GolfWRX Forum Thread of the Day: Patrick Reed switching to Mizuno irons?
Today’s GolfWRX Forum Thread of the day concerns Patrick Reed’s recent iron change. This topic brings up Reed’s contract changes, whether he should sign with a company or not, and what irons he will be playing going forward.
Here are a few comments from the forum, but make sure to check the whole thing out in the link below:
- USGA22: “I remember reading somewhere a while ago, when he didn’t re-sign with Callaway or Callaway didn’t want him. They were doing back flips in Carlsbad to have him gone.”
- Marionmg: “I heard these mizunos were made special for him with extra grooves. I think they have 17 groove lines.”
- Chiva: “Probably because Callaway can’t stand him!”

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.

One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:
“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.
Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”
And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.
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.
- redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
- otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech. He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly. Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy. He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for. There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind. World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
- konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.

Perhaps the real answer is… there is BIG money on PGA Tour every week to win and Mizuno irons a simply better than Callaway! for Patrick.
Perhaps this is Callaways fake news crew shaming his character, as admitting Mitzy is a better golf club is too much of a financial loss to the company.
Callaway would never get rid of a Masters winner playing Callaway clubs.
FWIW keep a eye on Patricks stats: GIR Prox

Media for some reason tries to make Reed out as a bad guy….other players they seem to love have some pretty serious character flaws of their own….

Yeah I am sure Callaway hates having a player win the masters using their irons.

Coach said Reed straight up told Callaway he wanted to be their highest paid staffer. They laughed and moved on.
Personally I’d rather play a mixed bag and not have all the obligations associated with a club deal but definitely see how one can be enticed by the money.

Rory got paid $200M with Nike and a ton more with TM.
For that money I’d GLADLY take all the “obligations” associated with a club deal.
