesn’t make his pants any less ugly. You’re still No. 1 in our book though, Bo.
He also has an incredibly powerful golf swing.

Which should surprise no one.
A Super Troopers stamping
After raising $4.4 million via crowdfunding, the long-awaited Super Troopers 2 is becoming a reality. That’s great news for some, and completely meaningless for others. Continuing on…
Tour the Tour van
It’s always a treat when our Tour photographer snaps photos of inside the Tour vans, where all the equipment magic happens.
Some awesome Sanderson Farms tee markers
As shown on the sign above, the tee markers were painted by patients at the Batson Children’s Hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Take a look at the awesome results:
Cleveland drivers: Old vs. new
Cleveland now (from a few years ago, actually)…
Cleveland then.
Michael Bradley took to the range with the old Cleveland Classic Oil Hardened RC 69 persimmon driver. And word from our Tour photographer says he was striping it, consistently hitting 167 ball speed on the Trackman.
I wonder if younger guys such as Jordan Spieth or Jason Day would fair the same?
K.J. Choi’s jaw-dropping Miura Giken irons
Even his caddie is looking at them in awe like, “What the heck are these beauties?”
See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Miura Giken CB-1007 irons in our forums. Also, if you have a few extra minutes to kill, check out this video of how Miura forges its irons.
Bettinardi prototypes
It’s always a treat to see what Bettinardi prototypes pop up on Tour. These feature new finishes and logos.
SuperStroke’s new Pistol putter grips
From the photos, it appears SuperStroke has a new “Pistol GT 2.0” putter grip offered in at least two different colorways, with the company’s patented No Taper technology and counter-weight adjustability. They’re receiving early praise in the forums from our members.
Footjoy Classics Dry Premiere
Nothing better than white on white classics. If FootJoy still sold them at retail, I’d wear them not only on the course, but obnoxiously to dinners and other gatherings also. You can still find classics on the Internet if you do some digging through Ebay or the GolfWRX classifieds. Good luck in your search.
If not, you can always go with ICONs, which are the new age versions of classics.
Lean on me
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain. We all have sorrow. But just remember, I’ll always be here when you need someone to lean on for a photo gallery full of Scotty Camerons to make it all better.
I know that one day, I’ll need to lean on someone else for a gallery of flatstick fire. But that day is not today.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

How is no one talking about those Scotty Tour pics? Wow, they certainly brightened up my day. Thanks Greg (if that was you man)! For all the criticizers of what is and what is not, who cares guys! Remember this is for entertainment only. Stop being such nobs and just enjoy what WRX has presented to us.
