We spotted Tiger Woods with a new shaft in his TaylorMade Tour Preferred UDI 2-iron at The Memorial Tournament, Thursday.

Woods had been playing a steel shaft in the club (Project X PXi 7.0), but we’ve confirmed the 14-time major champion switched to a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White Hybrid 100 shaft in his driving iron.

Naturally, GolfWRX forum members were quick to spot the switch and there’s already a thread dedicated to the topic.

Woods now plays the some variety of the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro in all of his graphite shafts.

Driver: TaylorMade M3 460 (8.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 70TX

3-Wood: TaylorMade M3 (15 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 80TX

5-Wood: TaylorMade M1 2017 (19 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 90TX

See Woods’ full WITB (minus the new TaylorMade MG wedges) here.

    Rory is suffering from premature aged spine… ergo graphite shafts for more floppy soggy flexing and less body stress.

GolfWRX is on site this week at the Valero Texas Open.

The event has been around since 1922, making it one of the oldest on the PGA Tour calendar. Over the years, it’s been held at a variety of courses across the Lone Star State, but it’s found its home at TPC San Antonio in recent years. Some of the biggest names in golf have taken home the title here, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and Ben Crenshaw.

GolfWRX has its usual assortment of general galleries, WITBs and special pull-out albums. As always, we’ll continue to update the links below as more photos come in from TPC San Antonio.
