TaylorMade’s PGA Championship Collection: Charlotte’s Royal Treatment

TaylorMade’s PGA Championship Collection: Charlotte’s Royal Treatment


TaylorMade’s limited-edition PGA Championship Collection for 2025 pays tribute to Charlotte, North Carolina home to Quail Hollow, the tournament’s host course.

The staff bag features a dark blue, white, and gold color scheme with a crown on the ball pocket symbolizing Charlotte’s “Queen City” nickname. The city’s motto “Charlotte’s Got a Lot” appears on the bottom collar, with “Queen City” inscribed in the gold ring around the top.

The TaylorMade PGA Championship Collection celebrates Charlotte, the Queen City.

Charlotte’s sporting heritage is represented through hornets on the valuables pocket, acknowledging both baseball (the Charlotte baseball Hornets folded in 1973) and basketball teams that call the city home. Racing culture gets its nod with gray racing decal patterns on the side panels and a checkered flag interior pattern – practical design elements for a city that hosts both the NASCAR Hall of Fame and one of the sport’s most famous speedways.

Feathers on the side panels honor the host venue, with “1961” marking the year the Quail Hollow opened. The matching headcovers continue these themes with gold crowns, white terrycloth feathers, and TaylorMade logos.

While the collection thoughtfully incorporates many Charlotte elements, there’s a notable omission that leaves me disappointed – no specific acknowledgment of Larry Johnson, arguably the greatest Charlotte Hornet ever. The absence of any nod to “Grandmama” feels like a missed opportunity.

Perhaps we’ll see Johnson acknowledged in a future iteration, but for now, Grandmama is sad, and so am I. Even a small silhouette of Johnson’s signature gold tooth or a “Grandmama” tag somewhere would have been a perfect finishing touch for a collection otherwise rich in Charlotte symbolism.

While there is a Hornet, the TaylorMade PGA Championship collection neglects to celebrate famed Hornet, Larry Johnson.

What was I talking about?

Anyway, like previous major championship collections, these items will likely be available in limited quantities and sell quickly when released.

The checkered pattern in the TaylorMade PGA Championship bag is a nod to Charlotte's racing heritage.
