GolfWRX adds YouTube Star Mark Crossfield to Featured Writer Program
GolfWRX, the largest online golf community in the world, has added golf YouTube Star and PGA Professional Mark Crossfield to its Featured Writer Program.
With GolfWRX, Crossfield will launch the latest installment of his Golf Swing Weekly Fix Series. The series will be published on GolfWRX’s Front Page, as well as on Crossfield’s popular YouTube Channel, which features golf tips and equipment reviews. Crossfield also maintains a second YouTube Channel, AskGolfGuru, which answers fan questions with short, easy-to-understand video responses. Together, the two channels total more than 220,000 subscribers.
As part of the agreement, Crossfield will also collaborate with GolfWRX’s Editorial Team to create videos that are tailored to GolfWRX readers.
“As a golfer first and foremost, I found myself constantly watching Mark’s videos over the years,” said Richard Audi, President and Founder of GolfWRX. “His unbiased reviews and data-driven analysis is borderline addictive, so it’s no surprise why he’s as popular as he is. Mark’s professionalism and modern approach to educating readers makes him an excellent addition to our team.”
Crossfield, 40, has been coaching golfers for 20 years. He is considered an innovator in the digital golf space, specifically on YouTube, and started making the videos for which he’s known seven years ago.
“The Featured Writer Program is well on its way to offering our readers access to the unique perspectives and insights of the smartest people in the business,” said GolfWRX Editor-In-Chief Zak Kozuchowski. “Mark gets us closer to that goal. Working together, we can make a bigger splash and benefit more golfers than we could separately.”
GolfWRX currently attracts more than 2 million peak unique views per month, and more than 18 million page views per month, making it one of the most visited golf websites in the world. The Featured Writer Program boasts more than 100 contributors from around the world, and includes writers with specialized knowledge in all facets of the game of golf.

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley
Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.
Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.
PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole
Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.
Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.
Henley’s Suitcase

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!
Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.
Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.
Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!
Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.
Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.
Kaneko’s Suitcase
- Driver: Ping Max G440
- Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees
- Irons: TaylorMade P760 5 and 6 irons

- Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design at 46, 52, 56, and 60 degrees
- Putter: Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Arm Lock #7
Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro
Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.
The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.
Alvaro’s Suitcase
- Driver: Ping G430 MAX driver at 9 degrees loft
- Metal: Ping G430 MAX 3W
- Iron: Ping iDi Driving Iron
- Irons: Ping Blueprint S irons

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin
Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.

Lol, who needs these type of instruction when average Wrxers handicap is aound 5.
I would love to see if they can break legit 90.

Mark is very frank and has a great ability to explain and cure. I never heard the comment attributed to him about shaft. Anybody who is unbiased is welcome in today’s ad driven hype. I really like the fact that he doesn’t take himself seriously and always has fun. I think that I’ve watched all of his videos and his solutions often help.

Great additions to WRX with Mark Crossfield and Rick Shiels! Both are terrific reviewers of clubs and technology as well as having insight into the golf swing too. Now all you need to add is Me and My Golf guys too and complete the trifecta.

Awful news. This guy is a grade A joker. “Shaft flex doesn’t matter” is the funniest thing i’ve ever heard. Annoying, arrogant moron.
Once heard a pro refer to him as the “Timmy Mallett of golf”, not far off. Stupid glasses and all!

I also feel like Mark basically doesn’t respect his audience and always seems to get in little “you’re so stupid” quibbles with them when his expertise is challenged. To me, he comes off as a very insecure, argumentative guy under all that “banter” and joking. I predict his head pops off and he implodes in the comments section within the first 90 days 🙂
Apollo Creed
Apr 4, 2016 at 2:18 pm
He is indeed the antithesis of what seems to drive the GolfWrx community. And he’s very antagonistic/reactionary when his ideas and expertise are challenged at all – I don’t think this will work out 🙂

Golf doesn’t need to be so serious sometimes guys. Mark and his advise is for the game improvement segment which is arguably a much larger percentage than the scratch golfer. He has fun and is enjoyable to watch. Lighten up.

I like the way Mark cuts through marketing hype on clubs and shafts to give unbiased reviews that give realistic data to consider. In a way it’s like Mark is a golf friend who helps make my golf game and equipment better.

Someone explain to me what the difference between “peak unique views” and “page views”
“GolfWRX currently attracts more than 2 million peak unique views per month, and more than 18 million page views per month, making it one of the most visited golf websites in the world.”

I believe “peak unique” is for a single topic/article and “page views” is basically everything

Great…….. bring on the one guys who tells everybody that shaft flex has nothing to do with anything and that you are all wasting your time and money looking for the right shaft on WRX. Hilarious.

Hey Mark! One favor? Now that you have access to the other staff, find out who wrote the stupid “Swanson: How to Choose the 14 Clubs in Your Bag” article and hit him square in the bollocks with a Ping Doc 17 Putter.
