Today from the Forums: “Is Justin Rose leaving Honma?”

Published

on

Today from the Forums brings us an interesting conversation about Justin Rose leaving Honma Golf after just over 14 months into the formal agreement being signed: GolfWRX Forums: Justin Rose leaving Honma?

There was some speculation around the golf industry starting last week at the Honda Classic where Rose was spotted with a TaylorMade SIM driver in the bag and shot 72-74 to miss the cut at 6 over.

WRXers are quick to dismiss a full-blown departure as mere speculation, but all are keen to see what’s in Rose’s bag this week.

  • OP MooJersey writes: “I’m surprised there is not already a thread on this. Believe this was confirmed that Justin Rose is no longer going to play the Honma clubs.”
  • BdMac79 says: “Haven’t heard anything like that. He apparently has a clause in his contract that allows him some flexibility to use other brands as he pleases (i.e. the TW fairways and Vokey here and there, as well as the recent use of the SIM driver). Unless there has been something else…”
  • Bomber_11 writes: “He’s never been 14 clubs Honma. He’s experimented with drivers, fairways, wedges – and the Axis putter of course…This seems like speculation for the time being.”

We don’t have any other information confirmed at this time but are currently reaching out to both parties involved. We’ll file a full report when we know more and once we see what the Englishman puts in play this week at Bay Hill.

GolfWRX’s Father’s Day Gift Guide (2026)

Published

on

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.

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.
