About the Bridgestone TOUR B XS

It’s strange to think that we’ve been at this Ball Lab thing long enough to measure three generations of Bridgestone TOUR B Series.

With that should come some familiarity. Not much has changed in that the TOUR B XS remains “the Tiger Ball“. It’s not the softest in the TOUR B lineup but it is the softer of the two balls that Bridgestone bills as being for high swing-speed players.

It remains a three-piece offering with 330 dimples. The major point of differentiation between the new ball and the prior generation is the addition of the REACTIV IQ cover. As with other Bridgestone offerings, the bulk of product sold in the U.S. is manufactured at the company’s factory in Covington, Ga.

Our betting experts offer their best tips for the loaded field at the 2022 PGA Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Players involved in the LIV Golf Series will be allowed to compete at the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews next month, the R&A announced on Wednesday.

Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from this week's Travelers Championship, the PGA Tour announced Tuesday night. Sources confirmed earlier Tuesday that he is joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series.

The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is doubling the size of its purse to $9 million. That is a 300% increase from 2014, the year before KPMG, the PGA of America and LPGA partnered to raise prize money for the event.

Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka is the latest golfer to defect from the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf Invitational Series, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

After 15 years, Nick Faldo will make his final appearance as the lead golf analyst for CBS Sports on Aug. 7. Trevor Immelman will take his place next year.

An overhauled PGA Tour schedule starting in 2023 is in the works, with increased purses and a new global golf series, sources told ESPN's Mark Schlabach. PGA Tour members were informed of the plans Tuesday.

Brooks Koepka joined Phil Mickelson and more to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. Who else is coming? Can players who go to LIV Golf still compete in major championships? We sift through the answers we have and the ones we don't.

Callaway has announced the JAWS Raw wedge, the replacement for the MD5.It features a raw face design for improved spin.Available in 17 loft and bounce combinations.Retail price is $179.99.

If you’ve been waiting for Callaway to launch the MD6 wedge, here you go, kinda. The Callaway JAWS Raw is the company’s new flagship … mainstream … whatever you want to call it … family of wedges. The JAWS Raw is the replacement for the MD5 because, apparently, Mack Daddy has run its course.

It’s true that correlation is not causation but it’s worth pointing out that the Mack Daddy name traces back to Phil Mickelson with whom the company has parted ways. The two may or may not be related but, either way, for Callaway, JAWS Raw gives them a clean slate, a new beginning—that sort of thing.

With that out of the way, let’s get into the details

Will Zalatoris, Russell Henley and Patrick Rodgers have withdrawn from this week's Travelers Championship.

Fresh on the heels of the U.S. Open, the upcoming Titleist TSR2, TSR3 and TSR4 have landed on the PGA TOUR (along with TSR Fairway woods) this week at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.

Officially, it’s the start of Titleist’s annual Tour seeding and validation process. Unofficially, given the state of the supply chain, we can assume we’re dealing with final product here. The validation piece is essentially a formality. What you see is what you’re going to get.

Hope you like it.

At this stage in the game, Titleist keeps its cards close to the vest so it hasn’t shared any of the materials, performance, innovation, etc., stories. So, for now, all we can do is speculate.

On June 9, Phil Mickelson officially returned to public life. On Sunday, Matt Fitzpatrick won the U.S. Open. Everything that happened in between those two moments is hard to fathom.

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

Today, we highlight the results for our 2022 Most Wanted Super Game-Improvement Irons test!

Super game-improvement irons generally target slower-swinging, higher-handicap and/or beginner golfers. With a focus on forgiveness and increased Moment of Inertia (limiting how much the club-head can twist at impact) these irons help produce higher ball flight and straighter shots.

Let’s take a look at the best super game-improvement irons of 2022.

MOST WANTED SCORING

We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.

Matt Fitzpatrick sat in a fairway bunker, a major title hanging in the balance. All he did was hit a perfect shot, one that will now reside amongst the greats in U.S. Open history.

A shot for the ages by Fitzpatrick (Robert Beck/USGA)

The Englishman's 18th hole bunker shot will go down as the shot of the week and the key to holding off Zalatoris and Scheffler. Plus, Quotables and the USGA's Whan responds to criticism of NBC.

Will Zalatoris missed a 14-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that would have put him in a playoff with eventual winner Matt Fitzpatrick.
