There are a handful of things that mark the beginning of spring in the golf world, but perhaps none is more impactful and recognizable than the first major of the year in Augusta, Georgia. And for an event that is steeped in tradition, itโs no surprise that it has become a yearly must for most major golf brands to do their own themed line based around the tournament, usually including the colors green, yellow and/or azalea pink, for obvious reasons.
And this year is no different, with everything from shoes and bags to shirts and hats getting the Augusta treatment. So hereโs a look at some of the most eye-catching and spring-inducing items weโve seen, starting where you should with any good outfit: the shoes.
It All Starts With the Shoesโฆ
Letโs jump right into it with the Jumpman himself. Nikeโsย latest version of the Air Jordan 1 Lowย in white, pine green and light smoke grey are not only inspired by one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, the Air Jordan 1 G, theyโre also inspired by one of the most iconic golf tournaments of all time. All that aside, with the green providing accents and the grey and white doing most of the work, these are among the coolest Air Jordan 1 Lows weโve seen.
Another fun foot option with a green jacket state of mind is G/FORE and its โ24 Tourney Capsule collection. Using the companyโs standard mix of modern designs, youthful energy and traditional golf, highlights includeย the MG4+ shoeย with a gecko green camo to fit the theme,ย the G.112ย shoe with gecko green accents throughout, and theย Gallivan2r TPU saddleย shoe with some green on the bottom.
Thankfully G/FORE didnโt forget about your head for golfโs first shot at glory in 2024, with the Occupy Greens Stretch Twill snapbackย hat, featuring a green silicone โOCCUPY GREENSโ patch. Of course you can always go ahead andย match your gloveย and even yourย putter coverย to the rest of it as well. Tis the season!
Mastering the rest of the look
Once your feet are feeling the Augusta National flow, a good next step could be the Criquet Azalea Collection. This is an exclusive drop for FairwayStyles using Criquetโsย Sport Performance Shirtย with an embroidered Azalea on the left chest pocket, similar toย last yearโs. The shirt will come in several traditional colors including navy, white, Augusta green and watermelon (pink), along with the โ86, which is a yellow color and a nod to Jack Nicklausโ 1986 win.
And after turning heads last year with his play and his wardrobe, Viktor Hovland is hoping to do the same once again withย J. Lindebergโsย second drop of this yearโs Tour Collection. Inspired by Augusta Nationalโs 13th hole called โAzalea,โ the shirts show azaleas that are more pronounced and photorealistic than last year, and should succeed at both paying tribute to the course and helping its players stand outโฆ or blend in.
Put It In the Bag!
Finishing off your Augusta-inspired look in style is easy: do it with your golf bag. Luckily,ย Sunday Golfย has a themed bag for the occasion โ an exclusive to FairwayStyles and World Wide Golf โ after taking the super popular Loma Bag and making it white, green and yellow with pink azalea print pockets and dividers. Itโs still the under-two-pound, ultra-lightweight golf bag with a built-in stand and insulated drink pouch, but now itโs built espcially for a golfing โ and fashion โ master!
