GolfWRX Tournament Coverage – Sony Open

Published

Jan 9, 2008

Thanks to valued GolfWRX member Pitbull808, we have received hundreds of pictures from the Sony Open.

The Sony Open this week is the first full field event on the PGA Tour. After the winter layoff, much of the anticipated 2008 equipment has begun showing up on Tour. Some of the exciting pictures include the new Cameron Fastback, Squareback, Titleist’s new AP 2 irons, Cobra’s Pro CB’s, and and new Wilson Staff Prototypes. Thanks to the hard work of Pitbull808, GolfWRX has in depth coverage of everything that’s new at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. To view the entire picture collection, and discuss in our forums, click on the following threads: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

Putters

Quite a few new putters were seen among the pictures. Scotty was there at the practice tee with his new Squareback and Fastback models.

Also, there are new pictures of Odyssey’s new Black i putter line which has a body milled from carbon steel and has a firmer insert than the XG series. Also pictured is the newly introduced Sabertooth.

Irons

There were several new iron pictures. Especially interesting is the Wilson prototype muscle back clubs.

With the impending release of the AP series of irons, Titleist is expecting many of its players to begin switching over to the new forgiving but still player oriented AP2 iron.

Drivers

Although many of the 2008 releases seem to center around irons and putters, there are some new driver releases expected. Among them are the new Nike SQ Sumo 5000 and Square 5900 drivers pictured in the threads. These drivers have already been in use by Nike staffers such as Stephen Ames and should be released early in February.

Course Pictures

But it’s not just equipment that we’ve covered. Pitbull808 was also kind enough to provide us with course pictures from Waialae Country Club. Simply watching the tournament on TV, it is diffcult to fully appreciate the narrow fairways and beautiful scenery that surrounds Waialae. However, Pitbull808’s pictures do a tremendous job capturing it.

GolfWRX is on site this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship.

While we see fewer equipment changes and new gear seeding at major championships, we get a look at custom gear and looks into the bags of players we rarely see, which is just as exciting. In the case of the PGA Championship, this means a look at the gear some of the PGA Professionals who qualified for the tournament will be gaming, and LIV players, such as Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.

Check out links to all our albums from Valhalla below and check back throughout the week as we continue to update.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.

GolfWRX is on site this week in McKinney, Texas, at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson (FKA the AT&T Byron Nelson).

Last year at TPC Craig Ranch, Jason Day ended a five-year winless streak. J-Day is in the field again, as are Jordan Spieth, Tom Kim, and Will Zalatoris.

We have our usual assortment of general galleries, WITBs, and pullout albums for your perusal. As always, we’ll continue to add links to additional albums as they make their way to us from the Lone Star State.
