There’s something unmistakable in the air when Masters Week rolls around. Maybe it’s the sight of the iconic azaleas in full bloom, or the low murmur of fans gathered beneath the towering pines at Augusta National. Whatever it is, the week marks more than just a tradition-rich major – it signals the start of the golf season in earnest. And as fans tune in to watch the best players in the world navigate Amen Corner, they’re also getting a glimpse of the latest gear making waves on the course.
Worldwide Golf offers a front-row look at some of the same apparel, shoes, and bags in play this week. Whether you’re getting ready for your next round or looking to bring a bit of Masters-inspired style to your game, here’s a quick look at some of the standout pieces worth checking out.
Apparel That Brings Spring to Life
Spring is all about fresh starts – and fresh looks – and this season’s golf polos bring energy to every round. The TravisMathew Featherweight Magnolia Polo leads the way with an all-over floral print that practically nods to Augusta’s signature blooms. Made from light and breathable Featherweight Active fabric, it includes built-in collar stays to keep your look sharp even after 18 holes.
For a different take on performance and style, the PUMA MATTR Peach Stand Polo blends technical features with sustainability. Made with at least 90% recycled materials, it offers four-way stretch, moisture-wicking comfort, and quick-drying performance – all in a lightweight, breathable design built for changing conditions.
If bold is your thing, the Bad Birdie Azalea Polo delivers. It’s stretchy, moisture-wicking, and even offers UPF 50+ sun protection, making it a solid choice whether you’re walking your local course or watching the pros work their magic in Georgia.
For something more understated, the adidas Originals Pocket Polo offers classic style with a modern feel. Crafted from a blend of better cotton and recycled polyamide, it features a chest pocket and a four-button collar for timeless appeal and on-course comfort.
And to top things off (literally), the adidas Season Opener Bucket Hat brings a functional edge to your fit. Made of soft cotton with an all-around brim, it’s designed to help keep the sun at bay – especially helpful if you’re playing in midday rays or just watching from the sidelines.
Golf Shoes with Performance Built In
The right pair of shoes makes a difference when it comes to stability, comfort, and keeping your feet dry when conditions shift – all key factors on the slick greens and early-morning fairways pros face at Augusta.
The adidas Codechaos 25 Spikeless Golf Shoes are packed with performance tech, including Lightstrike + BOOST midsoles for responsive cushioning and Twist Grip traction for solid footing. A waterproof upper helps keep moisture out when the dew hasn’t burned off yet.
Over at FootJoy, the Originals continue to do what they do best – provide all-day traction and support in a simple, clean design. The synthetic upper is easy to care for, and the EVA cushioning stays consistent round after round.
The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG G, meanwhile, brings streetwear style to the fairway. The spikeless shoe delivers visible Air Max cushioning, water resistance, and an updated traction pattern that works whether you’re walking the course or just heading to the range.
Rounding things out, the New Balance Brighton V2 Golf Shoes offer a blend of traditional feel and modern performance. They feature waterproof microfiber uppers, Fast Twist replaceable cleats, and a responsive DynaSoft midsole. Add in the 2-year waterproof warranty, and you’re looking at reliable comfort that holds up over time.
Golf Bags That Carry More Than Clubs
You don’t have to look hard during the golf season to spot a great stand bag – and the ones from Titleist, Callaway, and Sun Mountain are built to deliver function and form whether you’re walking or riding.
The Titleist Players 4 Stand Bag strikes a balance between lightweight construction and premium materials. With a double strap system, aluminum legs, and useful extras like an external drink sleeve and a horseshoe tee pocket, the bag is all about thoughtful details that simplify your game.
For something even lighter, the Callaway Hyperlite Zero Stand Bag weighs in at just 2.9 pounds. That makes it one of the lightest bags available, but it still packs in features like 9 pockets, a four-way top, and a compact profile that’s easy to handle from car to cart.
If innovation is more your speed, the Sun Mountain Eclipse E-2.5 Stand Bag brings it. An updated version of the original modern stand bag, the latest Eclipse includes smart touches like a magnetic rangefinder pouch, full-length dividers, and forward-facing pockets.
