#WWBD: What will Bubba do at the Phoenix Open?

Published

Bubba Watson, arguably the most prolific PGA Tour Tweeters and one if its most entertaining personalities, has teamed up with his new sponsor, Oakley, for a dynamic social media promotion that you can be a part of.

If you follow the long-hitting lefty on Twitter (@bubbawatson) you may have seen the #WWBD hashtag and wondered what was going on. Wonder no more.

Here are the facts:

WWBD = “What What Bubba Do,” or alternatively, “What Will Bubba Do”

Watson is asking his nearly 800,000 followers for suggestions as what he should do when he approaches the raucous 16th green Friday at this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.

So far, the “Wobble” has been suggested, in addition to many scenarios involving the General Lee. You can follow along with #WWBD hashtag, here.

Bubba will pick the winning suggestion and the winner will:

Get to see the longest hitter on the PGA Tour obeying his/her command at the greatest party hole in golf.
Receive signed merchandise and memorabilia from the golfer himself.

Send your suggestions to Bubba Watson on Twitter (@bubbawatson) using the hashtag #WWBD or #VivaLaBubba for your chance to win.

Then, keep an eye on Bubba’s Twitter handle to see which tweet he selects, and by all means, tune into the coverage of the Phoenix Open on Friday to see the magic of social media at work.

Oakley, for its part, has the best suggestion so far, in my humble opinion:

GolfWRX is live this week at Colonial Country Club for the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Custom Camerons and some “super” new grips from SuperStroke are filling our galleries early in the week as well as WITBs — including the always interesting “Cashmere Keith” Mitchell.

Check out links to our photos below, which we’ll continue to update throughout the week.

And while you’re making your way through our photos, be sure to check out last year’s incredible gallery of prototype and personal Ben Hogan golf clubs.

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.
