Rickie Fowler Makes Personal Announcement Days Before The Open
Rickie Fowler is one of the most fashion-forward figures in the game of golf, and has been ever since his shaggy hair and bright orange outfits burst onto the professional golf scene in 2009.

This is thanks in part to his longstanding partnership with PUMA, which Fowler, 36, has been rocking ever since his first year on tour. The legendary brand has made everything from Fowler's iconic flat-brimmed "P" hats and stylish monochromatic outfits, to his trend setting TitanTour Ignite Hi-Top SE golf shoes and flashy floral print polos.
Needless to say, the six-time PGA Tour winner and PUMA have been known to make a fashion statement, and the duo have partnered with premium athletic wear brand, Reigning Champ, to create an evocative new collection that blurs athletic boundaries.
Inspired by the universal language of sport and drawing on PUMA's soccer heritage, The PUMA x Reigning Champ Field to Fairway collection bridges the worlds of soccer and golf to re-imagine the golfer's kit.

'As an athlete and lifelong sports fan, I love how the Field to Fairway collection celebrates sport at an international level. Both sports continue to grow on the world stage, we're in a Ryder Cup year and the World Cup is just around the corner, so this feels like the perfect time to collab,' Fowler said in a press release. 'It's a sharp collection and I look forward to wearing it in competition.'
Founded in 2007, Reigning Champ is a leading designer of premium athletic apparel inspired by the culture of sport. Their classic and timeless designs are made with the highest quality materials to ensure a stylish and long lasting fit whether you're on the course, at the gym, or hanging with friends after the round.
Reigning Champ's partnership was a natural fit for PUMA GOLF, who has always been on the forefront of modern golf attire. The PUMA x Reigning Champ Field to Fairway collection is more than apparel, however, according to Chris MacNeill, Global Director of Apparel and Accessories at PUMA GOLF. "It's a cultural crossover that resonates with today's global sports fan.'
The collection can be found at PUMA Golf and Reigning Champ starting today.

"I Love to See it": Brett Baty's Strong Comments on Mets Teammate
"I Love to See it": Brett Baty's Strong Comments on Mets Teammate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When Francisco Álvarez stepped to the plate in the eighth inning at Citi Field Monday night, the New York Mets didn't just need a hit—they needed a spark. Down 5–3 earlier in the game, the team had clawed back into a tie, and the stage was set for a defining moment. Álvarez, freshly recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, delivered it with a ringing opposite-field double that helped fuel a four-run rally and power the Mets to a 7–5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. It was a moment months in the making. The 23-year-old catcher had been optioned to Syracuse on June 21 after struggling at the plate and behind it. In 35 games prior to his demotion, he hit just .236 with three home runs, and his defense had drawn concern from Mets coaches. But instead of sulking, Álvarez put in the work—revamping his swing mechanics, sharpening his pitch framing, and refining his game-calling. Over 21 games in Triple-A, he hit .270 with 11 home runs and 24 RBIs, showing renewed confidence at the plate and earning his call-up for Monday's opener against the Angels. 'He lives for the big moment, so I love to see it,' said third baseman Brett Baty, who scored the go-ahead run off Álvarez's eighth-inning double, which ignited the decisive rally. Álvarez also impressed defensively, catching the entire game and throwing out Angels shortstop Zach Neto trying to steal second base in the seventh. From pitch sequencing to blocking balls in the dirt, his growth behind the plate was on full display. 'It felt really special to be able to get that reception from the fans,' Álvarez said after the win, speaking through team interpreter Alan Suriel. 'I'm super-appreciative of all the fans here.' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza shared the sentiment: 'It was really special for us to see the reception from the fanbase.' Alvarez stayed hot, homering in the win over Los Angeles on Tuesday before getting the series finale off on Wednesday — a game in which New York completed a sweep. For the Mets, Álvarez's return represents more than a roster move—it's a reminder that setbacks can fuel progress. His clutch performance Monday night wasn't just a boost for a team chasing a playoff spot; it was the statement of a young catcher who embraced the challenge and came back better.

After caddie change that 'wasn't my choice,' Kurt Kitayama teams with bro for 3M win
Kurt Kitayama's three-shot victory Sunday at the 3M Open marked his second career PGA Tour win. It was his first alongside his older brother, Daniel. Daniel Kitayama, who has caddied off and on for his brother over the years, picked up the bag for the first time this season at last week's Barracuda Championship, which was Kurt's first event after splitting with his previous caddie, Tim Tucker. And as Tucker worked spot duty for his old boss, Bryson DeChambeau, at this week's LIV U.K. event, Daniel was looping a second straight week for little bro. 'You know, the caddie change wasn't my choice actually,' Kitayama said Sunday evening, 'and so I had to find someone that I knew, I had to find someone that I trusted, and my brother's been on the bag before. We won twice in Europe. He's always been around me at tournaments and whenever he can, so I figured that was going to be the best fit to finish the season.' Kurt Kitayama was T-4 at the John Deere Classic, his last tournament with Tucker on the bag, before tying for 14th in Tahoe. Tucker was filling in for DeChambeau's regular caddie, Greg Bodine, and told Golfweek that after this week, 'I will see what opportunities there are in the caddie world.' DeChambeau was T-11 on Sunday. Said Kurt of Daniel: 'He helped me stay calm out there, make good decisions, and yeah, just helps having family on the bag.' Kitayama's win moved him to No. 53 in FedExCup points, so with one regular-season tournament left, he's guaranteed to qualify for the playoff opener, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
