9 Revealing photos from the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral
GolfWRX was live this week from Trump National Doral for the 2016 WGC-Cadillac Championship, hosting the world’s top players including Jordan Spieth, ranked No. 1 in the world, Jason Day (No. 2) and Rory McIlroy (No. 3). In case you missed any of the photos from this week, browse the links below, which include 20 WITB galleries:
Photos from the WGC-Cadillac Championship
In 2014, Donald Trump revamped Doral’s “Blue Monster” with the help of course designers Gil Hanse and David Pillsbury, and the course became decidedly more difficult. Tiger Woods won the WGC-Cadillac event at 19-under par in 2013, while Patrick Reed won with a final score of 4-under in 2014 after the course changes. The Blue Monster now lives up to its monstrous name.
Although we didn’t have a Trump sighting — maybe he’s busy with other things? — we do have a slew of interesting photos this week. Thus, Revealing Photos: The Donald’s Doral.
Bettinardi’s Bikini putter cover
It’s a beautiful day in putter cover land.
Who’s down for some volleyball?
Chris Wood takes us to Blockbuster
“Dodger.” I assume this is a shoutout to Dodger from the 1988 Walt Disney film Oliver & Company, which is inspired by Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist (Google is an amazing place).
Lock it up… You lock it up.
But we’re not done. With the last name Wood, it’s no wonder why he got the nickname Woody.
Which explains the Toy Story shoutout, “There’s a snake in my boots.”
Speaking of Disney Classics…
Graeme McDowell’s lead tape forms a Mighty Ducks classic — the Flying-V! With a wedge, it’s never Knuckle-Puck Time, however.
Your weekly reminder golf is difficult
Especially before the golf season even begins in the Northern states, I believe it’s my job to remind the golfing public that even the pros struggle in this crazy game we call fun. The photo above shows a professional golfer with stance bubbles, horseshoes, strings, poles and mirrors. And he’s putting cross-handed. If you think you’re supposed to emerge from winter shooting the rounds of your life, just use this photo as a reminder how difficult golf is.
Fueled by Mugen
Yusaku Miyazato’s forged Bridgestone wedges are “full milled by Mugen,” which is a Japanese car-racing parts company, a.k.a. Mugen Racing. Surely Bridgestone (a tire company), and Mugen (a racing parts company), have some sort of auto-turned-golf relationship.
The result? Apparently a $750 wedge, according to a GolfWRX forum member.
A top-5 wedge in the world
On the two-year anniversary of Patrick Reed declaring himself a top-5 player in the world at the 2014 WGC-Cadillac Championship, he was spotted testing this Bettinardi 60-degree wedge. And it’s amazing.
Odyssey’s RockStar Energy prototype putter cover
Not much to say here. If this design isn’t inspired by a RockStar Energy drink then I need to retire from Revealing Photos.
But it definitely is.
Smack That
Vokey’s new SM6 finish unveiled
It’s called “I-tried-to-clean-my-wedge-but-left-smear-marks-so-now-I-have-clean-it-again.” Rolls right off the tongue.
