Yes, it’s red, white and blue, but the Liberty Line Collection is tons to Philadelphia-inspired details and images in honor of Aronimink’s home town.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Philadelphia doesn’t do disposable history. This is the city where independence was argued into existence by men wearing wool coats in the middle of summer and it feels like every brick building downtown has a plaque explaining why the country changed because of something that happened inside. Like Boston and New York, this Northeast is heavy with symbolism, so you don’t have to force it.

That’s what makes TaylorMade’s new Liberty Line Collection for the 2026 PGA Championship work better than most commemorative major championship gear.

The easy thing would have been to slap an American flag on a white staff bag, add a few stars near the valuables pocket and call it a day, but these bags, head covers and accessories have a lot more detail and thought than that.

The centerpiece is the Liberty Line staff bag ($699.99), and honestly, the most impressive part of it is the restraint. Yes, it’s white with red and blue accents, but there’s also “City of Brotherly Love” on the base, a 13-starred, colonial-style American flag on the handle, a Liberty Bell with “250th Anniversary of America’s Found” on the ball pocket and an image of Independence Hall has been added to the back-main pocket. Benjamin Franklin’s image is on the valuable’s pocket and each zipper has a tab that says “Love” on it with the round TaylorMade logo added instead of the O.

The stand bag ($279.99) carries the same design language into a more practical setup. Built on the FlexTech platform and weighing 4.5 pounds, it’s aimed at golfers who actually walk instead of simply displaying the thing in a simulator room. The red, white and blue paneling runs throughout without becoming overpowering, and the shared zipper-pull details tie it neatly back to the staff bag.

The headcovers complete the collection in a nostalgic way. The driver cover ($79.99) leans clean and traditional with white, blue and red accents. The Benjamin Franklin fairway wood cover ($69.99) has an Andy Warhol style to it and the hybrid cover ($69.99) might actually be the sleeper of the entire collection because the knit pom-pom look feels genuinely classic instead of trying too hard to look retro.

There are also commemorative Spider and blade-style putter covers available too.

Commemorative golf gear often struggles because it tries to communicate too much all at once. Patriotism. History. Prestige. Championship golf. Brand identity. This one understands something important: Philadelphia and the PGA Championship are already supplying the gravitas. TaylorMade simply had to build around it.

Club Champion Named Among Select Global Partners to Fit and Carry McLaren Golf’s Debut Club Line https://golfingnetworks.com/club-champion-named-among-select-global-partners-to-fit-and-carry-mclaren-golfs-debut-club-line/ https://golfingnetworks.com/club-champion-named-among-select-global-partners-to-fit-and-carry-mclaren-golfs-debut-club-line/#respond Sat, 06 Jun 2026 03:50:29 +0000 https://golfingnetworks.com/club-champion-named-among-select-global-partners-to-fit-and-carry-mclaren-golfs-debut-club-line/

The World’s #1 Custom Club Fitter Becomes an Exclusive Fitting and Retail Partner for McLaren Golf

Willowbrook, IL – Club Champion, the world’s #1 custom golf club fitting company, announced it has been selected as one of a limited number of authorized fitting partners and retailers worldwide to carry and custom-fit the debut line of clubs from McLaren Golf, the new golf equipment brand born from one of motorsport’s most iconic names. Club Champion will offer McLaren Golf clubs exclusively through its custom fitting process at 160+ studio locations across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia, ensuring every McLaren Golf club purchased through Club Champion is precisely fit to the individual golfer’s swing. 

The partnership makes Club Champion one of the few places in the world where golfers can access McLaren Golf equipment – and the only fitting environment where they can do so backed by Club Champion’s proprietary fitting process, industry-leading launch monitor technology, and the most comprehensive component library in golf with over 65,000 shaft, head, and grip combinations.  

