Will Rory prove his 9-year old self correct? And when?

Published

on

A recent video ad from Bose brings up a speculative question for golf fans: when will Rory McIlroy win the Masters?

In the short-film, a 9-year old McIlroy said his plans for the future were to “turn pro, and win all of the majors.” Flash forward about 16 years, and Rory now needs just the Masters to capture the career grand slam.

Hey kid, nice swing.

In the short-film, Rory says the Masters “Is just another tournament,” but we know that’s not necessarily the case. It’s good not to put too much pressure on yourself, but he clearly has long-standing goals to win all of the majors. The last one, however, may prove to be his toughest challenge.

Se we ask you:

When do you think Rory will win the Masters, and capture the career Grand Slam?

Rory is an advertiser’s dream right now. He’s a likable, young golf phenom ranked No. 1 in the world, and is working his butt off at the gym and on the range — a decent formula for commercial success.

Here’s a few more short-feature film commercials that give a behind-the-scenes look at McIlroy the person, the gym-rat and the golfer.

    I am sure he dreamt of Playing for Nike at that time. He will get the grand prix but not this year.

    Crazy that he was wearing all Nike at 9 years old

      Not that crazy when you consider that it was 1999, and Big Cat was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
