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 Most ‘kids’ clubs are heavy, too big, and outdated.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.”

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.
