Many touring professionals and better amateurs have long carried a Titleist fairway wood. The Titleist PT (Pro Trajectory) 970 was highly regarded as one of the best fairway woods ever made. In fact, until Tiger Woods recently put the Nike T-60 fairway wood in his bag, he “had been using a modified version of the steel-shafted, small-headed Titleist PT 970 3-wood for several years.”
Titleist attempted to follow up on the success of the PT with the 980F. The 980F held true to Titleist’s heralded design theme – pear-shaped woods that inspire silent confidence at address. Unfortunately, the 980F failed when it came to more than looks and many pros kept the PT in their bag. The 980 – a solid club in its own right – simply could not overcome its predecessor.
Now we have Titleist’s next offering, the 904F fairway woods. The 904F builds on the same traditional look while offering updated technology and a more refined function. This has resulted in superb handling and playability.
If you’re not a fan of long reviews, I’ll let you stop reading now: the Titleist 904F is the best fairway wood Titleist has ever made and is perhaps the best available from any manufacturer. If you haven’t tried a 904F, you’re doing your game – and your scorecard – a disservice.


This is a Public Service Announcement to prevent injuries while riding in a golf cart. This really happened on a golf course.
Sean O’Hair may have climbed another rung in the ladder of his post-dictator father days, but he stood silently by as the ultimate honor at a PGA Tour event went today to Ted Purdy, who two times finished second in 2004. Purdy’s closing 5-under 65 netted him a one-stroke victory at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship and his first PGA Tour win.
From the first birdie at the very first hole of her final round, everyone knew it was Annika Sorenstam’s day to win. Sorenstam claimed another four birdies today, but what’s more impressive is that she only made three bogeys the entire week, all during her third round. A final round 5-under par 67, 23-under par for the tournament, separated the Swede from her nearest competitors by an unbelievable ten strokes.
While some of the big names faded and the showdown of the “Big Five” hasn’t materialized, some of the PGA Tour’s lesser known stars are shining this weekend at the
Golfers who use Macintosh computers, rejoice! There’s a way to make your computer even golfier. The new Mac OS is code-named Tiger (which is pretty golfy all by itself, no?), and it has a cool feature called Dashboard. When you activate Dashboard, a serious of little web-enabled programs called Widgets pops up. There are plenty of Widgets you can install, from eBay auction trackers to local weather reports. Your golf fix is taken care of by the new Golf Tips Widget. It provides a new golf tip each day, courtesy of Golf magazine. If you’re using a Mac with Tiger installed (and if you’re not, you really should be), you can download the Golf Tips Widget
It was a crazy day in Irving, TX, to say the least! Tiger Woods missed his first cut in 142 events, dating all the way back to 1998. He holds the record for most cuts in a row, and it will more than likely stand for quite some time, if not forever. “I just didn’t quite have it,” Woods said. He also had this to say when the media asked him what the worst part of the streak ending was. “I don’t get that opportunity to win the tournament.”
I’ve always thought the strength of my golf game is my putting. But a friend of mine who also was a golf instructor for years tells me that my iron play is definitely my strength. Perhaps that is because my first set of clubs were hand-me-down Browning blades from my dad. I love the the feel and look of great irons, which is why I’ve been using Hogan irons for the last couple of years. I didn’t lose a step when I put the