“McLaren built its name on the pursuit of perfection and so did we,” said Nick Sherburne, Club Champion Founder. “This partnership exists because both brands share an uncompromising commitment to precision – and to giving high-performance enthusiasts equipment that actually matches their capabilities.”

McLaren Golf: A New Standard for Performance Equipment 

McLaren Golf enters the equipment market carrying one of the most recognizable brands in the world of performance engineering. Known for Formula 1 championships, hypercar design, and an obsessive pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency and material science, McLaren brings a fundamentally different approach to club design – one rooted in aerospace-grade materials, precision manufacturing tolerances, and data-driven performance optimization that mirrors the technology used in its racing and road car divisions. 

The debut club line reflects that philosophy at every level: advanced carbon fiber and titanium construction, proprietary face technology designed to maximize ball speed across the hitting area, and a design language that is unmistakably McLaren – clean, purposeful, and built for those who refuse to compromise. 

“We didn’t enter golf to make beautiful clubs,” said Tim Rittenhouse, McLaren Golf Chief Commercial Officer. “We entered to make the best-performing clubs in the world. The McLaren name has never stood for anything less than that standard – and McLaren Golf will be no different.”  

Why Club Champion – And Why A Fitting Is Required 

McLaren’s decision to partner with Club Champion for fitting and retail distribution reflects a shared philosophy: that a high-performance club in the wrong configuration for a golfer’s swing is a high-performance club that underperforms. Equipment at this level demands fitting. Off-the-rack delivery would be inconsistent with what the McLaren name represents. 

Club Champion was selected for its unmatched fitting infrastructure – 160+ studio locations, proprietary fitting methodology and technology, and a brand reputation built on delivering measurable performance improvements for golfers of every level. Every McLaren Golf club sold through Club Champion will be custom-configured – shaft, head, loft, lie, length, and grip – to the specific golfer based on real swing data collected during a Club Champion fitting session. 

‘The right club in the wrong configuration is still the wrong club.’ That principle is why Club Champion was built – and it’s why McLaren Golf chose Club Champion as one of their exclusive global fitting partners. 

Availability and How to Access McLaren Golf Through Club Champion 

McLaren Golf clubs will be available through Club Champion’s custom fitting process beginning in mid-May. Golfers interested in McLaren Golf equipment must begin with a Club Champion fitting session, during which their swing data will be used to configure the precise McLaren Golf specifications that will maximize performance for their individual game. 

Given the limited global distribution of McLaren Golf equipment, demand is expected to significantly exceed initial availability. Club Champion encourages interested golfers to book a fitting session as early as possible by visiting clubchampion.com.

Mizuno Expands the Pro Line Irons range https://golfingnetworks.com/mizuno-expands-the-pro-line-irons-range/ https://golfingnetworks.com/mizuno-expands-the-pro-line-irons-range/#respond Sat, 31 Jan 2026 02:52:35 +0000 https://golfingnetworks.com/mizuno-expands-the-pro-line-irons-range/

Cut Sole introduces sharper leading edges and bevelled trailing relief, ensuring dependable turf interaction from every lie.

Completing the design, a Nickel Chrome Satin Brush finish reduces glare and reinforces the premium aesthetic.

Mizuno M-15 iron
Mizuno M-15 iron

The M-15, successor to the Mizuno Pro 245, offers a fully integrated progression of performance from long iron to wedge.

Each section of the set is designed with a specific purpose, creating smooth transitions in both shape and feel throughout.

At the core of the design lies the Contoured Ellipse Face, the latest development of Mizuno’s CORTECH technology, which defines the 4–8 irons. This multi-thickness forged construction, supported by a hollow body design, optimises ball speed and consistency while preserving the soft, responsive feel Mizuno players prize.

To improve launch and stability, tungsten weighting of 51g in the long irons and 50.3g in the mids has been strategically suspended within the head, helping produce straighter, more forgiving performance.

