About Haywood Golf

Founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2018, Haywood Golf is a relatively new addition to the direct-to-consumer market. However, they have made a concerted effort to differentiate themselves by offering multiple fitting locations worldwide. All of their clubs are assembled in Canada.

With a move to a new and bigger location in the Vancouver area, Haywood looks to expand on its existing lineup, which already includes a multi-material driver and fairway wood, along with a newly released hybrid. They also have four different iron models, a driving iron, wedges and two different putter models (one mallet and one blade).

Impressively, all Haywood golf clubs are also available in right- and left-handed options. Makes sense since Canada has the most lefty golfers in the world per capita!

With so many DTC brands available, Haywood separates itself by offering more fitting location options and special runs of copper and black nitride finish clubs, along with extremely competitive prices and a ton of options to fit your game.

What is being tested?

For this testing opportunity, we will have four fortunate golfers test, review and keep a full set of the Haywood cavity-back/muscle-back combo irons. With four split set options and full CB or MB, Haywood is introducing their first forged iron using 1020 carbon steel, which is “100% milled, allowing for the tightest weight and club measurement tolerances in the industry.”

The new TP Black Collection putter line includes four blades and three mallets.All putters feature milled 303 stainless steel construction.Putters feature the Pure Roll Surlyn insert.MSRP $199.99

Just when you thought the 2024 putter release season was over, TaylorMade announces their new TP Black line of putters. At least it is only seven new putters this time.

Shops are going to expand the putter corrals.

With so many new putters out there this year, what sets TaylorMade’s TP Black Collection putter line apart from their competitors? Many of the build specifications sound familiar:

I told you. It’s all the usual things that we find in a milled putter offering. Wait, did that say $199.99? TaylorMade is launching a milled putter line for only two hundred bucks?

TaylorMade, you now have my attention, and my curiosity.

Jordan doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. After bringing out a host of new AJ1 Low colorways, Jordan Brand is back with a new (old) silhouette for the course, the Air Jordan 9.

As the name suggests, this was the ninth shoe in the Air Jordan lineup. It was actually the first shoe to be produced after MJ retired to play baseball. The black, white and fire red colorway you see here is one of the original color schemes.

This isn’t the first time the Jordan 9 has made it’s way to the course. The man himself, Jacques Slade wrote about the Jordan 9 golf shoe back in 2016.

The 2024 model is more similar to the design of the OG Jordan 9, whereas the 2016 release shared design traits with Tiger Wood’s signature shoe at the time.

Regardless of the fact that MJ never actually wore the Jordan 9 when it first released (he wore it later on), this shoe has a big following and is bound to sell out quickly.

This sentence would have been unfathomable a few years ago: YouTube golfers are competing for the right to play in a PGA Tour event. 

The Myrtle Beach Classic, taking place May 9-12 in South Carolina, is holding a 16-man qualifier featuring notable YouTube content creators. The low finisher will get a spot in the tournament, which is an opposite-field event being held the same week as the Wells Fargo Championship (the Wells Fargo is a signature event, so all the best players will be in Charlotte). 

The 18-hole qualifier, hosted by Golf Tourism Solutions and Visit Myrtle Beach, will be on March 4 at TPC Myrtle Beach with a 90-minute video of the shootout being released April 23. Some of the participants will be releasing their own individual content from the event, as you would expect. 

No spectators or media will be allowed at the event—the results will be kept under wraps until the video comes out in April.

Is this a brilliant marketing strategy by a first-year PGA Tour event with nothing to lose? Or is this a gimmicky ploy to gain attention while taking a potential spot away from a better player?

Justin Thomas has been interested in golf architecture since he was a little kid mapping out golf holes on napkins.

But he wisely prioritized his playing career over one in course design, which has worked out pretty well so far for two-time major winner and 2017 FedEx Cup champion who boasts more than $55.1 million in career earnings.

It wasn’t until Dominik Senn wanted to reimagine and reinvigorate the Florida golf experience that Thomas was able to live out his childhood dream.

Senn, a former Swiss professional alpine skier, is the founder of 4SENN, 4sports & Entertainment AG and Centaur Golf International AG. He reached out to Jack Nicklaus, who then contacted Thomas. After moving almost two million cubic yards of earth to create a links-style layout in Palm Beach Gardens, Panther National was born.

“We created a course unlike any other in South Florida,” Thomas said. “That was our goal. If you play here, the elevation changes stand out more than anything since most courses here are relatively flat. But it’s also how the green complexes, bunkering and water areas create the flow. There was a lot of dirt moved.
