19 Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo Championship

Published

on

Last week, The Players Championship was about as exciting as it gets; Rickie Fowler beat out Kevin Kisner and Sergio Garcia in a playoff to cap off one of the best finishes on the PGA Tour in recent memory.

This week, the Tour is at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C. Maybe we shouldn’t expect the same exciting finish, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a fresh batch of photos to analyze.

Here’s this week’s edition of Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo at Quail Hollow Club, and in case you missed it, here are all the photo galleries from the 2015 Wells Fargo.

Back-breaking move here from Colts fan Patrick Rodgers

a9e27638027bec57f8189f5c4d712495

Back-breaking… like what the Colts did to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots by tattling about deflated footballs; eventually costing Brady a 4-game suspension, $1 million and two top draft picks for the Pats.

This week in “These PGA Tour guys are pampered,” the most perfect grass range in existence

3ffc0d0b208cd135351602717521056e

And look at all these targets.

An average golfer’s dream, but just business as usual for the PGA Tour guys.

Luke Donald put the Mizuno JPX Prototype driver in play last week at The Players

Is Chuckie 3 Sticks next? We spotted him testing Mizuno’s new driver this week, as well.

“Should I have worn the plaid pants?”

2acfd83d4ad1c34ea1cd234d6bd8122e

“Ehhh, maybe not.”

Is that, what I think it is?

2d4c01d82c687437e90138643856131d

This BioMech TechDeck is kickflippin’ into everyone’s bag these days, eh?

Jhonny Vegas is sponsored by MGM Grand Las Vegas

3e6a0dba96aab0f24f8fcd14db4be8d7

The biggest no-brainer, player-sponsor combination of all time.

Phil Mickelson starring as Crocodile Dundee at the Wells Fargo

Gator leather shoes, belt and even yardage book? Can’t imagine PETA is rooting for Phil this week.

Louis Oosthuizen testing out Mitsubishi Rayon’s “Tensei” Tour prototype

Enjoy the photos, because we don’t have any information on the prototype shaft… yet.

Chesson Hadley reminds me of someone

943adecce6b92a5427e725ef93f0cb71

Remember in the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia when “the guys” compare Dee’s dance moves to an inflatable man that car dealerships use to promote a big sale?

The resemblance here is uncanny.

Three bro’s, three poker chips…

Three happy faces. If you’re at a Tour event, make sure to find photographer Greg Moore and ask for a GolfWRX poker chip.

Golf Pride TalkBack putter grip, Golf Pride putter headcover, Golf Pride putter shaft label…

94838bdce170fe8135f14bac63cf289e

Is there a Golf Pride putter that we don’t know about?

A weekly reminder how difficult golf is

Look at all these training aids specifically designed to help golfers putt the ball into the hole. Boards, path guiders, mirrors, sticks… and these guys are the best in the world.

It appears that Sam Saunders is in full NHL Playoff mode

a07ca26f31bd677b15cc53fd1a273846

He even wrapped his putter grip like a hockey stick.

Finally spotted: K.J. Choi NOT working out at the range

de09082fc9f72a3f525c947431275553And it looks as though he’s testing Matrix Ozik’s new MF Series X4 shaft. He’ll probably test it between sets of squats.

Is Jason Gore signing autographs?

Or asking for directions?

Kevin Chappell’s delicious bag full of Vapors

Question: Does being sponsored by Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse mean you get free meals at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse? Follow up question: Does Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse sponsor golf writers? I’m asking for a friend.

Just when you think you know someone, they switch it up on you

I thought Robert Streb only had Step Brothers quotes stamped on his wedges, but this island green stamping puts my judgements to rest. I underestimated you, Robert, and for that I apologize.

Tour Edge Exotics new CB Pro F2 fairway wood

Like the new CB Pro U hybrids, the CB Pro F2 fairway woods also feature steel fork heads attached to their soles for better turf interaction.

Note: No cutlery or kitchenware was actually used in the construction of these golf clubs. 

If you ever think you’re too good to play “game-improvement” clubs, or that pros only play blades…

Just check out Tom Gillis’ bag of Titleist AP1 irons, which include a mix of 712 and 714 models. Scorecards don’t care about head size.

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.

    Where will Streb take his wedge personalization next? The be-dazzler?

    You should at least h/t Jimmy Fallon for the old joke about the Mattress Firm inflatable flailing arm man.

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.”

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.”
