11 Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo Championship
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.
#MayThe4thBeWithYou
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.”
Checking out the new Flat Cat putter grips
A closer look at the whole litter below.
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.

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.”

#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.
