As golf season truly kicks into gear following the 107th PGA Championship, everyone is ready to hit the links. The weather is warming across the country and tee times are booking up.
For many, Memorial Day signifies the beginning of summer.
PXG, one of the premier brands in golf, recognizes that fact. That prompted the recent drop of its latest collection, the Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection. This perfectly on-brand collection is a salute to performance, style, and American golf culture.

A lot of brands may say that, but PXG truly embodies the American spirit. The brands founder and CEO, Bob Parsons, is a United States Marine Corps Vietnam veteran.
Having met and spent time with the man, I can attest to his bravery, courage, and willingness to push the envelope. He brought that mentality to golf, which has long since been a passion of his, as has creating top-of-the-line golf equipment and apparel.
PXG has already built a reputation for being arguably the world's best golf club manufacturer. But their apparel game is rapidly gaining traction as well.

If you are looking to be comfortable for that early tee time, the collection also features a sleek, "Americana Home Course" hoodie.

But the heavy hitters include some patriotic golf bags, both standing and hybrid versions, as well as a crossbody bag.
All told, there are 18 pieces in the latest drop for golfers to enjoy.
Since its inception 12 years ago, PXG has embodied the belief that every new product – from golf clubs to sport fashion apparel – should be markedly better.
But the golf brand is more just a business. Bob and his wife created the Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, give back in the most endearing of ways. The foundation provides various grants to nonprofits, with a focus on low-income and underserved communities.
The foundation donates an average of $1 million every 15 days. That is not a typo, either. They have done for that for more than a decade.
As the brand has grown, so has its list of ambassadors and players that use the equipment. Jake Knapp, Zach Johnson and Eric Cole are PXG golfers on the PGA Tour. Meanwhile, Solheim Cup stars Celine Boutier and Megan Khang also represent the American brand.

The Story Behind Jackie Kennedy's Cartier Watch: A Royal Gift With ‘Traces and Clues of Her Life' Revealed
The V&A's latest fashion exhibit showcases the iconic, world-renowned jewelry brand Cartier, and among its dazzling display of diamonds is a timepiece steeped in history: the Cartier watch once owned by Jackie Kennedy. According to Sunita Kumar Nair, author of 'CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion,' this display is particularly meaningful: 'This is an incredible moment, for the general public to see a historical timepiece from the Kennedy legacy, particularly Jackie's,' Kumar Nair said. 'It wasn't included for public eyes until now, which is an excellent example of how she still remains an important part of our cultural legacy and how there are still parts of her life yet to be unravelled.'

Season Three Premiere This storied accessory has journeyed through the ages. Its significance dates back to 1963, when President John F. Kennedy launched a fitness initiative, challenging the population to walk 50 miles, hoping to inspire Americans to become more active. Jackie's brother-in-law, Prince Stanislaw 'Stas' Radziwill, who was married to her sister, took part in the trek. Jackie intermittently joined the walk, offering support and encouragement along the way. In commemoration of the experience, Stas gave her the Cartier watch. The memory of that day was preserved with a heartfelt inscription engraved on the back: 'Stas to Jackie / 23 Feb. 63 / 2:05 AM to 9:35 PM,' in script. In a tragic turn of events, six months after this, President Kennedy was assassinated, leaving Jackie a widow. As reported by Nair, the next time the widow was seen in public, she was with her daughter Caroline skiing in Sun Valley, a glimpse of the watch face captured. 'She served the American people as first lady, and she respected the boundaries and messages that certain pieces of fashion and jewelry meant to the general public and her husband's presidency,' Kumar Nair explained, 'it felt like the watch was a signifier of her new life, a private citizen free to wear what she wanted, and a flag of her social status and life as a widow.' After that, the ex-first lady was rarely seen without it and it became a staple for her, making it a well-loved accessory. After her death in 1994, Sotheby's held a sale of her belongings, which did not include her watch. It wasn't until 2017 that Christie's announced a sale of the watch. An unidentified bidder won the accessory for $379,500, which was later revealed to be Kim Kardashian. The story now continues as the watch takes its new home at the V&A. 'Jackie was so private, and we are still left with traces and clues of her life. There is something to be said about keeping parts of your life private, particularly when you are serving a public life,' Kumar Nair noted.

China Accuses Trump of Violation, Threatens 'Forceful Measures'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. China accused the U.S. of violating an agreement made at their tariff-cutting discussions in Geneva in May, and said it will take further action as the trade dispute between the world's two largest economies blows open again. President Donald Trump's administration has in recent days issued AI chip export control guidelines, stopped the sale of chip design software to China, and is planning to revoke a significant number of Chinese student visas. Trump had also accused the Chinese side of having "TOTALLY VIOLATED" the Geneva agreement, which saw the U.S. and China both reduce their import tariffs by 115 percentage points, soothing global markets. "These practices seriously violate the consensus" reached in Geneva, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Monday. The Commerce Ministry said China held up its end of the deal, canceling or suspending tariffs and non-tariff measures taken against the U.S. "reciprocal tariffs" following the agreement. "The United States has unilaterally provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations," while China has stood by its commitments, the statement said. It also threatened unspecified retaliation, saying China will "continue to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests." And in response to recent comments by Trump, it said of the U.S.: "Instead of reflecting on itself, it has turned the tables and unreasonably accused China of violating the consensus, which is seriously contrary to the facts." This is a developing article. Updates to follow. This article includes reporting by The Associated Press.
