Equipment
MyTaylorMade+: An advanced digital service providing exclusive products, instruction, content and more
TaylorMade Golf Company has introduced MyTaylorMade+ for 2022.
Available on the App Store and Google Play now, MyTaylorMade+ aims to bring the Tour experience to the palm of your hands with personalized coaching from certified PGA Teaching Professionals and instruction from Tour level coaches, including Rick Sessinghaus, coach of two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.
Along with golf and fitness instruction, the app provides data-driven insights, exclusive and early access to select products, custom fitting experiences, Try Then Buy, Tour-built equipment played by TaylorMade athletes and more.
“TaylorMade is built on innovation and pushing the boundaries of product performance, but we know achieving your golfing goals requires more than having the best equipment.
Whether you’re trying to break 90 for the first time or winning a major, it requires coaching – both for the swing and the mind. It requires the body to be in the best possible physical shape and total game analysis to understand strengths and weaknesses. That is why we are excited to launch MyTaylorMade+ and help golfers of all abilities improve and achieve their goals.
Beyond that, MyTaylorMade+ offers the chance to win access to Tour-spec equipment built for Team TaylorMade athletes, gives golfers the ability to try custom drivers before they buy and includes exclusive product drops with equipment that can’t be found anywhere else.” – Nick Robbie, Director of Emerging Opportunities, TaylorMade

Early Access & Exclusive Products: MyTaylorMade+ subscribers will have early access to select new products from TaylorMade, as well as exclusive products only available for purchase on MyTaylorMade+.
Tour Trash: One golfer’s trash is another golfer’s treasure. Tour Trash is a unique collection of equipment that was destined to be played on Tour. Tour Trash allows a user to enter for a chance to win equipment built for and used by TaylorMade athletes.
Try Then Buy: Try Then Buy is a first of its kind experience, allowing MyTaylorMade+ users to test the newest TaylorMade drivers before purchase. Users can build clubs to their specs, ship it to their home and experience the product during a two-week trial period before deciding to purchase the club or return it to TaylorMade free of charge.
Personalized Instruction
After uploading videos of their swing to the app, golfers receive corresponding analysis from their MyTaylorMadeCoach, who will provide a breakdown and rating of the user’s setup, turn, lever, path, release and more.
A roadmap will then be created to take the user on a journey through each swing element with a focus on one area of their swing at a time. An immediate relationship is established between golfer and their MyTaylorMadeCoach, as they work together through submitted swing videos and subsequent analysis.
As the golfer completes each lesson, the coach evaluates and determines when the golfer is ready to move on to the next step of their roadmap.
Scores, Stats & Insights
Under the “Play” tab, users will have access to MyTaylorMadeOnCourse, giving them GPS tracking and advanced statistics and analytics specific to their game and their equipment.
The golfer’s data links directly to their MyTaylorMade+ account to drive personalized insights, content and drills to help them improve in areas specific to their game.
MyTaylorMadeOnCourse will provide users with in-depth statistics and analysis, including scoring averages, Strokes Gained, fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand saves and putts per round. As golfers track their rounds and enter scores, a MyTaylorMade+ handicap will be generated.
Fittings
Users have access to one-on-one time to dial in their equipment with a TaylorMade fitting expert through in-person fittings or a virtual fitting. Results of the fitting are posted in the app, and users can also purchase their equipment directly through MyTaylorMade+.
Club Recommender
By entering previous fitting data or answering a series of questions to receive immediate recommendations on which driver head and shaft are best optimized for their game, users then have the option to either purchase the driver through MyTaylorMade+ or utilize the Try Then Buy feature.
MyTaylorMade+ is available to purchase now on the App store and Google Play.

