Golf season is upon us. You can tell because there’s tinkling music and azaleas on the television, as the first major of the year signifies the start of the Canadian golf season. Golf equipment companies love to use the year’s first major to launch versions of products that connect with the tournament—from scripted apparel to new gear directly linked to the tournament, often through aesthetics.
Here are some key items to keep your eyes open for as golf’s first major of the year starts.
Wear What the Pros Are Wearing
The season’s first major is the unofficial kick off to golf season for many Canadians. It’s the perfect time to freshen your wardrobe with new spring styles. Here’s what you can expect to see from some of golf’s shining stars.
Dustin Johnson
DJ is known for his laidback look in solid, neutral colours and this week will be no different. Look for him to wear gray and black versions of adidas’ Ultimate 365 Heathered Stripe polo. Shop DJ’s Look.
Jordan Spieth
You’ll find Spieth in a special edition Spieth 3 shoe, featuring pink accents inspired by Augusta’s azaleas. He’ll also be wearing UA Playoff Polos and a UA-branded 2.0 belt, as well as Vanish Tapered pants. Vanish is a polyester microthread technology that pulls moisture off your skin. Shop Jordan’s Look.
Sergio Garcia
Look for Sergio to stand out on the course in style with hints of neon yellow throughout the week on adidas’ Ultimate365 polo. Shop Sergio’s Look.
Limited Edition Gear Inspired by Golf’s First Major
Major tourney – major gear! Golf’s biggest manufacturers created some commemorative gear to kick off the season opener!
Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich Crossknit 3.0 by adidas Golf
Nothing sounds better than a Georgia Peach ice cream sandwich, and adidas used the tasty treat as the inspiration for its limited-edition Crossknit 3.0 shoe. If you can imagine, the shoe’s outsole and midsole represent the cookie crust, while the upper is the ice cream. Look for this on golftown.com starting April 8 at 12pm EST, while supplies last.
TaylorMade Season Opener Commemorative Staff Bag and Headcovers
Inspired by the iconic caddie jumpsuits of the season’s first major, TaylorMade’s 2019 Season opener staff bag features a clean, all-white body accented with the tournament’s signature green and incorporates distinctive floral patterns on the interior lining. Compliment it with a matching driver headcover and putter headcover (available for Spider and blade putters). This collection from TaylorMade represents the rich tradition of this beloved major championship. Available online and select stores.
Cobra KING F9 Speedback Camo Edition
The KING F9 SPEEDBACK Special Edition Camo driver features a one-of-a-kind camo pattern that was created by layering the outline of the United States and the state of Georgia to pay tribute to the memorable atmosphere alive each April in Augusta. Available online and select stores.
