Photo Tour: Inside PXG’s new retail store in Chicago

Published

on

Parsons Xtreme Golf, which started in Scottsdale, Arizona, has opened a new retail and fitting store in Northbrook, Illinois, about 25 miles outside of downtown Chicago.

Founder Bob Parsons, his wife Renee, PGA Tour staffers Zach Johnson, Billy Horschel, Charl Schwartzel, LPGA’s Gerina Piller, baseball legend Ozzie Guillen, current Chicago Bears NFL cornerback Kyle Fuller, and a number of other PXG Troops were on hand for the grand opening of the store on Thursday night.

Inside the store is PXG men’s and women’s golf apparel and accessories — including staff bags (around $675), golf shirts, t-shirts, ball markers, divot repair tools, towels, pullovers (around $275), hats ($35 and up), gloves and more, all made “in house” by PXG in Scottsdale — as well as walls stocked with putters, shafts and club heads. There’s a putting green, two fitting bays equipped with TrackMan, and a separate room with a build shop. While fitting appointments are available, they also accept walk-ins, according to the company.

GolfWRX was on site for the grand opening with a camera in-hand to give you the full tour. Here’s a few photos from the store below, but check out the forum thread for all of the photos and GolfWRX member discussion.

    PXG is without question the best equipment in all of golf. Anybody in the business will tell you the same thing, usually “off the record” due to staff agreements with other companies. Anybody that disses PXG from a technology standpoint is simply uneducated about golf equipment as a whole. You can form your own opinion about the cost of the clubs. It is what it is but the product is that good.

      Thanks, Bob. Please tell us more about how none of your staff have won a major using these clubs.

      Why isn’t Tony Romo using them? Why isn’t every wealthy player at the Mid-Am and Senior Am using them then. They must be uneducated right?

        I saw a set of Homna irons in Hong Kong 15 years ago that were $54,000 then. Crazy expensive.

      Virtually all equipment meets the USGA requirements, and most equipment, in each category, will perform very close to each other. It really gets down to which club gives you the better personal feel, a positive appearance, and the results you want to achieve.

    “… store in Northbrook, Illinois, about 25 miles outside of downtown Chicago.”
    Why not a PXG store in Southside Chicago to introduce golf to the ghettos and help stop the shooting? Play golf not drugs!!!

    A room full of suicides if they didn’t have a cent. Must suck to be so vulnerable.

    So basically anyone who cannot afford PXG or products similar are going to be whining on this post.

      It isn’t about money. Most people I know with money have make smart business decisions. Paying triple $ for equipment that isn’t of any improvement over a set of quality Mizuno’s isn’t how those people got to where they are. In fact, the only person I know with PXG golf equipment is a terrible golfer and broke his budget to acquire them.

    Do they charge for entry? I’m serious. May as well, only a fool would pay full retail for these.

      Rich ego-driven psychopathic winners will buy this overpriced silliness… because you are what you own.

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley

Published

on

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.

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
  • Irons: TaylorMade P7TW 7-9 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
  • Wedges
  • Putter: Scottsdale TR Piper C

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.

Niemann’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping 440 LST
  • Metal: Ping G440 Max at 15 degrees
  • Metal: Ping G425 Max at 21 degrees
  • Hybrid: Ping G430 at 25 degrees
