It’s about time that we put a new spin on Tour Rundown. GolfWRX is an equipment aficionado’s dream, both in the forums and on the site. Why not combine the thrill of the gear with the excitement of the professional tours? Let’s do it, starting right now. Tour Rundown gets a four-letter rebrand as Tour Tech Rundown, and promises to bring tournament results your way, plus a focus on the equipment that brought the weekly winners to the top of the podium. Don’t be shy about leaving your take in the comment section. We love to read your thoughts on the workbenches and toolboxes that bring the pros to victory lane. It’s time to say hello to a new day, as TR gives way to TTR. Glove up and enjoy.

Remember this swing? We think that you’ll see many more like it in 2026.

PGA Tour @ Farmers Insurance Open: Rosebud Motel open for business

It’s poignant that, in the week that we lost actor Catherine O’Hara, aka Moira Rose of Schitt’s Creek fame, a namesake swept the competition away in California. Justin Rose played like a man possessed at Torrey Pines. He led after every round, and but for a Sunday bogey at the 12th he would have posted four rounds in the 60s. His margin of victory was seven strokes, and he set a tournament scoring record for extra fun. In a week when one rose withered, another one bloomed.

It’s difficult to say that there was ever a moment when we thought that someone might catch him. Rose was as humanly dominant as one might hope. He led by one over Justin Lower after 18. Lower faded away, and was replaced by Seamus Power after 36. The Rose presence intimidated Power to a round-three 74, and he, in turn, was supplanted by Joel Dahmen. On Sunday, Rose turned on his detractor beam once more, and Dahmen posted 73 when he needed 64. The tour moves into the desert this week, for the WM Phoenix Open and the loudest show in golf.

Gear Bag

Rose eschewed the TaylorMade long irons (4-6) that he had carried for years, to fill out his set with Miura’s in 2026. He added the TC-202 4-iron through 6-iron from the Japanese company to complement the MC-502 7-iron through pitching wedge that were previously in his bag. This week, Rose led the field in two categories: greens in regulation and putts per green in regulation. His Scotty Cameron Phantom T-5 tour prototype putter proved the perfect compatriot for his approach game. As long as Rose keeps his Callaway driver near the fairways, he’ll be a threat to win each week.

LPGA @ Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions: Korda in 54

The only tour pro that appreciates a weather-shrunk event is the winner. Everyone else sees Saturday as moving day, but not final day. In Orlando on Saturday, Nelly Korda rode the hot hand to a 64 and what would prove to be a three-shot victory. Korda was out earlier than the leaders and made up ground as the weather turned nasty. The leaders were called off the Lake Nona course with three holes to play. On Sunday morning. the weather had improved little, and the decision was made to call the event after the leaders finish round three. For Korda, that meant a Sunday off from everything but a smile and a trophy lift. Were Monday and its high in the 50s ever a consideration? We’ll never know. The LPGA is off this week, so a Monday finish would not have delayed arrival to the next venue.

How did Nelly get her Saturday dub? She opened with two birdies and a hole-out eagle on her first three holes. That set quite a tone, and Korda continued to raise the bar. Five more birdies along the way brought her to nine-under. Korda’s sole bogey came at the 17th hole, and even that number was a win of sorts. The winds came up and made the green unputtable. Play was suspended due to the inability of balls to stop remotely close to the cup at the penultimate hole. On Sunday, Amy Yang made three pars to close at minus-ten, three back of the winner. Third went to Brooke Henderson at seven-deep, while Lydia Ko finished on minus-six, for solo fourth.

Nelly’s Gear Bag

Nelly’s Qi4D driver was her difference-maker on Saturday. Korda went away from a familiar driver head shape to this new one, and the results are in. In what would prove to be her final golf holes of the TOC, Nelly ripped drive after drive into the fairway. hitting the short grass 10 of 14 times. Also coming through clutch were her three unique wedges and her TaylorMade NK Proto putter. One wedge zipped an approach into the hole for a killer eagle at the third, while the putter was responsible for 25 putts over the closing 18 holes.

DP World Tour @ Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship: Ready, Freddy?

We can’t believe what Freddy Schott. Wait…we can’t believe what Freddy Schott shot. That’s what we meant to write. The young German golfer matched skills with third-round leader Calum Hill, and last week’s titleist, Patrick Reed, in a two-playoff. All three tied on minus seventeen, a shot ahead of two at 16-deep.

Schott was electric on Sunday. Some of the sparks were good ones, while others were not. He posted seven birdies against two bogeys and a double. His overtime compatriots struggled coming home as well. Hill made bogey at the 72nd hole, to fall into the extra session, while Reed played the closing three holes in plus-one figures. Reed went out quickly, making bogey on the first go-round at 18. The second spin was about survival. Hill went out of bounds with his first drive, then ricocheted a shanked approach off the scoreboard, into the water. Schott stayed inbounds and dry and claimed a first DP World Tour title.

Freddy’s Gear Bag

Loaded with Ping equipment and a Titleist ProV1x ball, Schott could give thanks to a few clubs in particular. His G440 Max driver and a Ping prototype Mini Driver allowed him to rank top 50 in driving accuracy, and first in driving distance. What a Sunday driver!  The other club that came through bit time, was the PLD Custom Ketsch putter. The magic wand earned him the top spot in putts per green in regulation and Schott hit nearly 80 percent of greens on Sunday.

Korn Ferry Tour @ The Panama Championship: Holt on just a sec

Ian Holt has a bit of an uncertain relationship with the Korn Ferry Tour. On one hand, he has consecutive victories spanning two weeks and one great sea. On another hand, with one more win, he will leave the KFT behind, thanks to a tour battlefield promotion to the PGA Tour. Holt followed up his win in the Bahamas last week, with a victory in Panama. A final-round 67 moved Holt from 5th to 1st, two shots clear of Adam Hadwin. The winner doubled his bogeys (3) with birdies (6) on the final day, and was able to hold off PGA Tour veteran Adam Hadwin by two. Trevor Cone placed solot third, two more shots in arrears.

The Club de Golf de Panama was never going to be a pushover. Holt made multiple bogeys each round, and added in two doubles along the way, for humility’s sake. The CDP offered opportunities for birdies, though, and Holt took advantage when available. He tallied twenty-one birds on the week, the best in the field. We aren’t the greatest at making predictions, but we suspect that Holt will have a spot on the big tour by springtime.

After decades on the PGA Tour, Adam Hadwin lost his card in 2025. His runner-up finish in Central America suggests that he plans to return to the PGA Tour as soon as possible. His birdie at the 72nd hole was precisely what tour veterans do when given an opportunity. This week, the KFT travels to Bogota, Colombia, for the Astara Golf Championship.

Gear Bag

Ian Holt is married to no equipment company. No fewer than five brands reside in his golf bag. His Srixon ZXi irons may have been the story of the week, as they elevated him to a T2 in greens in regulation. Holt supported that success with a second-best putts on GIR with his Odyssey Jail Bird 380 putter.

Ninth-year pro Ian Holt enjoyed his first #KornFerryTour win so much @BahamasKFTour in Abaco … he decided to do it again 11 days later at The Panama Championship.
