GolfWRX is live this week from the first event in the 2014 FedEx Cup Playoffs – The Barclays at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, N.J. The course will play as a par 71, measuring 7,319 yards for the event.

The top 125 players on the FedEx Cup points list qualified for this week’s event, and the top 100 will move on to the Deutsche Bank Championship, the next leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Leading the points list are Rory McIlroy (No. 1 in FedEx Cup points), Jimmy Walker (No. 2), Bubba Watson (No. 3), Matt Kuchar (No. 4) and Jim Furyk (No. 5).

McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 ranked player according to the Official World Golf Rankings in addition to FedEx Cup points leader, is looking to win his fourth straight appearance, which includes two major championships (The Open, PGA Championship).

Adam Scott, ranked No. 2 in the OWGR and No. 14 in the FedEx Cup points standings, comes into this week as the defending champion, having held off Tiger Woods and Justin Rose at The Barclays last year at Liberty National. Although Scott won The Barclays, Henrik Stenson went onto win the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and the $10 million prize.

    owwww the 915d5, I heard that they were making a few prototype models for specific players, this being Adams Scotts 400cc?? Would love to play a new small headed driver, I have a Dymo 380cc now and bomb it when im swinging well.

    What’s with the super stroke grip on an iron for Kevin Chappell? Seems strange no?

      Was thinkin same! Possibly helps his feeling of keep flat left wrist at impact?

    Would love to see if Rory put the Vapors into play. Can’t imagine he would given the run he is on, however they did have the big unveiling the other night with Tiger and Jimmy Fallon.

      I was thinking the same thing. Highly doubtful he would make any change until after the season – if then even – given the run he is on. To me, the Vapors do not seem like tour clubs. I saw pics a few weeks ago of the Nike MMProto’s, a limited edition forged Nike iron set. Not sure if those are related to the Vapors or not, but many tour pros are starting to test those according to this article:

        You know nothing, Shawn, so shut it. The Vapors are awesome irons.

        The MM Protos were the Vapor prototype. Vapor Pro is same club, albeit more colorful. They also re-did the pro-combo and added a cast “speed” GI iron based on the same design.

    Did anyone else notice Charles Howell III using MP15 irons with KBS shafts!!!! Wow – he was MP64 with X100 previously.

    Really like those all gray TM putter. So nice when they stick to one head color. I think the TM haters population is going to go down quite a bit. Love their TP irons, SLDR are solid, Ultimate DI looks cool, new darker counter balance putters are way better than the easily chipping white ones. I was suprised in a good way by the jetspeed(with the right shaft). Gotta say the stand bags were so ugly this year.

      Yes, I also love that all-grey putter.

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley

Published

on

Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.

Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.

PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole

Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.

Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!

Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.

Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.

Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

Celine’s Suitcase

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!

Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.

Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.

Kaneko’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping Max G440
  • Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees
  • Irons: TaylorMade P760 5 and 6 irons
  • Irons: TaylorMade P7TW 7-9 irons
  • Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design at 46, 52, 56, and 60 degrees
  • Putter: Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Arm Lock #7

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro

Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.

The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.

Alvaro’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping G430 MAX driver at 9 degrees loft
  • Metal: Ping G430 MAX 3W
  • Iron: Ping iDi Driving Iron

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin

Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.

Niemann’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping 440 LST
  • Metal: Ping G440 Max at 15 degrees
  • Metal: Ping G425 Max at 21 degrees
  • Hybrid: Ping G430 at 25 degrees
