10 Revealing Photos from the 2016 Valspar Championship

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the 2016 Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida. If you missed any of this week’s photos, browse the links below.

Jordan Spieth won the second PGA Tour event of his career last year at the Valspar Championship. This year, he enters as the world’s No. 1-ranked golfer and heavy favorite to win, despite a recent stretch of mediocre play. Also, he doesn’t have to compete with the short-putter-using Adam Scott, who refuses to lose of late.

But anyway, this week’s Revealing Photos from Innisbrook.

Darkness.

Maybe Parsons is a big fan of Chappelle’s Show? All jokes aside, those irons look bad (the good “bad,” not the bad “bad”).

*I know the joke has been used a few times in the comments of the front page story and in the forums already, but that doesn’t make it any less funny.

Finish that quote

“Damn you people. This…”

(Quote drops at :58 seconds).

“…is golf! Not a rock concert!”

Shooter McGavin quotes don’t get old. They just don’t.

Camouflage faded-denim, striped pants?

What’s he blending into?

Dot’s so sweet.

CHIII stays up on trends

Is there anyone who stays up on the latest cool gear more than CHIII? He’s a #PXGtroop member, and now we spotted him with SuperStroke club grips, which Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia and Jason Dufner have recently put on their clubs.

Poor man’s putting aids

All you really need to get better at putting is a golf tee and a few rubber bands.

There’s no better way to keep your putting together than a few rubber bands, eh Padraig?

Quiet, please

How can Tony Finau expect quiet on the tee when his shoes cause such a disturbance?

K.J. doing K.J. things

Working out on a crowded range without a care in the world, and doing golf’s equivalent of wind sprints.

Maybe there’s a reason why he’s had tremendous longevity on Tour. Explain that one, Brandel. 

Jason Gore is GolfWRX

Earlier this year, Jason Gore hosted a Q&A in the GolfWRX forums, raving about his performance with Callaway’s new XR 16 SubZero driver. And now, just a few months later, he has a Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 816 DBD in play.

GolfWRXers just never change their ways, do they.

P. Reed struggling to find a lob wedge

Last week it was a Bettinardi lob wedge, this week he’s testing a Mack Daddy 2 Tour Grind and two different Vokey lob wedges.

Who knew both Gore and P. Reed were GolfWRX Members?

    Reed should go to Edel Golf and get custom fitted for a wedge. They have made a science out of proper wedge fitting.
