PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — This week marks the last event on the PGA Tour’s 2023 West Coast Swing, a series of events that rolled from PGA West to Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach, TPC Scottsdale and now Riviera Country Club outside Los Angeles.
The courses on the West Coast Swing test every player’s skill, along with every club in his bag. This week, Golfweek’s resident equipment expert, senior writer David Dusek, is on-site at Riviera. He has already spent time in the practice areas and in the PGA Tour vans, talking with equipment builders, players and caddies. He filmed the video with Titleist Vokey Design wedge builder Aaron Dill and took the photos of the gear you will see below.
