Golfers far and wide are familiar with the multi-colored umbrella logo and the worldfamous sports icon it represents. Comprised of apparel, footwear, and accessories, all of which were designed by drawing inspiration from Arnold Palmer’s legacy both on and off the course, the newest PUMA Golf x Arnold Palmer Collection embodies the essence of what golf’s greatest style icon would be wearing today.

Designed as a celebration of “the man,” himself, the 2023 AP Collection utilizes imagery from three key themes in Mr. Palmer’s life – The Pilot, The Star, and The Icon. Things like Cactus and Palm trees from his love of Palm Springs and the desert, lemons and tea bags representing his namesake drink, and various golf-related items like tees, clubs, and flagsticks, all call to mind different parts of The King’s life. Details like imagery appearing not only outside but also inside shirt and sweater collars, high-end fabrics, and quality stitching, set the AP Collection apart from standard golf apparel. To fully honor Mr. Palmer, a pallet of bold colors including Tropical Aqua, Pale Pink, and Lake Blue, are applied in a tasteful but eye-catching way, as is a two-tone version of his iconic umbrella logo.

“We worked closely with the Arnold Palmer team during the design process of the AP Collection,” said Chris MacNeill, Team Head, PLM - Golf Apparel & Accessories, PUMA Golf. “The goal was to create pieces that captured the essence of Mr. Palmer’s life, both on and off the golf course, and to do so with a color palette and premium quality materials that would appeal to all the fans who admired his style and zest for living. Every piece in the PUMA Golf x Arnold Palmer Collection including apparel, shoes, and accessories, possess design qualities that we feel Mr. Palmer would personally appreciate.”

The 2023 Spring/Summer PUMA Golf x Arnold Palmer collection is comprised of six polos, one tee shirt, two layering pieces, two pairs of shorts, one pair of shoes, and three cap options.

Designed in collaboration with Hallof-Fame golfer, Annika Sorenstam, the Revo x Annika collection offers sunglasses that combine Revo’s legendary NASA-based lens technology with Annika’s sense of style on the course. Annika 1 is the perfect polarized sunglass for golfing and enjoying the country club after a round. The singlebridge navigator design adds a touch of unique style. This frame features the ultimate in glare reduction, Revo’s Blue Water signature polarized gray-based, blue mirror coated lens.
