PAIRED FOR THE COURSE WHAT’S NEW IN GOLF APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES

Puma Golf x Gumtree Golf & Nature Club Field Notes Golf isn’t just about hitting a ball from Point A to Point B in the lowest amount of attempts. It’s fresh air. It’s finely cut grass. It’s birds chirping. It’s sunshine. It’s rain. It’s Mother Nature in all her glory. That’s how Gumtree Golf & Nature Club positions the game, and when you familiarize yourself with the brand, you quickly shift your view of it too. GGNC’s handcrafted, sustainable and one-of-a-kind releases upcycled from found and heirloom textiles also speak to the brand’s ethos. After a successful collection with Malbon at The Masters, Gumtree returned with Field Notes, a collaboration with Puma Golf two years in the making which includes a quarter-zip, polo, T-shirt, hat, shoes and more. The collection ($40-130) challenges modern golf’s focus on score and speed by embracing the idea that not everything in golf needs to move faster. TRUE Linkswear Antigravity Golf Shoes Feel like you’re walking on air with the Antigravity golf shoe from TRUE Linkswear. Powered by Pebax superfoam, a technology widely used in elite distance running footwear, Antigravity ($199) is TRUE’s flagship line for 2026—designed to reduce fatigue and deliver responsive energy return with every step. Originally developed for aerospace then adopted by premier performance running brands, Pebax foam has become known for its unmatched rebound and lightweight properties. Compared to traditional ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) midsoles, Pebax can deliver up to 50% more energy return while reducing weight by up to 30%. That’s great news for golfers who feel fatigued toward the end of their round.

McLaren Golf Lights out and away we go. Like Cadillac on the 2026 F1 grid, luxury auto manufacturer McLaren has entered

the race, albeit in golf. “Uniting the shared high-performance philosophy of McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive,”

McLaren Golf isn’t a collaboration with an existing golf equipment manufacturer, it’s a standalone OEM. McLaren unveiled its Series 1 Tour blades and Series 3 player distance irons on April 29, available at $395 per club (3-PW). Backed by 8AM Golf and with Justin Rose and Michelle Wie West as ambassadors and investors, McLaren Golf is off to the races. The brand also offers plenty of orange-and-black gear and apparel from $495 Vessel bags and $100 Melin hats to $40 G/Fore gloves. Photo by McLaren Golf Vessel Player Air Carbon Stand Bag Walking just got easier—and lighter— thanks to the Vessel Player Air Carbon Stand Bag ($419) as advanced,

lightweight materials meet durability and functionality. Anchored by a carbon fiber spine developed in partnership with Carbitex and crafted from Cordura, a high-performance, lightweight material, the

Players Air Carbon weighs just 5.2 pounds for the 6-way model and 5.7 points for the 14-way. Designed for the walking golfer, the bag features Vessel’s self-adjusting EQ2 Double Strap system and elevated strap attachment points to promote balanced weight distribution and a secure, controlled carry. Available in black, gray, navy and olive, the bag is 20% lighter than Vessel’s Player V Stand.
