11 Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo Championship

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you missed any of the photo galleries, make sure you browse them below:

Before we start, let’s have a quick moment of silence for the Charlotteans who had to endure a highly disappointing Super Bowl loss earlier this year by their Carolina Panthers.

Ok, shall we move on now?

Good. Now let’s reveal some photos in this week’s Revealing Photos: Try-Not-to-Mention-Peyton-Manning Edition.

Who’s practice station is this?

Whoever’s tugging every putt left this week is probably the culprit. Someone should tell him his putting alignment aids are misaligned. But it may already be too late.

Stevie is a veteran

Only an experienced caddie knows how to fold a pin sheet that precisely. A real pro’s pro.

A peek into Bryson’s bag

Speaking of pros, Bryson DeChambeau recently relinquished his amateur status and signed with Cobra/Puma. Since then, everyone’s been looking at his equipment more closely than the Wells Fargo volunteers above.

Can you blame them? Bryson has the most interesting WITB we’ve seen in years on Tour, and GolfWRXers can’t help but take notice.

As of this week, he’s still gaming Edel’s Frankenstein irons. It looks as though he’s stepping up the intelligence of his wedge stampings, though, which are now going completely over my head. It’s definitely an algorithm to stick it on every shot.

Ernie Els changes irons

Els is now playing Adams XTD irons as of this week. He did not, however, put a new putter cover in the bag. It may be time to, though.

James Hahn won May 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day, with the “Hahn Solo” wedge stamping, referencing Han Solo from the Star Wars movie series.

He also has a custom Scotty that’s out of this world. Alien sighting!

The worst job in golf

I’ve never been less envious of a person in my life than of Patrick Reed’s caddie. Hopefully the wind isn’t blowing right-to-left.

Always remember to love thy caddie, and here’s to hoping Patrick Reed didn’t vote “less than 10 percent.”

Who knew that Hugh Jackman*…

Was such a huge supporter of GolfWRX?

*Not the real Hugh Jackman, but I suppose his name could actually be Hugh Jackman by some tremendous coincidence. Then he would be A Hugh Jackman, but still not THE Hugh Jackman. 

A balanced conversation

What do you think Mr. Counterbalance and Mr. Face Balance are talking about? I bet there’s not a lot words being twisted, whatever it is.

These guys are good

At golf, and at marking their golf balls, too. Check out Jason Gore’s golf ball marking. He drew a “J.G.” logo, made to look like a music note. I don’t want to sing his praises too much, but that’s pretty cool.

Great causes

To honor and support the victims and families of Japan’s most recent earthquakes, Hideki Matsuyama and other players were spotted wearing these pins.

Also, Rickie Fowler and others participated in the Caddy for a Cure program that raises money and awareness for Fanconi anemia victims.

And while most PGA Tour players sign autographs on hats for kids, Jim Furyk was sporting a hat signed by kids in the First Tee program this week. An awesome gesture.

Remember, golf is a sport that’s meant to be fun, but charity can help change and save lives.

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.

    #9 W=F delta S Cos (theta) on Bryson’s wedge is the physics formula for work, so with “Do” written in front of it, it says “Do Work.”

    Shouldn’t it be called the Ping S, rather than iBlade? Thought Ping was moving to single letter model names.

    Bryson’s EDEL clubs are pretty sick…that would be me in post number 9 admiring the clubs. I had the directional flag on 10 during the pro-am when Greg took that shot.

      Sick = viral or bacterial infection
      Syc = awesome, nice, sweet, et cetera

      Ugh, east coast people

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.”
