Top-30 equipment photos from the 2021-2022 PGA Tour season
During the practice round days of every event during the PGA Tour season, GolfWRX photographer Greg Moore is out taking photos of the golf clubs and equipment that PGA Tour players use. Whether it’s brand new equipment, a club that’s been in the bag for a decade, or a custom 1-of-1 product, Moore is there to photograph it.
As for myself, I rejoined GolfWRX.com this year to team up with Moore each week to tell the stories behind the equipment PGA Tour players use, and to help out taking photos when needed (which is rare, because Moore usually has the inside scoop on everything).

While taking a look back over the season’s worth of our weekly equipment photos, I wanted to compile a list of some of my favorites. I was going to narrow it down to my top-10 photos, but there were just too many cool custom builds that we spotted this year to overlook.
So, below are my top-30 favorite equipment photos from this year, with related links for each to see more photos and read the stories behind them. Enjoy the look back from this season, and we’ll see you soon in Napa for the start of the 2022-23 season.
