Welcome to this week’s Tour Report from the 2022 Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort & Spa in Napa, California, where HUGE equipment news was going down.
If you’ve been following along to my weekly Tour Reports here on GolfWRX.com, then you know I’ve been reporting on the new and custom gear we see each week out on Tour.
This week, I’m trying something a little different by putting all of the gear news into a video version of the Tour Report. Watch the video at the top of the story to check it out. You’re still getting a look at all of our photos, and I’m still providing information about the equipment discussed…it’s just in a video format.
I’m all about what’s best for GolfWRX fans, though, so I’m looking for feedback on the first Tour Report video. What are your thoughts? Do you like the new format? My goal is to provide the best user experience possible when highlighting the coolest and newest gear that we see on the PGA Tour each week. I hope you enjoy the first Tour Report video from Napa, and if you don’t, let us know why in the comments!
Don’t forget to check out all of our photo galleries from the 2022 Fortinet Championship below. If you want a more extended discussion from the week, listen in to our new Two Guys Talking Golf podcast.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
