Wearing The Open: The NIKE GOLF CLUB COLLECTION
Experience a new style inspired by St Andrews, the home of golf, on and off the course.—The 144th Open Championship (THE OPEN), held from Thursday, July 16th to Sunday, July 19th, is accompanied by Nike Golf's latest collection, the "NIKE GOLF CLUB COLLECTION," available for a limited time until Monday, July 27th, at select stores.

The "Links," where dramatic stories unfold, serves as the motif.
The "Nike Golf Club Collection" comprises high-performance polo shirts and shorts for on-course wear, alongside a casual collection for off-course comfort. Both are inspired by the traditional Scottish golf courses known as "links."
The washed texture, evoking the unpredictable weather of links courses—sudden rain and strong winds—feels fresh. This motif is also evident in the graphics, such as raindrops and wind, incorporated throughout the designs.
The base colors for the t-shirts, polo shirts, shorts, caps, and hats are primarily Gym Red, White, and Midnight Navy, the three colors of the Union Jack, in honor of The Open.
The t-shirt designs feature a washed aesthetic inspired by the harsh weather conditions typical of the course. Other designs draw inspiration from the traditions of golf, reflecting the Scottish flag (white and azure), or boldly state "EVERY DAMN BUNKER" in a design reminiscent of the Scottish flag, referencing the challenging bunkers that even top pros struggle with. Another design captures the iconic tee shot over the hotel on the famous 17th hole. Each piece is themed around the unique characteristics of this historic course.
Limited edition golf balls used by pros also available.
The Nike Golf Club Collection includes 7 types of t-shirts (1 color each), 1 type of polo shirt (3 colors), 1 type of jacket (2 colors), 1 type of shorts (4 colors), 1 type of sweatshirt, 2 types of accessories (bucket hats in 3 colors, caps in 5 colors), and 1 type of shoes.
Additionally, alongside the Nike Golf Club Collection, a limited edition of the "Nike Resin Black" golf ball is released. This ball features prints of the bunkers symbolizing the Old Course at St Andrews, a pin flag blowing in the wind, the Scottish flag, and wind and rain graphics on its face.
Wearing the same polo shirts favored by top players like Rory McIlroy and Oliver Fisher, and playing with the golf balls they actually use, might just bring a positive change to your playing style.
