Video: Holly Sonders inks endorsement deal with Cobra-Puma Golf

Published

on

Viewers of The Golf Channel’s “The Morning Drive” and “Playing Lessons from the Pros” may notice that something is different with co-host Holly Sonders.

Sonders has signed a deal with Cobra-Puma Golf, and will be dressed in Puma clothing and use Cobra equipment for her shows.

“(Puma is) really taking clothing to the next level,” Sonders said. “They are really fashion-forward, that’s their main thing. When you think of Puma, you think of loud colors and cool.”

Sonders said she will be wearing a lot of hot pink, golf dresses and a sequin Puma logo, something she hopes will become her identifying characteristic.

“It’s outfit-by-outfit now, but like I said, I want my thing to be the sequins,” she said.

Check out our exclusive video interview with Sonders below:

Sonders’ “Playing Lessons from the Pros” show returns with new episodes next month. She said Rickie Fowler, Natalie Gulbis, Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell have already shot episodes for the new season.

Morning Drive airs weekdays at 7 a.m. EST, while Playing Lessons starts its new season Feb. 5 at 11:30 a.m.

    Why is this a story? She is only 26 but looks 40. She has that used up & thrown away look to her.

    I’m really tired of Holly Sanders. Too old, not that good looking. So now the morning GC is going to be a fashion show? The new format – Morning Show, etc – is a big waste.

      She’s only 26. I’d like to see your wife/girlfriend if Holly’s “not that good looking”.

        agree… just too much of her on GC…. can’t watch it anymore….

    Way to much make up, she’s got a pretty mane though! Looks like silver charm with those chompers!

    So now Golf Channel “talent” is becoming shills for equipment companies? We can now expect her to mention how “Rickie Fowler got up and down from the bunker, using his Cobra sand wedge and looking colorful in his orange Puma outfit, on his way to a top-15 finish. Oh, and Tiger Woods won by 8.”

    She does seem to wear way too much make up.

    +1 for Lauren Thompson.

    What do you expect from a woman who shacks up with Erik Kuselias. Give me Lauren Thompson any day of the week. She is a true professional. Its funny how equipment companies are now throwing money at people that play golf for entertainment.

    Nothing that a lit’l silicone, Botox and severe cover-up by Covergirl can’t fix!I know what she really looks and acts like, it’s not what you see on TV & Pic’s…!

    At least the bright, obnoxious colors of puma will match her bright, obnoxious makeup that she uses to cover her true face

      You must not watch Golf Channel. This gal is F-I-N-E and she loves golf. She may be the perfect woman. Even if she’s not, she is perfectly F-I-N-E.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

on

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

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.”

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.”
