Our forums are packed full of galleries showcasing all of what is happening all week, so make sure to head over to our forums to check out everything we are snapping from this year’s PGA Show.

But first, check out five new exhibitors for 2025 with items that have caught our eye on Day One.

IXI

Self Driving Golf Cart

From IXI:

“The first-ever self-driving golf trolley, iXi, revolutionizes golf with its AI-powered swing analysis, offering real-time insights to elevate your game. Effortlessly navigating the course while carrying your gear, it combines cutting-edge innovation with lightweight, foldable convenience. iXi is the ultimate companion for modern golfers.”

Liteyear Golf

Premium Golf Clubs For Kids

From Liteyear Golf:

“Liteyear Golf was started by a dad that wanted more time with his three boys and do things they loved, golf. Most ‘kids’ clubs are heavy, too big, and outdated. We set out on a journey to make it better.”

“Liteyear Golf clubs are unlike anything else on the market. We created the lightest clubs on the planet, using advanced aerospace-grade alloy to make golf easier, more fun, and frustration-free for little players.”

Swag Golf

Headcovers and, well, swag.

From Swag Golf:

“In 2025, we are continuing to bring our philosophy to the top properties around the world.

“It’s important to note that you may not like the price, MOQ’s, or our offerings, but we Don’t Give a Putt.”

XView Golf

AI Enabled Golf Swing Analysis Platform

From XView:

“A product of IdeasLab, combines multiple AI models to offer the most robust analysis of the golf swing, analyzing both the biomechanics of the golfer as well as the club head and shaft for a 360 degree assessment.

“Using only the iPhone, XView visualizes body, club and head shaft, swing velocity and path, multi-joint/body tracking, multi-player comparison and multiple AI coach tools for an easy-to-understand and actionable assessment of each and every golf swing.”

SlopeVision

New Green Slope Reading Technology

From SlopeVision:

“SlopeVision is a technology (patent pending) that turns a putter into a slope-reading tool. It shows specific points on a putter head that, when combined with a plumb-bob technique, allows the player to make an accurate estimation of the % slope.

“SlopeVision provides a product with instructions to modify an existing putter (must be done in conformance with Equipment Rules). The technology can also be designed into new putters.”

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.”
