Our weekly tour photos are great for checking out the latest equipment and apparel buzz in golf, or just killing time at work. But they’re also a great learning tool.

The photos from the 2015 Masters taught me a lot this week, and I share my newfound knowledge below.

Tiger Woods’ security guard ain’t nothin’ to mess with

And this is the most intimidating photo of a man wearing a pink golf shirt I’ve seen to date.

The Masters has its own water bottle labels

And I really want one as a souvenir.

Taylor Swift has a doppelganger prowling the grounds at Augusta National.

And she wears boots with really long laces.

Gary Woodland wears a 42 Long Green Jacket.

And uses a 48-degree Titleist Vokey 200 Series Spin Milled wedge with 10 degrees of bounce.

Don’t look at Rory’s Volt-colored golf bag for too long.

I learned this the hard way.

Chicago Bears fans really do exist

And they’re willing to admit that publicly.

Rickie Fowler has a new Matrix Prototype driver shaft in his Cobra Fly-Z+ driver

And he’s intrigued by Phil Mickelson’s Callaway Mack Daddy PM-grind wedge.

The Masters has its own drinking cups

Which I also need as a souvenir, immediately.

Jonas Blixt positions the FlipZone weight in the back setting on his Cobra Fly-Z+ driver

And still images of floating tees look cool.

Adam Scott is back to a long putter at the 2015 Masters

And he uses an actual level to warm-up on the putting green.

Tiger Woods is wearing his old TW ’11 golf shoes due to “swing changes.”

Looks like the new release pattern affects both chipping technique and wardrobe selections.

If you’re on a college budget, you can’t afford to not buy food at the Masters

And Augusta’s famous Pimento Cheese really is only $1.50.

The tee shot on hole No. 18 is as diabolically intimidating as it looks on TV

And it looks like laying up in front of the chute would be a heady play.

Snedeker’s caddy does NOT like when Tiger Woods is happy.

Seriously, can someone get stared down any harder?

The green complexes at Augusta look even more difficult than on TV

How many humps, bumps and breaks can you have on one green?

Tiger’s glove has a looser fit than his shirts

And he’s had a blister on his right middle finger for about 20 years now.

Ian Poulter owns the coolest Masters-themed putter cover of all time

No contest.

All-pink everything

Bubba Watson even uses a pink Sharpie to mark his golf balls.

Half-log benches look awesome

Before seeing these photos, I had no idea I needed a half-log bench in my apartment. Now, it’s the only thing I truly need in the world.

Life exists in the town of Augusta, Ga. outside of the Masters

Who knew?

Equipment

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored. One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs. They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done. This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did. But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world. I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″

To check out the full listing in our BST forum, head through the link: Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

This is the most impressive current listing from the GolfWRX BST, and if you are curious about the rules to participate in the BST Forum you can check them out here: GolfWRX BST Rules
