Rory Watch: Will he play the PGA Championship? (updated)

Published

on

Updated: 8/7/15

Rory is back. Well, he’s back on the range hitting drivers at least.

It’s still unknown whether he’ll be in the field for next week’s PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, but he uploaded a video to Instagram of him hitting driver on Thursday. It’s good to see the world No. 1 making full swings again, although he still has athletic tape on his left ankle.

Feels good to hit the driver again! ??????????

He also posted a workout video (below) to Instagram on Wednesday, showing Rory working out in the gym. These videos are surely giving hope to golf fans that want to see him play in the year’s final major.

As for his ankle injury? I think we could have gone without seeing that one. He shared photos of his ankle injury “4 weeks ago, and 3 and a half weeks ago, respectively,” and I hope you’re not eating as you’re reading this.

Nasty stuff.

And if it turns out he doesn’t play at Whistling Straits, at least we have this trick shot video to enjoy.

On Friday, Rory posted a photo of him flying to America to play golf — if I’m interpreting his emojis correctly. Is this him subliminally telling the world he’s playing in the PGA Championship?

He’s also listed on the recently released PGA Championship tee-time list, as well. He’s set to tee off at 1:20 p.m., with Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson — if he does decide to play the event.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

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

Published

on

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.

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.
