This 11-year-old Michigan golf phenom (and Greyson ambassador) already has 21 titles
MONROE, Mich. — Harlow Swank is 11 years old. If she repeats as champion of the La-Z-Boy Junior Open at Green Meadows Golf Course this week, the number of golf tournaments she has won in her career will be double her age. After finishing the La-Z-Boy, she is headed to one of the country's most famous golf courses — Pinehurst in North Carolina — to play for a world championship July 31-Aug. 2. She had already become a brand ambassador for Greyson Clothiers out of Detroit. She wears their apparel for all of her tournaments. It hasn't taken long for the Newport St. Charles student to become a local legend on the links. 'It's a fun sport,' she said. Any sport is a lot more fun when you win. She has won 19 times on the Southeast Michigan US Kids Tour along with titles last summer in the Sandy Creek Junior Tournament and the La-Z-Boy. She had the lowest score overall in the Sandy Creek event, which included high school golfers. She shot personal-bests of 34 for 9 holes and 79 for 18 to finish 50 strokes ahead of anyone else in the 12-under division of the La-Z-Boy a year ago. Harlow still is eligible for that division this summer, but is moving up to 14-under so that she can shoot 18 holes each day. The 47th annual La-Z-Boy Junior Open will be held July 22-23. 'We've asked the La-Z-Boy organizers to move her up to 14u so she can play from the same tees as the older girls,' said her father, Tim Swank. 'This is to challenge her and see if she can hang with the best in the area regardless of age.' Harlow doesn't act her age on the course. She recently competed against her father and two of his brothers on a family trip to California. Beating dad was nothing new. 'That has been happening for a couple of years,' he admitted. The round was an eye-opener for his brothers, who are avid golfers. 'They were surprised,' Harlow said with a shy smile. Tim was not surprised at all. 'When she's on the golf course, she's a full-blown adult,' he said. 'She can have a conversation with anyone.' Harlow's golf journey began at the age of six. 'My dad handed me a set of clubs and told me to start swinging,' she said. Tim had strayed away from the game for a few years while starting a family. He immediately spotted the potential in his middle daughter, but tried to keep it low-key. 'She is very natural in the way she moves the club,' he said. 'We started out by going out to Big Al's (Greens and Grille in Newport). We would drive around, hit the ball and eat candy.' Soon afterward, Tim asked his daughter if she wanted a golf coach. She quickly took him up on the offer. Harlow won her first tournament at the age of 7. Ironically, neither older sister Channing nor younger brother Fitzgerald have much interest in golf. What is the strongest part of Harlow's game? 'Probably my driver,' she said. 'Sometimes it's off, but it's usually pretty good. My farthest is 213 (yards). I am usually around 180.' She will be competing in the US Kids World Championships at Pinehurst for the second time. It features golfers from 50 countries ages 5-12. 'It's three days, 18 holes each day,' Tim said. 'They have a parade of nations at the start. It's really cool.' Harlow picked the Sandy Creek Tournament over the world championships last summer. She placed 80th in 2023. 'I like the big tournaments,' she said. She already has acquired a golf nickname. 'They call me Triple H,' she said. What does that stand for? 'Hard-hitting Harlow,' she said. Harlow's unique first name is a tribute to iconic movie star Jean Harlow. 'Her name is Harlow Jean,' Tim said. 'My wife (Rachel) came up with that. We call her Lo.' A perfect name for a girl who always seems to have low scores on the golf course.

Cameron Smith has perfectly valid reason for playing Masters practice round in suit jacket
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Cameron Smith turned more than few heads on Wednesday when he showed up to Augusta National for his final Masters practice wearing a navy suit jacket, complete with the logo of his LIV Golf team, Ripper GC. Turns out, it was a bit. Smith explained Thursday after his opening 1-under 71 – not in a blazer – that the fashion decision stemmed from a recent hang with Greyson Clothiers founder Charlie Schaefer. 'Funny story,' Smith said, '… We had a couple of beers and maybe even a couple too many beers, and we got to talking about fashion. He said, 'It would be great if you wore a blazer at the Masters. I think it's the place to do it,' and I agreed to it. I'm a man of my word, so I did it.' The announcers on 'Masters on the Range' had some good fun with Smith's attire as well, at one point breaking down the potential for the jacket to serve as a training aid. Some extensive talk on "Masters on the Range" that Cam Smith's suit jacket could have some training-aid benefits 'For how a sport coat or a blazer should feel, that one I was able to swing in pretty easy,' Smith added. 'It was a bit chilly, so it kind of worked out. 'I wouldn't say I'm a fashion guru by any standard, but I felt good in it.'

