11 Revealing photos from The Barclays
GolfWRX was live this week from The Barclays at Plainfield C.C. in Edison, N.J., as the FedExCup Playoffs got underway. If you missed any of the galleries from this week, make sure to catch up on them below:
Playoffs. Don’t talk about playoffs. Playoffs?!
Sorry, but we are indeed talking about the FedExCup Playoffs, where the winner gets $10 million. So while the PGA Tour guys are grinding over 3-footers for millions and millions of dollars, I’ll be here revealing some photos.
Welcome to the playoff version of Revealing Photos.
“Chuckie 3 Sticks” needs a nickname tweak
He seems to have a new gamer putter every week, and he’s usually tinkering with at least two other putters.
This week he’s testing a few PXG putters, and last time he teed it up at the PGA Championship he was gaming a Scotty Cameron prototype. As gear heads we should all have sympathy for him; he’s truly one of us.
And for his tinkering habit with putters, we shall call him Chuckie 3 FlatSticks.
I wonder what Patrick Reed is listening to?
Maybe it’s that song from the most insufferable commercial in golf…
Also, Reed is testing a new Odyssey Big T putter, which looks to be a Reed-only version. Off-the-shelf Big T putters have the company’s Fusion RX insert, but his has a White Hot Pro insert.
When you’re a top-5 player in the world, you get any insert you want.
There’s a reason Snedeker is one of the best putters on Tour
It looks like he burned a hole through the sweet spot of his White Hot putter insert. It’s easier to be consistent when you never miss the center of the club face.
Weekly sneaker heat
Who would have thought you’d be making your next sneaker purchase based on a photo of Jason Dufner? He’s wearing the LeBron 12 low white “USA” shoes on the putting green, which you should consider adding to your collection.
Why is Dufner wearing LeBron’s? Maybe because LeBron James plays basketball for the Cleveland Cavs, and Jason Dufner was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
Just a thought.
Will McGirt’s all white Nippon N.S. Pro Prototype shafts
I wonder if you’re allowed to swing white shafts after Labor Day, or if that’s still considered a fashion faux pas.
Spieth really is the Golden Boy
Even the cops love him.
And if anyone was looking for the rat on the PGA Tour, we may have found him. He’s clearly working as an informant.
Plus Spieth’s hands, they never shake… ever.
Isn’t it ironic?
Canadian Graham Delaet’s name displayed right below a Dunkin’ Donuts “America Runs on Dunkin” ad? Do they even dunk their donuts north of the border?
SeeMore’s three putter sizes…
SeeWayMore, SeeMore, SeeLess.
But seriously, they’re (from left-to-right) the SeeMore Giant FGP, SeeMore FGP and the SeeMore Mini Giant.
You can see inside Cobra’s new King LTD driver
And, in case you were wondering, three golf balls fit inside the SpacePort.
The color scheme looks dangerously similar to Rickie Fowler’s Porsche. Coincidence?

A photo of a sign that says no cameras…
Well played, Greg (our Tour photographer).
Help me caption this photo
I am whatever GolfWRX needs me to be. And for now, that means leaving this amazing image for the people of GolfWRX to caption.
In the comments, give us your best Batman quote, and see if you can tie it into golf, Titleist or Scotty Cameron.
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

Nice job, AT. I thought you’d like the photo of the no cameras sign. Thought the Dunkin sign might warrant a Tim Hortons mention. Keep up the great work each week
