Forget Prime Day — score the Cobra DarkSpeed hybrid for 43% off right now
Unlike a fairway wood, you can use a hybrid in all kinds of different lies, even relatively thick rough, which is also great for less accurate golfers.
Right now, you can save big money on a high-end Cobra DarkSpeed hybrid from PGA TOUR Superstore. The Cobra DarkSpeed hybrid is currently available for $159. It normally sells for $279. For a brand new club that's only a couple of years removed from being the current model, this is an incredible deal.
The Cobra DarkSpeed hybrid is available in two different lofts with this deal. Whether you want a 3 hybrid with 19 degrees of loft or 4 hybrid with 21 degrees of loft, the price doesn't change. The 3 hybrid is available in a stiff flex, and the 4 is offered in regular or stiff flex. Add in the KBS PGI shaft, and you have a club that absolutely should sell for more than $159.
I've been a longtime believer in the versatility of hybrids. They work from a wide range of lies and can be used off the tee for those medium to long par 3 holes. While about 30% of PGA Tour players use a hybrid, they rarely need the extra launch offered by a hybrid and instead prefer the additional control and lower flight of a long iron.
For the rest of us, though, the Cobra DarkSpeed hybrid is the perfect club to replace those hard-to-hit long irons.
I've started carrying a 3, 4 and 5 hybrid in the bag (sadly, the DarkSpeed wasn't this ridiculous price when I bought mine, otherwise I'd be using this club) and it's helped me with a variety of long shots when I don't hit a good drive (which happens more than I'd like). I still carry a 3 wood for those really long second shots on par 5 holes, but I dropped the 5 iron, 5 wood and 7 wood to make room for a selection of hybrids.
If you haven't given one a chance, this deal is the perfect opportunity to get a hybrid in the bag to see if it helps you launch the ball higher and get it closer to more greens. Everyone knows the key to lowering your golf scores is hitting greens in regulation, and a quality hybrid is a good step towards making those GIRs happen.

Adam Scott: 'Not much happening' between PGA Tour and PIF
Negotiations between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund remain stagnant, Adam Scott confirmed to reporters Wednesday ahead of the Wyndham Championship. Scott, a member of the Tour's policy board as a player director, joined PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Tiger Woods at a White House meeting with President Donald Trump and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan on Feb. 20. That was Scott's second trip to the White House this year to discuss a potential agreement. The latter meeting, according to multiple reports, did not go as planned, though Monahan said ahead of The Players that it marked a 'huge step.' ESPN then reported in early April that the Tour had rejected a recent PIF offer to invest $1.5 billion into the Tour's for-profit entity, PGA Tour Enterprises, which this week officially welcomed its new CEO, Brian Rolapp, formerly of the NFL. The PIF's desire to keep LIV Golf intact was reportedly a major hangup for the Tour. And then last month, PGA Tour members were informed in a mandatory meeting, which Rolapp also attended, ahead of the Rocket Classic in Detroit that the Tour and PIF were 'at loggerheads with no resolution in sight,' according to a Golfweek report. 'I don't think it's any breaking news that the talks have gone silent,' Matt Kuchar told Golfweek. 'They said we're still open to negotiations.' Scott was asked Wednesday about next steps in the Tour-PIF talks. 'Obviously there's not much happening between [the two sides],' Scott said. 'I don't know if more White House visits are really necessary. It was really quite an experience, I have to say. Those conversations haven't advanced far from there, and with Brian stepping in, a lot of that's going to fall onto his desk now. I think that he needs some time to kind of really get up to speed and understand what's going on with that.' So far, Scott has been impressed by Rolapp. 'His credentials are obviously excellent on paper, but I have a few things that I really liked about Brian,' Scott said. 'I think like his personality from the little bit that I know of it, like this calmness to him. I know he's really excited to take on this role going forward, but he has a very calm nature about him, you know, to me, which was one of the guys involved, I thought I quite liked that. I think he's coming in at a very interesting time in the professional game and I think that calm demeanor's going to serve him well.' Scott enters this week's Wyndham at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, ranked No. 85 in FedExCup points. He'll need to crack the top 70 by Sunday evening to advance to the playoff opener, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which starts next Thursday. 'This will be my last chance to play on the PGA Tour potentially for some weeks; it's do or die and that's a fun way to play,' Scott said. 'Sometimes we or I have fall in the trap of like there's always next week if it doesn't work out, and that's not the case here.'

Adam Scott confirms what has been widely reported about PGA Tour, LIV Golf unification
Adam Scott confirmed what has widely been reported: there's little movement in efforts to reunify men's professional golf. As a member of the PGA Tour's policy board, Scott has had a front row seat in the negotiations between the Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the financial backer of LIV Golf. Scott participated in the talks earlier this year, which were orchestrated by U.S. President Donald Trump, at the White House. Asked on Wednesday for a status report during a pre-tournament press conference ahead of the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, Scott said, 'there's not much happening between, I don't know if more White House visits are really necessary. It was really quite an experience, I have to say. Those conversations haven't advanced far from there.' Optimism was high that a deal was forthcoming earlier in the year but the last meeting in February in which PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Scott and Tiger Woods met with President Trump and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan did not go as planned. The goal of the meeting was to expedite the federal government's approval of a deal, originally outlined in a Framework Agreement in June 2023, which would see PIF invest $1.5 billion into PGA Tour Enterprises, the Tour's new, for-profit entity. With talks hitting a road block, Scott suggested that new Tour Enterprises CEO Brian Rolapp, who started his job on Monday, will be responsible for leading the process forward as Monahan, who announced he intended to complete his contract through 2026 as commissioner, hands off the baton. 'With Brian stepping in, a lot of that's going to fall onto his desk now. I think that he needs some time to kind of really get up to speed and understand what's going on with that,' Scott said. The Aussie also served on the search committee that eventually selected Rolapp, a highly-respected executive for more than 20 years at the NFL, to steer the Tour through these turbulent times. 'His credentials are obviously excellent on paper, but I have a few things that I really liked about Brian,' Scott said. 'He has a very calm nature about him, you know, to me, which was one of the guys involved, I thought I quite liked that. I think he's coming in at a very interesting time in the professional game and I think that calm demeanor's going to serve him well.' Scott's words confirm the rumors that negotiations have stalled with both sides entrenched in their corners and neither willing to compromise. At No. 85 in the FedEx Cup standings, Scott has more pressing concerns this week – trying to earn his way into the playoffs at the final regular-season event. 'It's do or die,' Scott said. 'That's a fun way to play. Sometimes we or I have fell in the trap of like there's always next week if it doesn't work out and that's not the case here, so I think that's not a pressure but more motivation.'
