The Hero World Challenge is sometimes chastised as “not a real event”. Don’t tell that to world No.1 Scottie Scheffler, the two-time defending champion who is using the competition as a proving ground for a new TaylorMade driver.
Early headlines at The Annika LPGA event were dominated by 18-year-old Kai Trump and WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark – to the point that Nelly Korda’s return to the course for her first start in six weeks became a secondary story. It’s not often that the 27-year-old is the understudy.
TaylorMade’s Milled Grind 5 wedges are fully forged. It’s a first for the Milled Grind line, and a decision made directly in response to player feedback.
According to TaylorMade tour rep Adrian Rietveld, Scheffler wants “absolutely nothing inside” his driver’s clubhead that might alter performance in any way.
In a new equipment series from Golf Digest, we tested the latest drivers from every major manufacturer on the Golf Laboratories swing robot to determine if they were noticeably better than their predecessors.
The fifth generation of TaylorMade’s players-distance P·790 irons boast a new steel alloy for the face that is 20 percent stronger than in the previous iteration. This allows for a fast, thin face that delivers more rebound at impact.
TaylorMade’s latest version of its Tour Response and Tour Response Stripe boasts a new core, as well as a new mantle layer designed to increase distance for non-elite swing speeds.
Encompassing all the technology of its TP5 and TP5x golf balls, TaylorMade’s TP5 and TP5x TRK-R golf balls are designed to further enhance the launch-monitor experience. Although the balls are designed for indoor use, they are R&A and USGA-conforming and can be played in competition.
With two easy-to-hit shapes boasting multi-material constructions and a re-imagined TSS weighting system, TaylorMade’s Qi35 rescues – also known as hybrids – are designed to save shots from some of the trickiest distances.
