OAKMONT, Pa. — Bryson DeChambeau has been hinting at a shakeup to his iron setup for more than a year. Even when he made noise at the 2024 Masters with a set of 3D-printed Avoda blades, the reigning U.S. Open champion was working behind the scenes with LA Golf on an iron concept that he Read more…

One of the biggest stories in professional golf over the last several weeks has been Rory McIlroy’s driver—arguably the biggest weapon in his bag.

Ping’s G440 LST is arguably the most fascinating offering in the 2025 driver lineup. Why? Because it does something rarely seen by low-spin drivers — it blends distance, speed and a level of forgiveness that’s max forgiveness-esque.

What’s TaylorMade going to do next? It’s a common question that’s asked during the yearly equipment cycle. Every manufacturer can innovate, but TaylorMade has found ways to buck the status quo.

Tour demand generally leads to retail demand, Read more…

But there’s always an exception to every rule — and P770 is it. Before the P770 came along, there was P790. The iron ushered Read more…
Ping’s G440 is something special. And when I say special, I mean it could wind up being one of the most complete lineups we’ve ever seen in the company’s storied history. Yeah, it’s that good.

It’s all Read more…
CHARLOTTE — Equipment superstitions exist at the highest level of professional golf. Just because a pro’s resume boasts a couple of tour wins and a major title doesn’t make them immune to bad juju. You do whatever it takes to keep the Golf Gods happy. Let’s use Sahith Theegala’s 7-iron as an example. During the Read more…
