Limited-edition FootJoy shoes, TaylorMade NFL golf balls, best new drivers and more
Limited-edition FootJoy shoes, TaylorMade NFL golf balls, best new drivers and more Learn everything you need to know about FootJoy's newest limited-edition shoes, TaylorMade's NFL licensed golf balls and the best new drivers. Last week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans is the only team event on the PGA Tour schedule and features two rounds of four-ball and two rounds of foursomes, which is commonly referred to as alternate shot. In four-ball, each player uses their own ball to complete the hole, but when both golfers are going to be playing the hole using one ball, teams have to decide which ball to play. The defending champions, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, opted to use the same strategy this year that they used last year and have used in previous Ryder Cups. "If Shane is hitting the approach into the green, I'll probably hit his golf ball off the tee, and then vice versa, he'll hit my golf ball off the tee if I'm hitting the approach," McIlroy said last week before the tournament started. They could do this because the Zurich Classic is one of the very few PGA Tour events where Model Local Rule G-4, commonly referred to as the "One Ball Rule," is not utilized. The rule requires players to use the same make and model of golf ball throughout a round, but at the Zurich Classic, players and teams simply need to complete the hole using the same ball they used off the tee. "We did some testing (on Tuesday) morning back home when we delayed our trip," Lowry said. "I went down to therange, and we both practice at the same place, so both our golf balls are there, and we did some testing and they'repretty similar. We could either use either." Where Lowry and McIlroy's balls play most differently is on approach shots and shots around the green, because even among premium, urethane-covered balls, there are subtle differences in performance. With the season underway across the United States, and with several new golf balls now available in your local shops -- including the Bridgestone e12, Callaway Chrome Tour Triple Diamond, Srixon Q-Star UltiSpeed, TaylorMade Tour Response and Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x -- now is the ideal time to test new models for yourself and find out which gives you the best performance around the green, from the fairway and off the tee.

FootJoy release colorful Legends Series Drop 1 footwear
Over the last several years, FootJoy has done several collaborations and special footwear drops to celebrate and honor events like the Players Championship, U.S. Open and British Open. Now the company has announced it plans several 'Legends Series' releases that showcase the Premiere family of shoes for 2025. The first Legends Series footwear is a limited-edition version of the Packard ($245 at select retailers and that features a floral outsole along with hand-selected, premium leather. If it has been a dreary start to spring in your area and watching the season's first major in Georgia didn't bring enough colorful jolts for you, these shoes should do the trick. Like the standard Packard, the Legends Series Drop 1 edition features a VersaTrax+ outsole. It has replaceable spikes, along with ground-grabbing traction elements with varying levels of firmness, so they can help to keep your feet firmly in place regardless of what type of ground you encounter when you swing. The OrthoLite EcoPlush footbed helps to enhance comfort while the leather upper repels water. In fact, the Legends Series Drop 1 comes with a two-year waterproof warranty. According to FootJoy, three more Legends Series shoes are coming, one in May, another in June and the last one on July 5.

Best golf rain gear: Stay dry on the course with our favorite pieces of rain gear
Best golf rain gear: Stay dry on the course with our favorite pieces of rain gear Nobody wants the best round of their life disrupted by a little water. Whether you're dreaming of playing Augusta National while watching the Masters this weekend, or getting out for 9 holes at your local muni, any golfer knows the value of having some rain gear handy. A nice summer day often involves a shower, so be prepared with some of our favorite pieces of rain gear. Thankfully, we don't think the heavy stuff is going to come down for quite a while... Best golf rain shoes The S2g Golf Shoes from adidas were literally made for this. Inspired by classic hightop basketball shoes and with a cleated outsole grip, you can keep your footing when it matters most. If you're looking for something in a lighter color, check out the recently released MG4+ O2 G/LOCK Golf Shoe from G/FORE. Learn more about the shoe with our full review. Best golf rain jacket The Shield Half-Zip Rain Shell from Peter Millar is a fully waterproof golf staple. A separate stow pouch allows it to be packed down tight and easily stashed in a golf bag on the days when Mother Nature can't make up her mind. As long as you don't mind mixing your athletic endeavors, the TIRO Rain Jacket from adidas is another great option with a bit of a retro look. Finally, everybody knows that Under Armour makes great cold-weather gear, but they also specialize in rain gear. Check out their Drive Rain Jacket and find out for yourself. Best golf rain hat While we have yet to see what rain hat Ludvig Aberg and his new Retro Originals Collection will feature, you can't go wrong with a tried and true option from adidas, the Bucket Hat. Plus, the hat is currently 20% off, so act quickly! Best golf rain pants We've got two great options here. The Shield Pull-On Rain Pant from Peter Millar and the Hydrolite X Rain Pants from FootJoy both offer top-of-the-line protection from the elements without inhibiting movement. The Peter Millar pant feature a zipper and velcro closure at the ankle, which allow for them to be pulled on over your shoes when things get really nasty out there. The FootJoy pants are designed for warmer weather and are very lightweight, perfect for a tee time with a chance of summer showers. Best affordable golf rain pants If you're looking for the best bang for your buck, you have to try out Little Donkey Andy. A ridiculous name, absolutely, but we promise it's worth it. Here's what Golfweek's Travel Editor and Creative Director had to say about these pants: I've become the Pied Piper of Little Donkey Andy, telling anyone who asks all about these fleece-lined weather pants. Found on Amazon, the brand offers several styles, most of them under the label of hiking pants, all of them with belt loops. I have two water resistant pairs (they've never soaked through) for simply cold, damp and windy days, when temps drops into the high 30s and low 40s. - Jason Lusk Best rain golf glove FootJoy is the most popular golf glove on the PGA Tour, so it should come as no surprise that we love their rain golf gloves. Sold as a pair, the QuikDry knit material and autosuede knit palm keep your hands as dry as can be.
