GolfWRX was live this week from the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you missed any of the photo galleries, make sure you browse them below:

Tuesday’s photos
Wednesday’s photos

Before we start, let’s have a quick moment of silence for the Charlotteans who had to endure a highly disappointing Super Bowl loss earlier this year by their Carolina Panthers.

Ok, shall we move on now?

Good. Now let’s reveal some photos in this week’s Revealing Photos: Try-Not-to-Mention-Peyton-Manning Edition.

Who’s practice station is this?

Whoever’s tugging every putt left this week is probably the culprit. Someone should tell him his putting alignment aids are misaligned. But it may already be too late.

Stevie is a veteran

Only an experienced caddie knows how to fold a pin sheet that precisely. A real pro’s pro.

A peek into Bryson’s bag

Speaking of pros, Bryson DeChambeau recently relinquished his amateur status and signed with Cobra/Puma. Since then, everyone’s been looking at his equipment more closely than the Wells Fargo volunteers above.

Can you blame them? Bryson has the most interesting WITB we’ve seen in years on Tour, and GolfWRXers can’t help but take notice.

As of this week, he’s still gaming Edel’s Frankenstein irons. It looks as though he’s stepping up the intelligence of his wedge stampings, though, which are now going completely over my head. It’s definitely an algorithm to stick it on every shot.

Ernie Els changes irons

Els is now playing Adams XTD irons as of this week. He did not, however, put a new putter cover in the bag. It may be time to, though.

#MayThe4thBeWithYou

James Hahn won May 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day, with the “Hahn Solo” wedge stamping, referencing Han Solo from the Star Wars movie series.

He also has a custom Scotty that’s out of this world. Alien sighting!

The worst job in golf

I’ve never been less envious of a person in my life than of Patrick Reed’s caddie. Hopefully the wind isn’t blowing right-to-left.

Always remember to love thy caddie, and here’s to hoping Patrick Reed didn’t vote “less than 10 percent.”

Checking out the new Flat Cat putter grips

**Who knew that Hugh Jackman*…**

Was such a huge supporter of GolfWRX?

*Not the real Hugh Jackman, but I suppose his name could actually be Hugh Jackman by some tremendous coincidence. Then he would be A Hugh Jackman, but still not THE Hugh Jackman.

A balanced conversation

What do you think Mr. Counterbalance and Mr. Face Balance are talking about? I bet there’s not a lot words being twisted, whatever it is.

These guys are good

At golf, and at marking their golf balls, too. Check out Jason Gore’s golf ball marking. He drew a “J.G.” logo, made to look like a music note. I don’t want to sing his praises too much, but that’s pretty cool.

Great causes

To honor and support the victims and families of Japan’s most recent earthquakes, Hideki Matsuyama and other players were spotted wearing these pins.

Also, Rickie Fowler and others participated in the Caddy for a Cure program that raises money and awareness for Fanconi anemia victims.

And while most PGA Tour players sign autographs on hats for kids, Jim Furyk was sporting a hat signed by kids in the First Tee program this week. An awesome gesture.

Remember, golf is a sport that’s meant to be fun, but charity can help change and save lives.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

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.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
