For years, Fujikura’s Ventus shafts have been one of the hottest shaft lineups in professional golf. Fujikura’s original line of Ventus shafts, in addition to their second-generation Ventus TR, can be seen all over the professional tours each weekend and throughout amateur bags across the country. Recently, Ventus recently took the top four spots in our Members Choice voting, with Fujikura Ventus TR Blue taking the top spot overall.

Lucas Glover recently enjoyed back-to-back PGA Tour wins with Ventus as a staple in his driver and woods. Glover uses the Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 X in his Srixon Z785 driver, the Ventus Black 8 X in his Ping G430 Max 3-wood, and the Ventus Black 10 X in his Ping G430 Max 5-wood.

Additionally, some of the biggest names in golf, including Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, use Ventus in both their drivers and fairway woods. While Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, and Cam Smith, also use different Ventus models in their 3-woods.

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!
