This is a great time of year for gearheads as we get sneak peeks at what companies might be bringing out for 2026! This week, we spotted Luke Clanton at the 2025 RSM Classic with a new TaylorMade Qi4D driver in his bag.

The new TaylorMade Qi4D appears to be outfitted with a darker finish than the silver carbon fiber on the current Qi35 drivers and woods. I like the darker look, as it is sleek and stealthy, with dark blue and orange accents. The shape from address also looks to be a little more like the Qi35 LS than the larger footprint of the standard Qi35.

You can also see a little more slope in the shape from the hosel to the back of the driver. We see a little blue around the outside of the driver, and it looks like TaylorMade is matching the face with a dark blue. That means the face is again carbon fiber. Luke’s driver also has the reflective dots for a launch monitor attached to it.

From these photos, the biggest thing, for me, is the four movable weights on the sole and back of the driver. This looks to add a bunch of adjustability to the driver and pays homage to some iconic older R7 Quad products. This head seems to be using a combination of 14-gram and 4-gram weights to create a specific launch profile for Luke. I’m not sure what weight combinations we might see when this comes to retail.

Looking at the loft on the heel of the driver, and I don’t see any dots above the loft, so this looks to be a retail head and maybe not something tour only. A reshaped carbon fiber sole plate looks to force some more weight back and low in the head, where the two weights are to possibly increase stability and forgiveness. TaylorMade isn’t giving out any details yet on what is under the hood of the Qi4D nor has indicated any potential release date, so right now, everything is just pure speculation.

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!
