8 Products Made Special for The Masters

The Masters is like an alarm clock for most golfers; it wakes them up from a winter-long hiatus from the game. And once you hear the Masters theme music and a “Hello friends” from Jim Nantz, you can’t help but bring the clubs out of the closet that you stashed away for the offseason.

And to celebrate the excitement, golf companies (and fast food restaurants) release one-off and limited-edition equipment and apparel with a Masters/Augusta National theme. Let’s break out the green and yellow, and break down some of the coolest products made special for the Masters. Some are old, some are new, but they’re all awesome.

Mizuno Irons

According to a Mizuno representative, these prototype irons were built for the domestic market in Japan during the 1990s in very limited quantities. How does one bring his/herself to take a divot with irons this beautiful? h/t reddit/golf

Rory McIlroy Bose Headphones

These limited edition QC25 headphones, designed for select iPod, iPhone and iPad models, will retail for $399.95. Only 500 were made.

While I don’t think Rory sits in airport terminals like us normal folk, these are some sweet head phones.

Learn more about the headphones here.

Lamkin Grips

Lamkin’s special-edition Masters grips include Wrap-Tech, UTx and its new SINK putter model. The Wrap-Tech is built with shock absorption, the UTx is designed for stability ad the SINK putter grip helps to promote alignment and steady hands — all of which Masters participants will need to navigate the diabolical green complexes at Augusta National.

Grips are available for purchase here.

GolfWRX Putter Cover

Hey Jordan, do you like these new GolfWRX putter covers?

Bettinardi HWY 20

We’re giving one of these awe-inspiring Bettinardi HWY 20 Limited Run DASS “Road to Augusta” prototype putters away in the forums.

Lego replica

There’s loving Augusta, and then there’s a building Lego replicas of Masters leaderboards and Augusta National’s clubhouse. I think we know which category this one falls under.

Here’s the full story.

Augusta Food/Beverage Sign

Even if you haven’t been to The Masters, you’ve probably heard tales of their $1.50 pimento cheese sandwiches and relatively dirt cheap beers.

If you love Augusta and its traditions, this work of art is a great addition to your collection. The artwork is called “A Menu Unlike Any Other” and comes from the Classic Georgia and Sugarloaf Social Club. Profits benefit the Yates Scholarship Program.

Arby’s joins in

Speaking of pimento cheese sandwiches, Arby’s Augusta location has a “pigmento” sandwich on its menu to commemorate The Masters. And it has bacon on it. This should finally answer the question that nobody has asked ever: “I wonder if Arby’s curly fries and bacon would go well with pimento cheese sandwiches?”

Arby’s curly fries and bacon go well with everything.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
