Nike clubs continue to see action on Tour

Even after leaving the hardgoods equipment game behind, Nike clubs continue to get a lot of play from recreational players, all the way up to golfers on the PGA Tour. This week at the Vivint Houston Open at Memorial Park, we spotted a number of clubs from Nike in the bags of players. In the used club market, a lot of nostalgia remains for Nike Golf gear, and it appears that continues to extend to players at the highest level.

What is interesting to note is although Nike is headquartered in Beaverton Oregon, Nike Golf was founded and operated from day one in Fort Worth, Texas, only a few hours from Houston up the i45, so there is a Texas connection.

Tony Finau – Nike Vapor Fly long iron

Tony is a player who went to Ping clubs after Nike stopped, but the one club that continues to make its way into his bag on occasion is his old Nike Vapor Fly long iron. It could be that he’s working on something, or the more likely scenario is heading into the Masters next week, this long iron is a club he is extremely comfortable with and has some shots around Augusta in mind.

Kevin Chappell – Nike VR Pro Combo 4-iron

We recently spoke with Kevin Chappell’s personal club-fitter Tim Briand about his bag, and even though he recently switched out most of his clubs since he became a True Spec golf ambassador, the one club that continues to remain in his bag is his old Nike Pro Combo 4-iron.

Maverick McNealy – VR Pro Blades

When it comes to blade irons, the Nike VR Pro blades were the club of choice for many of Nike’s staffers, including Tiger Woods, but the other player that continues to keep them in the bag in Maverick McNealy. It’s hard to argue with their pedigree, let’s just hope he has a few extra backup sets.

Scottie Scheffler – VR Pro Ltd. Edition 3 wood

If we’re being honest, the one weak spot in the Nike line of clubs was often metal woods, but the fixed hosel models including Scottie’s VR Pro limited edition had a lot of pop, and you don’t fix, what’s not broken.

Brooks Koepka – Nike Vapor Fly 3-iron

Hiding behind the Scotty Cameron cover

Just like a perfect pair of jeans, or that hoodie that just feels right when you put it on, Brooks Koepka continues to go back to his Nike Vapor Fly Pro – iron even after taking it out of the bag on multiple occasions.

Whatever the team at Nike did to produce these Vapor Fly long irons, they must have included some type of magic “long iron dust” because to see more than one golfer keep it in play really says something about their performance.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.

It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

From the listing:
