8 Products Made Special for The Masters

The Masters is like an alarm clock for most golfers; it wakes them up from a winter-long hiatus from the game. And once you hear the Masters theme music and a “Hello friends” from Jim Nantz, you can’t help but bring the clubs out of the closet that you stashed away for the offseason.

And to celebrate the excitement, golf companies (and fast food restaurants) release one-off and limited-edition equipment and apparel with a Masters/Augusta National theme. Let’s break out the green and yellow, and break down some of the coolest products made special for the Masters. Some are old, some are new, but they’re all awesome.

Mizuno Irons

According to a Mizuno representative, these prototype irons were built for the domestic market in Japan during the 1990s in very limited quantities. How does one bring his/herself to take a divot with irons this beautiful? h/t reddit/golf

Rory McIlroy Bose Headphones

These limited edition QC25 headphones, designed for select iPod, iPhone and iPad models, will retail for $399.95. Only 500 were made.

While I don’t think Rory sits in airport terminals like us normal folk, these are some sweet head phones.

Learn more about the headphones here.

Lamkin Grips

Lamkin’s special-edition Masters grips include Wrap-Tech, UTx and its new SINK putter model. The Wrap-Tech is built with shock absorption, the UTx is designed for stability ad the SINK putter grip helps to promote alignment and steady hands — all of which Masters participants will need to navigate the diabolical green complexes at Augusta National.

Grips are available for purchase here.

Bettinardi HWY 20

We’re giving one of these awe-inspiring Bettinardi HWY 20 Limited Run DASS “Road to Augusta” prototype putters away in the forums.

Lego replica

There’s loving Augusta, and then there’s a building Lego replicas of Masters leaderboards and Augusta National’s clubhouse. I think we know which category this one falls under.

Here’s the full story.

Augusta Food/Beverage Sign

Even if you haven’t been to The Masters, you’ve probably heard tales of their $1.50 pimento cheese sandwiches and relatively dirt cheap beers.

If you love Augusta and its traditions, this work of art is a great addition to your collection. The artwork is called “A Menu Unlike Any Other” and comes from the Classic Georgia and Sugarloaf Social Club. Profits benefit the Yates Scholarship Program.

Arby’s joins in

Speaking of pimento cheese sandwiches, Arby’s Augusta location has a “pigmento” sandwich on its menu to commemorate The Masters. And it has bacon on it. This should finally answer the question that nobody has asked ever: “I wonder if Arby’s curly fries and bacon would go well with pimento cheese sandwiches?”

Arby’s curly fries and bacon go well with everything.

Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut

Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.

So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)

Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.

Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.

Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.

Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.

Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.

Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”

And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.

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

SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”