The long and mid irons pair a Grain Flow Forged 4135+ Chromoly face and neck with a stainless-steel back piece for additional rebound. The 9-iron to gap wedge transitions into a partial hollow 1025E Grain Flow Forged HD body with a stainless back, a construction that emphasises control, precision and manoeuvrability.

Refined sole geometry with added bounce encourages a cleaner entry and smoother exit through the turf, maintaining consistency across all course conditions.

M-15 Close up

Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology and copper underlay reduce sound pressure around the 6kHz frequency, producing the soft yet solid strike that Mizuno players instinctively recognise.

Finished in Premium Nickel Chrome Satin, the M-15 brings a contemporary look with tour-informed shaping.

Together, the M-13 and M-15 mark the start of the Mizuno Pro Modern Series, joining the Signature Series (S-1 muscleback and S-3 cavity) to complete the Mizuno Pro line-up.

While the Signature Series continues Mizuno’s most traditional tour iron lineage, the Modern Series introduces new-generation solutions in speed, stability and shot-height control, all within the classic, compact profiles trusted by elite players.

The result is a clearer, more refined Mizuno Pro structure, one that offers golfers the freedom to match head design to playing style without ever losing the forged identity that defines Mizuno.

MIZUNO UNVEILS NEXT GENERATION MILLED PUTTER LINE https://golfingnetworks.com/mizuno-unveils-next-generation-milled-putter-line/ https://golfingnetworks.com/mizuno-unveils-next-generation-milled-putter-line/#respond Tue, 27 Jan 2026 22:59:16 +0000 https://golfingnetworks.com/mizuno-unveils-next-generation-milled-putter-line/

A thicker sole structure in the heel and toe enhances rigidity, refining both the sound and feel through impact and removing any trace of metallic resonance. The result is a putter that embodies classic proportions yet feels entirely modern in feedback and flow.

Defined by its refined mid-mallet silhouette, the Osaka (available in plumber and slant-neck configurations) blends traditional shaping with contemporary stability.

Its shorter heel-toe length and wide blade stance provide visual stability at address, instilling confidence before every stroke. Perimeter weighting provides enhanced MOI, while subtle toe hang options allow players to select their preferred release profile.

The Osaka’s balanced proportions and deep milling deliver the crisp, satisfying sound and roll that Mizuno’s tour staff demanded, a model equally suited to both blade and mallet players seeking assured stability without sacrificing feel.

Driven by Mizuno’s extensive sound and vibration analysis, the Nagoya introduces the Roll-Up Cavity, a geometry designed to minimise sole displacement at impact while amplifying resonance control.

Available in a slant or double-bend neck, this unique structure produces a denser, more solid strike and an ultra-stable roll. Enhanced perimeter weighting further increases MOI, while the refined mass distribution delivers a truer sensation through the stroke, the culmination of years of acoustic and structural study.

Nagoya and Tokyo Range
Nagoya and Tokyo Range

Completing the family, the Tokyo showcases Mizuno’s Channel Wing design, a sculpted cavity that blends aerodynamic form with exceptional rigidity. Like the Nagoya, its geometry is tuned through sound analysis to eliminate unwanted frequencies and the metallic ‘ting’ found in earlier OMOI prototypes.

Also available in slant or double-bend, the Tokyo’s more compact profile appeals to purists seeking precision and feedback in a shape that frames the ball cleanly and promotes a natural, repeatable stroke.

Every putter in the series is available in two premium finishes—Grey Ion or Nickel—each chosen to complement the head shape and provide a refined, durable aesthetic that matches Mizuno’s meticulous standards.

The 2026 M.CRAFT series represents more than an evolution; it is a return to Mizuno’s roots in sound-tuned engineering and forged precision.

Each head is shaped, weighted, and milled in Japan to create a true sensory connection between player, putter, and performance.

Together, the Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo models mark a new era of Mizuno craftsmanship, built on the belief that the truest measure of feel is not only what you sense through your hands, but what you hear in the strike.
