PXG Drops On-Brand Stars & Stripes Capsule for Memorial Day
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. 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. PXG recent Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection for Memorial Day: A Bold Tribute to American Golf PXG recent Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection for Memorial Day: A Bold Tribute to American Golf PXG/PXG 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. PXG - Stars & Stripes Collection: A Bold Tribute to American Golf The latest drop from the leading golf brand includes everything from ball markers, head covers, golf gloves, caps, and on-course accessories. If you are looking to be comfortable for that early tee time, the collection also features a sleek, "Americana Home Course" hoodie. Premier Golf Brand PXG Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection for Memorial Day: A Bold Tribute to American Golf Premier Golf Brand PXG Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection for Memorial Day: A Bold Tribute to American Golf PXG/PXG 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.

(Image: Getty Images) The executive chairman of an island Scotch whisky distillery which is cutting jobs to "safeguard the future' of the business has voiced hopes that the workforce can eventually grow again. Isle of Harris Distillery, which produces The Hearach single malt Scotch whisky and Isle of Harris gin, last week announced plans for redundancies among its workforce of 45 as it cuts production and moves from two shifts to one shift a day. Speaking to The Herald in the wake of the job cuts announcement, executive chairman and chief financial officer Ron MacEachran said: 'At this point, we are doing this very regrettably but very much with the intent that, when circumstances change, the business will again be able to move forward and build on the foundations that have been created.' Asked if the workforce could rise again in future, Mr MacEachran replied: 'It is too early to say but one would hope that if the business was back on a growth journey that would mean more employment.'

(Image: PA) JD Wetherspoon declared today that its pubs have capitalised on the spring sunshine while reiterating the impact of fresh hikes in labour costs on the bottom line. The hospitality giant, which has around 800 pubs across the UK, said like-for-like sales had increased by 5.6% in the 13 weeks to April 27 and 5.1% in the year-to-date. Total sales for the year to date were up by 5% in the quarter and by 4.2% in the year-to-date, the company said. While sales have been increasing, costs have also been rising at Wetherspoon, which reiterated that the rise in employer national insurance contributions and national living wage will add around £1.2 million per week to its wage bill.

(Image: American Golf) Despite its name, American Golf was founded in the UK in 1978 by brothers Robert and Howard Bilton, who were inspired by sports shops they had visited while in the US. Following a succession of ownership changes before going into administration in 2018, the business is now owned by International Leisure Group with financial backing from Leeds-based private equity group Endless. The sport's post-Covid boom encouraged American Golf to overstretch its resources, with the business recording a loss in 2023. A subsequent restructuring has left the UK's largest golf retailer "well-placed" for growth according to chief executive Nigel Oddy, who was brought in by Endless in April 2023.
