15 Revealing photos from the Wyndham Championship

Published

on

GolfWRX is live this week from the 2015 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. If you missed any of this week’s photos, check out the galleries below:

The big story this week is that Tiger Woods committed to the event for the first time, which most likely means a “Tiger Cut Watch” on Friday, a “what went wrong for Tiger” segment on Saturday… then enjoying the leaders play on Sunday. But actually, I chose Tiger as value pick this week. I mean, you can’t make a great pick by going with the sheep, right?

Anyways, onto the Revealing Photos from this week at the Wyndham.

Let’s start with a Scotty Cameron gallery…

Satisfy the gear fix for the equipment junkies right off the bat. A true man of the people.

GolfWRX chips putting a smile on everyone’s face!

But I personally think it’s full of hot air.

He doesn’t look happy with the first tee shot with it, however.

Creatively uses the center circle as the end of the tank gun barrel. Cool stuff… if you like staring down the barrel of a gun every time you take the putter out of your bag.

Does Tiger know the tag is always sticking out of his hat?

I feel like someone should tell him.

I can’t believe 59 Belts went through all that treble to make this for Jason…

Pretty cool tee markers, though.

What do I think about this week’s revealing photos?

Overall, I’d say it was a decent week.

    Has anyone ever bought a tee marker from a PGA tour event? Those things are really cool and I wish I could buy one.

        Thanks but I have the easy part of the job. Just take 1000+ photos. AT has to look at them all, pick the best and then write something clever. That to me is the hard part.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
