Titleist revives 680 MB irons with a limited custom release
Titleist has brought back its forged 680 MB irons for a limited time, clubs that Adam Scott, Webb Simpson and other stars loved for years. Gear: Titleist Forged 680 MB irons Price: Starting at $250 per club with steel shafts Specs: Forged 1025 carbon steel with pre-worn leading edge, moderate camber, strong bounce and classic nickel chrome finish. Who It's For: Golfers who want a traditional blade with precise shot shaping and timeless feel. What You Should Know: Titleist has brought back the original 680 MB irons in a special limited run—unchanged from their 2003 design—for players seeking a pure, classic blade with a soft forged feel and traditional lofts. The Deep Dive: If you've ever admired the buttery feel and clean lines of a classic blade, this may be the rare moment you've been waiting for. Titleist has re-released its iconic 680 MB forged irons for a limited time, offering custom-order availability through in 2-PW, 3-PW or 4-PW sets (right-handed only). Originally released in 2003, the 680 MBs were a staple among better players seeking shot-making control and old-school, no-frills confidence at address. Their following with Tour players was extensive in their time, and Adam Scott continued to play them for years. Webb Simpson still carries 680 MBs in the bag as his 5-iron through 9-iron. The loyalty was really driven by the feel and looks. Compared to the current 620 MBs, the 680 MB irons feature a shorter blade length, slightly more offset and a higher toe profile. They also have weaker lofts throughout the set. For instance, the 7-iron's loft is 36 degrees, which is significantly weaker than the 34 degrees designed into the 620 MB. Each head is forged from a single billet of 1025 mild carbon steel and finished in a high-gloss nickel chrome, giving the clubs a premium, timeless look. The soles have a pre-worn leading edge, strong bounce angle and moderate camber, helping skilled players manage turf interaction on tight lies or firm conditions. This isn't a redesign—it's a revival. The specs, shaping and feel are all exactly what made the 680 MBs cult favorites to begin with. And while modern muscle backs might add slight forgiveness or tweak the center of gravity positioning, these irons remain unapologetically pure.

Drone flyovers and playing tips from Webb Simpson for all 18 holes at Quail Hollow Club
Drone flyovers and playing tips from Webb Simpson for all 18 holes at Quail Hollow Club There are few golfers who know Quail Hollow Club better than Webb Simpson. The 39-year-old Tour veteran is a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, including the 2012 U.S. Open at Olympic Fields and 2018 Players Championship. He's also been a member at Quail Hollow since 2011 and lives along one of the holes. He's played pretty well when the Tour makes its annual stop there through the years, including a runner-up finish in 2016. But Simpson, who finished 33rd at the PGA in 2017, didn't qualify for this year's championship, so he racked his brain for his best tip on all 18 holes. The green for the par-4 No. 18 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, as photographed in the run-up to the 2025 PGA Championship. Hole-by-hole descriptions of Quail Hollow, site of the 2025 PGA Championship Quail Hollow will play as a par 71 and measure 7,616 yards in 2025. Listed below for each hole is par, yardage and drone flyover videos from Golfweek's Jason Lusk as well as a quick tip from Simpson. No. 1, par 4, 505 yards "You can cut off way more of the corner than you think especially for bombers." No. 2, par 4, 452 yards "One of the faster greens at Quail so stay below the hole at all cost." No. 3, par 4, 483 yards "You can play from the left rough, but the right bunker is tough because tee shots tend to get right up in the lip which causes the player to have to pitch out a lot of times." No. 4, par 3, 184 Yards "You have to have good height on your iron shot here because it's very tough to hold the green." No. 5, par 4, 449 yards "One of the fastest putts at Quail is from above the hole to the front right or front left pins." No. 6, par 3, 249 yards "You are better off 20 yards short of the green here than 2 yards over. Below the hole is king." No. 7, par 5, 546 yards "Be aggressive on your second shot in terms of distance because the back left bunker and over the green in the rough are not bad spots to play from." No. 8, par 4, 346 yards "Driver, driver, driver, off the tee every time!" No. 9, par 4, 530 yards "Good luck! From that new tee box, left is jail. The scoring average from left of the fairway will probably be 4.8 or higher." No. 10, par 5, 592 yards "When going for the green in two, anything left is always better than right." No. 11, par 4, 462 yards "Off the tee your eyes will be looking too far right usually. Very easy to run through the fairway on the right side, which is very difficult to hit the green from there." No. 12, par 4, 456 yards "Tough green, easy to try to force an approach on the top level but putting from middle and under the ridge is a great spot." No. 13, par 3, 205 yards "One of the quickest greens at Quail Hollow. If possible stay below the hole all week, especially when the hole is positioned in the front. Maybe toughest pin at Quail Hollow is front right on 13." No. 14, par 4, 344 yards "Driver driver driver! DO NOT lay up. I've seen guys lay up, but if you have the opportunity to hit the green you should always go for it." No. 15, par 5, 577 yards "The pitch from anywhere short is a great spot to be, but because it's so uphill and into the grain, it can be hard to get the pitch to the hole." No. 16, par 4, 529 yards "Welcome to the Green Mile! Hang on for the next 45 minutes. If you miss this green, it's easy to play from the right greenside bunker to all pins." No. 17, par 3, 223 yards "Hit A LOT of chips from right of the green because that's where most guys will be looking if they miss the green." No. 18, par 4, 494 yards "Driver always. If you hit driver and pull it, you can cover the cut-in from the creek. Widens the fairway some."
