Tiger Woods spotted “testing” Bryson DeChambeau’s single-length irons (and a new driver shaft)

None other than Tiger Woods was seen “testing” one of Bryson DeChambeau’s Cobra King One-Length Irons on the range Tuesday ahead of the Genesis Open at Riviera.

So, it’s pretty much settled, then, TW is a single-length man now. You heard it here first. Stop the golf equipment news presses.

Yeah, right. Woods is a stickler for his specs, famously playing the same iron lofts since turning pro, so we don’t see him shaking that up with single-length irons in this lifetime.

Here are the photos, though, you can see Woods is smiling as he demos the iron, and the Golf Scientist seems to be having fun as well.

Much like taking a closer look at one of Jason Day’s woods at the Farmers Insurance Open, Woods, equipment enthusiast that he is, seems to like peeking in his fellow pros’ bags.

Of more interest, after a lackluster driving performance at Torrey Pines, Woods looks to be testing a Matrix Ozik TP6HDe shaft. He gamed a Matrix Ozik TP7HDe in 2015. The stock extra-stiff TP6HDe is 10 grams lighter than its TP7HDe (68 vs. 78 grams) counterpart and has a higher launch profile.

While we only spotted him with the TP6, Golfweek is reporting Woods has gone back to the TP7HDe, quoting the golfer as saying

“It’s a shaft that I knew from years past, so when I picked it up again … I know how it feels and now how it performs. I drove it great at Wyndham that year, and so that’s about it.”

Either way, Woods is ditching the Mitsubishi Tensei White CK Pro White 70 TX shaft he played in his TaylorMade M3 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

The “testing” in quotations means it wasn’t a real test. You people need to learn sarcasm.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

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.
