Discussion Thread: 2018 CareerBuilder Challenge

[atursky]

GolfWRX is live from the 2018 CareerBuilder Challenge at the TPC Stadium Course at PGA West (7,113 yards, par 72) in La Quinta, California.

 

The field this week is headlined by Jon Rahm, who's currently ranked No. 3 in the Official World Golf Rankings after his second-place finish at the 2018 Sentry Tournament of Champions two weeks ago. Joining him in the field are notables John Daly, Brian Harman, last week's Sony Open champion Patton Kizzire, Phil Mickelson, Jimmy Walker and Bubba Watson.

 

Defending-champion Hudson Swafford notched his first career victory at the 2017 CareerBuilders Challenge, where he won by one stroke over Adam Hadwin. He'll be back in the field this year to defend his title.

Was looking forward to the new Callaway staff bag. For me it doesn’t disappoint. Like that they used a lot of black with the Rogue blue. Will probably be switching to it this year.

Tiny amounts of lead tape on David Hearn's PXG irons. Pure placebo effect.

Had to have made a whole 8 revs of difference in spin. I am sure feel was sent through the roof as well.

[TMagRoss]

I’m mostly looking forward to an update WITB for Garrigus

[bigeasy]

David Lingmerth has finally ditched the i25s, moved into the i200, last of the holdouts. I still have mine as a backup.

[Mikey Town]

The Scotty bag... with the matching headcovers... full of Darkness irons.

 

What would they say about that one in the "Judging a player by their bag" thread?

[UncleJohn’sBand]

How about SK’s crazy RTX wedge

[Sean2]

Nice to see that Sang Moon Bae is back.

Shot his WITB at Safeway at Silverado in October. No new stuff under the Rogue covers yet!

I wasn't aware of that Greg. I saw that he played a tournament in South Korea, but wasn't sure when he was going to be back on the PGA Tour.

 

ps: Good luck to Jason Gore as well!

Did we just see all the 2018 Evnroll putters?

[MarkB10]

Who makes that Scotty Cameron bag?

[callawayjay]

I’m a cally bag hoe. Absolutely need that one to add to my collection

[campion]

No info on the red Evenflow yet?

That’s a sick looking shaft

[speeder717]

Looks like most of the Callaway guys have all moved to MD4 wedges... lots of guys still using MD2 last year over the 3, so the 4 must be realllly good. Excited to give em a try

Not sure I see anything there that we have not seen before? I'm really interested in what putter they will be releasing at the PGA show here soon.

[wcbjr]

Huh?

 

[Lacey Underall]

Sun Mountain makes the Titleist bags I believe. So would be surprised if it wasn't SM.

[jeffreyjenkins]

Does chad campbell have the most old school 3 wood on tour or what? that thing is $$

[tekin112000]

 

There are some of the weirdest pants I have ever seen.

 

I know I am probably old and out of touch but please someone in their twenties tell me if this look is popular.

 

Oh and belt loops but no belt, what happened.

 

Ok, a grown man posting about another mans pants, that's enough, I'm done

[CStephenson17]

Sooo anything on Reed yet?

[RH82]

Huh?

 

Would love to know the info behind these. Even Jon Curran's wedges were this model.

[Blackanvil58]

Is Jason day playing this week? Or is that an old picture?

[PingGolferBrad]

What is the G700/Iblade looking club in Austin Cook's bag?

[pcs11]
