11 Revealing Photos from the Wells Fargo Championship
GolfWRX was live this week from the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you missed any of the photo galleries, make sure you browse them below:
Before we start, let’s have a quick moment of silence for the Charlotteans who had to endure a highly disappointing Super Bowl loss earlier this year by their Carolina Panthers.
Ok, shall we move on now?
Good. Now let’s reveal some photos in this week’s Revealing Photos: Try-Not-to-Mention-Peyton-Manning Edition.
Who’s practice station is this?
Whoever’s tugging every putt left this week is probably the culprit. Someone should tell him his putting alignment aids are misaligned. But it may already be too late.
Stevie is a veteran
Only an experienced caddie knows how to fold a pin sheet that precisely. A real pro’s pro.
A peek into Bryson’s bag
Speaking of pros, Bryson DeChambeau recently relinquished his amateur status and signed with Cobra/Puma. Since then, everyone’s been looking at his equipment more closely than the Wells Fargo volunteers above.
Can you blame them? Bryson has the most interesting WITB we’ve seen in years on Tour, and GolfWRXers can’t help but take notice.
As of this week, he’s still gaming Edel’s Frankenstein irons. It looks as though he’s stepping up the intelligence of his wedge stampings, though, which are now going completely over my head. It’s definitely an algorithm to stick it on every shot.
Ernie Els changes irons
Els is now playing Adams XTD irons as of this week. He did not, however, put a new putter cover in the bag. It may be time to, though.
#MayThe4thBeWithYou
James Hahn won May 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day, with the “Hahn Solo” wedge stamping, referencing Han Solo from the Star Wars movie series.
He also has a custom Scotty that’s out of this world. Alien sighting!
The worst job in golf
I’ve never been less envious of a person in my life than of Patrick Reed’s caddie. Hopefully the wind isn’t blowing right-to-left.
Always remember to love thy caddie, and here’s to hoping Patrick Reed didn’t vote “less than 10 percent.”
Checking out the new Flat Cat putter grips
A closer look at the whole litter below.
Who knew that Hugh Jackman*…
Was such a huge supporter of GolfWRX?
*Not the real Hugh Jackman, but I suppose his name could actually be Hugh Jackman by some tremendous coincidence. Then he would be A Hugh Jackman, but still not THE Hugh Jackman.
A balanced conversation
What do you think Mr. Counterbalance and Mr. Face Balance are talking about? I bet there’s not a lot words being twisted, whatever it is.
These guys are good
At golf, and at marking their golf balls, too. Check out Jason Gore’s golf ball marking. He drew a “J.G.” logo, made to look like a music note. I don’t want to sing his praises too much, but that’s pretty cool.
Great causes
To honor and support the victims and families of Japan’s most recent earthquakes, Hideki Matsuyama and other players were spotted wearing these pins.
Also, Rickie Fowler and others participated in the Caddy for a Cure program that raises money and awareness for Fanconi anemia victims.
And while most PGA Tour players sign autographs on hats for kids, Jim Furyk was sporting a hat signed by kids in the First Tee program this week. An awesome gesture.
Remember, golf is a sport that’s meant to be fun, but charity can help change and save lives.

#9 W=F delta S Cos (theta) on Bryson’s wedge is the physics formula for work, so with “Do” written in front of it, it says “Do Work.”

Shouldn’t it be called the Ping S, rather than iBlade? Thought Ping was moving to single letter model names.

Bryson’s EDEL clubs are pretty sick…that would be me in post number 9 admiring the clubs. I had the directional flag on 10 during the pro-am when Greg took that shot.
