TOUR REPORT: The unusual gear connection between Scottie Scheffler and Max McGreevy

Published

on

Wait a second, this isn’t Charlotte?!

Typically, the Wells Fargo Championship is hosted at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, but since Quail Hollow is hosting the 2022 Presidents Cup, the Wells Fargo is being played at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Maryland this year.

Crab cakes, football, and apparently the Wells Fargo Championship, that’s what Maryland does (at least in 2022).

Anyway, GolfWRX was live this week from the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship to dive into pros’ golf bags and see what gear they’re playing, and why.

It was a fun week for gear, so let’s get right into this week’s Tour Report.

If you want to see all of our photos from the Wells Fargo, click here!

Rory Sabbatini’s eye-catching (and expensive) golf bag

Rory Sabbatini always turns heads with his outfits, but this week it was his new golf bag that was making fans, and even fellow pros and caddies, stop in their tracks.

The wild-looking, innovative golf bag is made by Decolt Grand, and the Geum Technology means the irons and wedges are actually placed upside-down onto the exterior of the bag. Using high-tech materials and new age designs, Decolt Grand makes high-end electric carts and carry bags, and the lower CG (center of gravity) of the bag makes them more stable for mobility. It also means the clubs are easily accessible, and helps to prevent bag chatter.

The Decolt Grand bag with electric cart will run you $4,999. In the comments below, let us know what you think about the bag design.

Max McGreevy’s Nike VR Pro Limited fairway wood

Apparently, Grant Hirschman is the plug on Nike VR Pro Limited fairway woods, according to Max McGreevy. This week, we highlighted Max McGreevy’s 2022 WITB setup, and we noticed he’s currently using a Nike VR Pro Limited 5-wood.

As you may remember, Scottie Scheffler also used this fairway wood model for years, until recently switching it out for a TaylorMade Stealth fairway.

Well, as McGreevy revealed to GolfWRX this week, Scheffler and McGreevy both got their Nike VR Pro Limited fairway woods from the same guy: Grant Hirschman.

Here’s what McGreevy had to say about his Nike VR Pro Limited fairway wood…

“I think I started using it two years ago. I used to use the 3 wood and I’d been looking for a 5 wood, and my roommate Grant Hirschman, he had one from when he was 15. They made him one down at The Oven back in the day. I just asked him if I could mess around with it. I think that was during Covid times when we had a couple months off. Ever since then I just fell in love with it…Grant I guess is the source of all of it. He gave Scottie a backup to his VR Pro because he had cracked the other one. He was the plug on VR Pros.

It’s controlling, it looks good. It’s kind of an old school look to it. Some of these, I mean, most of these woods still look pretty good nowadays, but they just go too far…you see a lot of 7 woods now just because the 5 woods are going too far. I like hybrids, but I’m kind of a low spin guy and a 5 wood just kind of fits in my bag perfectly. Just the way it looks, it’s kind of old school, and I like it like that…

“I can get them to make me one that’s a 20-degree 5 wood type of thing, but then you’re seeing too much face and it’s still popping off a little bit higher and goes about 10 yards farther. I’m not a super long guy in the first place, I don’t need my 5 wood going 5-10 yards less than my 3 wood. It just fits in my bag perfectly. I’ve messed around with other stuff, it just doesn’t quite work perfectly with yardages and stuff like that. I have one backup, so hopefully I won’t be cracking them anytime soon.”

McGreevy says he’s currently accepting offers for another backup via his Instagram page, so if you have an extra one laying around and want to be of assistance, hit him up in the DMs.

McGreevy is also notably using a Scotty Cameron Red X putter, with lead tape caked on the sole, and directly behind the face. So much nostalgia!

Check out Mcgreevy’s full WITB here from the Wells Fargo. 

Billy Hurley III’s awesome setup

McGreevy wasn’t the only bag we spotted this week that was full of older equipment. Billy Hurley III also wowed us with his old school setup, which features hybrids from 2014, 2017 and 2018.