2025 Masters Tournament Best Apparel Roundup
Rhoback's Azalea Collection features polos, quarter-zips and skorts for him and her. It's officially Masters Week—the proverbial Super Bowl for golf retail as golfers near and far champ at the bit to get onto their local tracks flaunting the latest and greatest apparel, equipment and accessories. While Augusta National Golf Club and The Masters are über-protective of their NIL and IP, that hasn't stopped brand after brand from releasing Masters-inspired collections and products with lawsuit-safe names like 'April Major,' 'Journey to Georgia' and 'Azalea.' Regardless if they're officially deemed Masters collections or not, golf brands and fans are well aware that anything floral and/or pink, green and yellow is an ode to professional golf's first major and the unofficial start to the amateur golf season. Here are some of the best 2025 Masters Tournament apparel collections and lines in no particular order. The Sun Day Red Azalea Gold Collection is the brand's first Masters-related line. Having just missed out on the Masters hoopla last year as the brand from Tiger Woods in partnership with TaylorMade launched in May 2024, Sun Day Red unveiled its Azalea Gold Collection in time for this year's tournament. The debut Masters collection features polos, hoodies, quarter-zips and limited-edition headwear and ball markers all incorporating subtle golden azalea motifs; one of the hoodies even pays tribute to Woods' five Masters wins. Not only did Rhoback release its own collection, it collaborated with two other brands for more ... More Masters swag. Not only did Rhoback release its 2025 Azalea Collection featuring a variety of men's and women's products from polos to quarter-zips and skorts in navy, pink, white and green, the brand also collaborated with two other brands for limited-edition products. Rhoback and Seamus Golf released Azalea head covers on April 3, while a partnership with Nicklaus Brands celebrates iconic moments of six-time Masters winner Jack Nicklaus' career. Greyson Clothiers released its Garden of Thieves capsule for the Masters. Is there a hotter brand in golf than Greyson Clothiers? After closing a $20 million Series A fundraising round in February, the luxury clothing and sportswear brand announced a multi-year partnership with Jon Rahm's Legion XIII and Cam Smith's Ripper GC LIV teams on top of signing six-time LPGA winner Jessica Korda as an ambassador. Greyson will keep the momentum going for the Masters with its Garden of Thieves capsule featuring polos, hoodies, hats and accessories donning the brand's wolf logo in various settings, patterns and colors. Johnnie-O's April Major Collection features playful pocket T-shirts. Seamlessly blending West Coast casual and East Coast prep, Johnnie-O has grown into a major player in the golf apparel space. To celebrate the 2025 Masters, the brand founded by John O'Donnell, brother of actor Chris O'Donnell, released its April Major Collection highlighted by a trio of playful pocket T-shirts, a pink-and-green floral polo and flag hunter mesh trucker hat—all of which would look equally great on the course or at the beach. Malbon and contemporary artist Leonard McGurr AKA Futura collaborated on this year's collection. While many brands are playing checkers, Malbon is playing chess. Actually, Malbon isn't even playing chess, it's playing mahjong. A year after 'vestgate,' brand ambassador Jason Day piqued our interest by recently saying this year's Masters scripting featured 'some bold stuff' that still required approval from Augusta National. He wasn't lying. Malbon is back at it by collaborating with contemporary artist Leonard McGurr aka Futura on an eye-catching line featuring polos, pants, jackets, vests, shirts and accessories. TravisMathew's Masters-inspired collection is called Our Favorite Time of Year. Is there a better time of year than Masters week for golfers? Not only does it kick off professional golf's major tournament schedule, but it's the unofficial start of the golf season for amateurs, especially in the Northeast. TravisMathew's Our Favorite Time of Year collection celebrates this joyous occasion with polos, crewnecks, hats, shoes and even a navy Champions dinner jacket—because after all, the iconic green jacket is only reserved for one golfer each April. Devereux's Journey to Georgia collection blends streetwear with golf fashion. Inspired by the charm, traditions and style of the South, Devereaux's Journey to Georgia collection continues to blend streetwear with golf as the Arizona-based brand does so well. Reflecting the elegance and timeless appeal of the South, the collection features polos, T-shirts, crewneck sweater, gnome-inspired head covers, seersucker shorts and more that stand out from the azalea-patterned, green-and-yellow collections that dominate this time of year. Bad Birdie's Amateurs collection is back for another year. Bad Birdie is back with its Amateurs 2025 collection ahead of this year's Masters. Comprised of 13 products including T-shirts, polos, crewneck, hats and more, the team channeled peak '80s yearbook photos to showcase the collection because 'nothing says 'Augusta' quite like the awkward confidence of a yearbook glamour shot.' Waggle Golf's collection celebrates practice round pond skipping at the 16th hole. Each year, the Waggle Golf team picks a tradition to play off of for its Masters collection. A year after paying homage to Augusta National's gnomes, the brand's 2025 Azalea Collection is led by Skipper, the unofficial mascot of the 16th hole where players try to skip balls across the pond during the practice round to the excitement of the patrons. Skipper and the theme of 'pond skipping' are present throughout this year's collection of hats, T-shirts and polos. Masters Collection features red and black polos and outerwear. One look at the Masters Tour Collection and you can clearly see it bucks the trend of the typical floral-patterned and/or green-and-yellow Masters collections that flood the marketplace. Inspired by azaleas surrounding the iconic 13th hole at Augusta, this red-and-black line of performance polos and outerwear from the Swedish brand will be worn this week by ambassadors including Viktor Hovland, who is coming off a win at the Valspar Championship. Under Armour's Going for the Green collection. Oftentimes golfers are faced with the question: 'Should I lay up or go for the green?' Under Armour has made its choice clear with its Going for the Green collection that not only celebrates risk taking, but the season's first major with limited-edition polos, shirts and accessories in a combination of navy, green and white. UA brand ambassadors Jordan Spieth and Maverick McNealy will debut various pieces from the line this week at Augusta. Enjoy the playful patterns inside the hood of this green hoodie. Azaleas, pimento cheese, green-and-yellow color schemes, oh my! The Swannies Champions Bloom collection highlights all of the best themes about the Masters and Augusta National with 20+ products for him and her including polos, hoodies, hats and skorts. While the green-and-yellow Championship hoodie appears to be one of the more traditional pieces in the collection, a collage of Masters-related items inside the hood brings it to the next level. The Season For Green collection features Masters-inspired pieces like this sleeveless Magnolia polo. While this spring-inspired collection from Straight Down would be great for any occasion, you can't help but notice the green-and-yellow products within the Season For Green line paying homage to the Masters. The Gilmore cardigan, Patron quarter-zip, Magnolia polo and Boardwalk sneaker (in verde with an azalea pattern on the bottom, of course) are perfect for Masters season.
