Tiger Woods to step away from golf and seek treatment following car crash arrest – GolfWRXers react
On Tuesday evening, Tiger Woods produced a statement to his social channels announcing that he would be stepping away from golf to seek treatment and focus on his health following his arrest from a car crash.
Posting to his socials, Tiger said:
“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.
I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”

Details on Jason Day’s latest prototype Avoda iron setup
Jason Day is back in his V3 Avoda prototype irons. That’s not new for him. He’s been switching between irons this year to help as he goes through phases of what shots he’s looking to hit. One set will shape the ball more naturally for the Australian, while the other helps straighten up his ball flight.
What is new this week at the 2026 Memorial Tournament, hosted at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village Golf Club, is the concept of progressive swing weighting through Day’s iron setup. Each head has now been weighted using lead tape through the longer irons to increase the swing weight.
“We’ve seen that the majority of players, as the ball moves forwards in their stance, fractionally increasing the swing weight just helps delay the release a little bit,” said Tom Bailey, Avoda Golf Founder, when GolfWRX caught up with him to talk about Day’s newest endeavor. ” It gives them more time to get to that forward ball position.”
It’s a pretty simple philosophy for a company that does some really in-depth club concepts. Basically, the further back the ball position is, the more a golfer will need to release the clubhead earlier to square it up. Then, as the ball gets further forward in the stance, the time to release the club extends, and the golfer will need to do it later in the sequence.
Bailey likes to think of it as Avoda’s own take on moment of inertia matching, where clubs are built to require the same amount of force.

“We just did some testing over the last couple of weeks and found that he (Day) does get along better with a progressively heavier swing weight,” Bailey added. “He gets fractionally heavier by about half a swing weight, so he gets a few swing weights through the set and then through to his woods; they continue progressing.”
Day’s scoring clubs start at around D3 in swing weight, and then, with a little Andrew Von Lossow lead tape action, he transitions up to D5 in his 4-iron, which works perfectly as Day’s 7-wood is D6. Bailey told GolfWRX that Day’s woods continue to progress up to D9 in his driver.
The progressive weighting isn’t the only new option in Day’s bag for Muirfield Village. He’s added a brand-new sand wedge, or should it say sand iron.
“He’s hitting his pitching wedge and his 9-iron and going, these just go through the turf so good, I wish I could have this in my wedges as well,” Bailey added. “… So, we started with making him an iron-head gap wedge. And he used that straight away instead of a wedge-head … He called and said, ‘I don’t really open the face of my sand wedge much either, so why don’t I just have my sand wedge the same as my irons.’ So we built him the exact same head shape, and sole as he’s got on his irons.”

The sand wedge in Day’s bag is similar to the blade prototype irons, which he used earlier this year at the RBC Heritage, if you’re able to keep up.
