Watch Westwood, Jimenez, Willett in 2-hole hickory tournament
Fun stuff here: A two-hole hickory tournament after Saturday’s round at the Omega Masters, dubbed the Turn Back Time Challenge (Get it? Omega..watches…time) in honor of 70 years of competition at the European Masters.
Making up the plus-fours and driver-cap wearing foursome: Lee Westwood, Danny Willett, Miguel Angel-Jimenez, and 2013 Hickory World Golf Champion, Paolo Quirici.
Here’s some of the action, via the European Tour’s Twitter.
Miguel, Westwood and Willett as 1930s golfers…

Westwood, it seems, won the antique club showdown with a closest-to-the pin chip in sudden-death playoff with Danny Willett, which you can see below.
And here’s another video with some serious production values and a period-appropriate soundtrack, courtesy of the Omega European Masters YouTube channel.
Willett and Westwood both played the two holes in even par. Quirici was at 1-over, and Jimenez brought up the rear at 3-over.
Westy was awarded, what appears to be, a giant cowbell for his efforts.
We would have liked to have seen some period-appropriate sunglasses from Willett and Jimenez. You know, like these…
But anytime we can see the best golfers in the world trying to get around with the weaponry of yesterday, we’ll take it.
Well played, gents, and cheers for heading out for a couple of exhibition holes after your rounds to whack it around in costume with clubs better suited to a museum.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
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
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.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.

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.

Nice to see they had to wear their corporate sponsor patches. They really were going back in time

The USPGA could have done something similar to this ALL YEAR in Celebration of it’s Centennial.
Could have organized 4 different periods, from hickory, steel, persimmon, and early modern.
Since equipment companies wouldn’t support it, it didn’t happen.

The rounds from various periods is a great idea. Could have been a commercial success too. There are plenty of golf geeks that would buy some nostalgic club sets just for the fun of recreating what they see on tv. That would have to be a better commercial success that an expensive driver with an a huge markup for a red white and blue colorway.
