In an effort to speed up play, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas both said they'd like to see the PGA Tour publicize data for how long it takes a golfer to hit a shot.

Justin Thomas said Tuesday that both PGA Tour and LIV players are "past the level of exhaustion" when it comes to the ongoing reunification talks.

Because it’s The Players Championship week and any occasion is occasion enough for a limited edition offering, COBRA has dropped its of Gator Drip headcover collection.

According to COBRA, “Gator Drip limited edition headcovers combine the signature gold and navy of the 5th major with a striking reminder of the lurking danger at every turn.”

You could probably say the same thing about my tee shots and anyone standing within 250 yards of the tee box (in any direction). There’s no headcover for that, although I might suggest a helmet.

I digress.

COBRA’s Limited Edition Gator Drip headcovers are available for:

Well, why not?

Golf is hip. Golf is in. And Reebok is seeing its biggest competitors making waves, thinking “Why not us?” They are, after all, one of the biggest in the industry NOT to offer a legitimate golf line.

Well, that changes now. And luckily for both you and me, Reebok is leaning heavily on proven commodities to bolster their reentry into the performance golf space.

Reebok is giving us three bangers to kick of the golf season, starting with their ever-popular crossfit silhouette, the Nano.

If that wasn’t enough to pique your interest, can I offer you a golf shoe with perhaps ‘Bok’s most famous innovation, the Pump? Yeah, those of you old enough to be my dad probably get goosebumps thinking about Shaq bringing down a rim in a pair of Reebok Pumps.

Scottie Scheffler? Collin Morikawa? Here's who our staff is betting on to win the 2025 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.

Imagine, if you will, a world in which you’re an R&D engineer for your favorite golf OEM. You’re working on the company’s next set of irons, trying to squeeze out every last drop of performance.

What if I were to walk in, wave my hand and give you five extra grams of discretionary weight to move wherever you want? My guess is you’d probably be grateful.

If I gave you 10 grams, you’d start dancing.

Twenty grams? You’d be doing the Southside Shuffle all night long.

But if I offered you 100 grams – 100 freaking grams of discretionary weight to completely change the mass properties of your new iron set – you’d laugh me out of your office. You’d also alert security to report that some wackadoodle is loose in the building.

Golf’s burning question for more than 18 months has been about reunification.

And a part of that reunification is whether LIV players will be allowed back on the PGA Tour.

If they are, what would that look like? Our Alan Shipnuck speculated that select LIV players could be welcomed back to the Tour in 2025 via sponsor exemptions or another mechanism.

While that answer remains cloudy, we do have one piece of new information:

It is, in fact, possible to play on LIV and then come back to compete in a Tour event.

I’m one of those people who will try anything—well, pretty much anything—at least once. I ate crocodile bites in Thailand—if you’re curious, they tasted like chewy chicken. I participated in a dating segment that aired on a national morning show—if you’re curious, we didn’t end up together but I met the love of my life shortly after it aired.

So when I had the opportunity to attend TGL, the new tech-infused simulator golf league launched by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, my interest was certainly piqued.

How would the live in-venue experience at the SoFi Center on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Florida compare to the at-home viewing experience on ESPN?

The logistics

I was pleasantly surprised how easy and efficient getting to and from SoFi Center was. Granted, I’m used to attending PGA Tour events, concerts or soccer matches with tens of thousands of others so given the facility’s approximate capacity of 1,500, this was a breeze.

Depending if you’re getting dropped off via rideshare, driving yourself or are attending on behalf of a sponsor dictates exactly where you go but all the parking lots and dropoff points are a short walk to the numerous gates flanking the SoFi Center. 

Maxfli was founded in 1910 as a golf ball manufacturer by Robert H. Maxwell. The company, which derives its name from an amalgamation of the founder’s last name and “flight,” eventually expanded its products by introducing golf bags in the 1960s.

Maxfli took things one step further by manufacturing Australian blade golf clubs starting in 1976 up until the 1990s.

After a trio of ownership changes—Dunlop Slazenger (1996), TaylorMade-adidas (2002) and DICK’S Sporting Goods (2008)—Maxfli has triumphantly returned to the golf club space with its new XC2 and XC3 forged irons.

Available exclusively in-store and online via DICK’S and Golf Galaxy starting April 18, these two iron sets cost $999.99 for seven clubs (4-PW).

“We’ve been working hard behind the scenes for a very long time and we just weren’t ready until the product felt like the best possible version of itself,” said Sara Slagel, Maxfli Brand Manager. “Coming off the success of the tour balls the past few generations, our team felt it was time to expand the product line and reintroduce irons.”

We’re 2 1/2 months into this PGA Tour season, past the point where many pros start changing their clubs to update them to the new models. With our driver test results now available, it’s the perfect time to take a first look at the similarities between the longest drivers on the PGA Tour and the drivers that can help amateur players maximize distance.

PGA Tour’s top 10 longest golfers 2025

Aldrich Potgieter may be new to the PGA Tour but he’s not new to generating distance from the tee. Potgieter also led the Korn Ferry Tour in distance in 2024 and just a few months into his PGA Tour career, he has already moved past Rory McIlroy, even if it’s by less than half a yard.

Potgieter recently played the Mexico Open and hit the driver off the tee, followed by the driver off the deck to land his ball on the green on a 661-yard par-5.

Here is a look at the top 10 longest golfers on the PGA Tour as of March 2025 and the drivers they are using.

How do these PGA results compare to our testing?

Now that we know which golf clubs the pros are using to generate all of this distance, it’s worth comparing that to our 2025 Best Golf Driver testing.

Let me ask you some questions.

How many golf apps do you have on your phone or tablet?

Between launch monitors, swing trainers, rangefinders, etc., how many pieces of digital golf hardware do you own?

Last question.

How many of those apps and digital toys communicate with each other?