Welcome to the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
In the last two PGA Championships held at Valhalla, Tiger Woods won in 2000 – when he famously pointed his golf ball into the hole during the historic duel with Bob May – and Rory McIlroy won the 2014 event, basically in the dark on the final hole.
The point is, history shows that Valhalla tends to produce top-tier champions and plenty of drama.
This week at the 2024 PGA Championship, GolfWRX got its first up-close look at what some of the LIV Tour players have in their bags in 2024. We also caught back up with a few PGA Championship legends, such as Rich Beem and John Daly, and we dove into the bags of PGA Sectional qualifiers, too.
In total, we captured 47 different photo galleries this week, including 32 individual What’s In The Bag (WITB) forum threads. Click here to see all of our photos from the event, or continue reading to see my 10 equipment highlights from Valhalla.
1) Brooks Koepka’s new putter
Koepka was previously using a Scotty Cameron T5.5 putter with a slant neck, which he used to win at the beginning of the month in Singapore on the LIV tour. This week, however, he tried a T5.5 with a plumbers neck instead of the slant neck, and it’s immediately going in the bag. According to Scotty Cameron Tour rep Drew Page, Koepka already loved the head, and now finds the plumbers neck a bit more familiar to the blade-style putters he’s used throughout most of his career.
2) The lead tape king returns, with putting goggles
Phil Mickelson has always been one of the GOATs when it comes to lead tape usage, so it was no surprise to see his 64-degree custom Callaway wedge slathered with slabs of lead tape on the back.
The big surprise was that lefty was spotted using ProAim putting training goggles on Wednesday during his warm-up session.
The ProAim goggles are helpful to find center lines and ensure proper alignment to the target.

3) Dobyns’ old-school gamer setup
Speaking of lead tape, check out Matt Dobyn’s old Titleist 718 T-MB irons, which are so loaded with lead tape that the club is nearly unrecognizable.
Respect.
The head professional at Meadow Brook Club is making his sixth start in a PGA Championship, and he’s using a throwback Callaway GBB Epic driver with MOI-boosting lead tape and adjustable weight placements.
As GolfWRX Forum user “InTheBag” pointed out in our Matt Dobyns’ WITB thread, he has the type of setup that makes you want to hide your wallet: “I don’t know Mr. Dobyns, but one look at that bag tells me he can take your money,” writes InTheBag.
Spot on.
4) John Daly’s custom Sub70 irons and wedges
We first saw John Daly using $750 direct-to-consumer Sub70 659-CB irons and TAIII wedges at the 2023 PNC Championship, and he still has them in the bag, but he’s since stepped up the customization on the Sub70 clubs.
Does Daly ever NOT keep things entertaining?

A true showman.
5) DJ’s custom putter
Dustin Johnson has always been one to test multiple putters week-to-week, and he has a keen eye for different alignment lines and crowns. This week, he’s opting for a completely gray TaylorMade Spider Tour “T3.0” prototype with a short slant neck.
See the rest of DJ’s WITB from the week here
6) Patrick Reed still rocking GrindWorks irons
Patrick Reed knows his stuff when it comes to equipment, and he’s a prolific tester. Still, however, the GrindWorks PR-101A irons are squarely in the bag after his departure to the LIV tour.
The most notable new addition to Reed’s bag is this Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood.

7) Beem’s Scratch set
Rich Beem, who won the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National, came to the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla with a bag full of Scratch Golf irons, which are loaded with lead tape and equipped with some of the coolest custom ferrules in professional golf.
See Rich Beem’s full WITB here
8) Jon Rahm’s 10-iron
Before going to LIV, Rahm was using a Callaway Apex TCB pitching wedge.
Now, he’s using a Callaway Apex TCB “10 iron.”
He’s also since upgraded to three Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke metalwoods, and fresh stampings on his Jaws Raw wedges. Click here to see Rahm’s full WITB from the 2024 PGA Championship.
9) “Why so serious?”
Tyrrell Hatton, another LIV player in the 2024 PGA Championship field, channels his inner Joker to ask everyone, “Why so serious?”
10) Block’s “Proto” iron, from address
As you probably know by now, Block switched out of his old TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC 2014 irons, and into a full set of TaylorMade’s new “Proto” irons. We’ve already seen the Proto 4-iron in the bags of Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa, but this is our first look at the higher-lofted irons in the set.
Here’s a look at the 7-iron from address:
See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Proto irons in our Forums
And, with that, we say goodbye to Louisville, and the second major championship of the 2024 season. We’ll see you next week at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas after a champion has been crowned.
Until then, don’t forget to check out all of our photos from this week at the 2024 PGA Championship!