He’s also using Bridgestone J40 prototype irons, which I suggest checking out in our forum thread here.

Rickie makes big changes

In case you missed it, earlier this week we highlighted some big changes that Fowler made this week, including switching back into KBS Tour C-Taper 125 S+ shafts, and adding a new Cobra King Stingray 20 prototype putter that was 3D printed.

Here’s what Fowler had to say…

“The C-Tapers help get me back to where I want spin to be at,” Fowler told GolfWRX. “And yeah, I can manipulate loft and stuff like that to get spin where I want and all that, but like I said, something I’ve had success with, know it works, so yeah, I’m just in a good spot right now equipment wise. Not that we were in the wrong spot by any means. The MMTs did what I wanted originally. As things continued to get better, I was looking to add a little bit of spin.”

“With the Stingray, the one that’s in line has some wings on it. So we made one without those just to condense it a little bit and make it a little more…I don’t like having too much weight in the rear. A lot of mallets, you get weight in the back, where I feel like I’m kind of dragging a lot of times if it’s not a face balanced putter, the face will swing open and I feel like it kind of stays there. So that was the reasoning taking those off. There is a touch of toe hang on it, just to where there is a little bit of swing. The guys at Cobra were able to make that up, and I spent the last two weeks with it at home…

“They’re 3D printed, so that’s what’s nice with a lot of that, and the technology where we’re able to make little tweaks. Instead of having to make a completely new head, they can put that data in and print it up.”

One of the best putters on Tour reveals his putting secrets

Denny McCarthy is one of the best putters on the PGA Tour, ranking No. 1 in Strokes Gained: Putting in both 2019 and 2022.

What makes him such a good putter? Well, that’s what we wanted to know.

This week, we highlighted 5 putting tips from McCarthy over on PGATOUR.com. We recommend checking out the entire story here, but below is a snippet from McCarthy regarding his putting mentality.

“Treat it more as an art form than a science,” McCarthy said. “You don’t have to have a perfect stroke. My stroke is not perfect. I’m a good putter because I can see the greens well, and I track spots and I treat it more as an art form. I’m picking spots and ball marks, anything that stands out in my line. I line up my ball around those areas and see the arc of the putt as opposed to worrying about what my strokes doing…

“Have fun with it as opposed to like, ‘Oh shoot, I haven’t putted well today. I’ve missed a bunch from this length.’ No, …go up there and pick a spot and get up and be confident and just hit a good putt. It’s more about the process than the result … to me. It’s about the process of going through what you’re seeing and hitting good putts. Once you hit the putt there’s nothing you can do after that, it’s out of my control. If I do everything well that I can control, I’ll be in good hands.”

Odyssey launches Two-Ball Eleven putters

One of the most popular mallet-style designs – the Odyssey 2-ball – continues to make it into new age technologies. This week, we got our first look at Odyssey’s new Two-Ball 11 Tour Lined putters, which have officially launched on the PGA Tour. We’ll update you with more information on the putters when it becomes available.

For now, check out all of our photos of the new putters.

Gutschewski’s headcovers

Any wrestling fans or video gamers here? If so, then Scott Gutschewski’s Stone Cold Steve Austin and Street Fighter headcovers are right up your alley.

For those who don’t care about that and just want to see his clubs, you can see his full 2022 WITB here. Just a heads up, he’s a big fan of lead tape.

Nostalgic grips

Golf Pride’s update on Victory cord grips always seem to give golfers that nostalgic feeling. This week, we asked GolfWRX Instagram followers what old golf club the grips most remind them of, so make sure to check out those comments in the Instagram post above.

This particular grip belongs to Bo Van Pelt, who uses them throughout his bag, which is full of gear from different brands.

And with that, we wrap up this week’s Tour Report from the Wells Fargo in Maryland. We’ll see you next week in Texas for the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson.

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.

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

Published

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.”
