TaylorMade and Kith announce an extensive line of collaborative products (Stealth Plus drivers, “K-790” irons, apparel, and WAY more)
Meeting on the cutting edge of golf equipment and apparel, TaylorMade and Kith have partnered up on an extensive lineup of new products under the “Kith for TaylorMade” umbrella.
Included in the co-branded family are Stealth drivers, “K-790” irons, MG3 wedges, a Spider GT putter, a TP Soto putter, TP5 golf balls, gloves, tees, hat clips, ball markers, towels, golf bags, and a wide range of apparel products, such as wool varsity jackets, windshirts, hoodies, hats, polos, vests, socks, shorts and pants.

The apparel line features a distinctive new-age look combined with old-school inspirations, such as TaylorMade’s 80’s-style logo.
“The products we partnered with Kith to create are a result of the meshing of technological innovation and visual artistry to intersect style and performance in the game of golf,” said Brian Bazzel, TaylorMade’s Vice President of Product Creation. “The Kith team has an iconic design eye that collectively inspired us to create something unique for both Kith and TaylorMade consumers, many of whom are loyal to both of our brands. We’ve always been attracted to partnerships that allow us to reimagine what a golfer plays, wears and relies on and our relationship with Kith was born from a shared passion for the game of golf.”

As for the hard goods, TaylorMade has been collaborating with Kith for over a year prior to this announcement. While the technology featured in the equipment is the same as the current TaylorMade retail products, the colorways, designs and branding are distinct for this Kith series.
“The level of investment from both sides was so deep that we introduced the Kith team to our Stealth products over a year before they were launched to properly blend our visions together,” Bazzel said. “In that process, we saw Kith’s commitment to the authenticity and personality of our brand — they were intense in their appreciation for the performance of our products, while still being able to add their visual touch. When it came to apparel and accessories, we were excited to give Kith the freedom to stretch our brand into a new landscape of fashion. Together, we cohesively designed almost every aspect and brought to life an aesthetic to our products that elevates the reach of both Kith and TaylorMade.”
All of the Kith for TaylorMade products release on Friday, July 1 over on Kith’s website and all Kith shops at 11am est.
Let’s take a quick dive into each of the golf clubs in the new series.
Kith for TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver

TaylorMade’s standard Stealth Plus driver has an innovative red-colored TwistFace made from 60 layers of carbon, reducing weight by 40 percent compared to the previously used titanium material.
The Kith for TaylorMade version has the same technology, but a distinctly different black-and-gold colorway, featuring a Kith monogram crown, a Kith alignment aid, and pops of gold coloring throughout the design.
Selling for $650, the Kith for TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver comes stock with a branded Fujikura Ventus shaft and Lamkin grip, and it comes in 9 or 10.5 degree lofts.
Kith for TaylorMade K-790 irons

The irons are creatively named K-790, a play on TaylorMade’s usual retail design that’s called the P790. The K in K-790, as you may expect, stands for Kith.
Like TaylorMade’s P-790, the Kith versions also have hollow-bodied designs that are packed with SpeedFoam Air to increase distance and forgiveness. Each iron in the set (4-PW) showcases Kith monogram laser-etching on the back.
The K-790 irons will sell for $1500 per set, and they come stock with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue 105 Black Tour Issue S300 shafts and branded Lamkin grips.
Kith for TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 wedge

Kith for TaylorMade’s take on the Milled Grind 3 wedges (56 and 60 degrees) have Kith monogram laser-etching on the back, and they will sell for $150 per wedge.
Kith for TaylorMade Spider GT putter

The Kith for TaylorMade Spider GT has golden wings with gold accents, a stepless shaft, and a Kith-logoed SuperStroke grip. It will sell for $350.
Kith for TaylorMade TP Soto putter

The Kith for TaylorMade TP Soto has a gold-and-black colorway with golden weights and a Kith badge. The year “2011” is stamped on the back heel bumper to honor Kith’s founding year.

TaylorMade MySpider Tour and Tour X: More customizable build options now available
TaylorMade Golf’s MySpider program underwent a substantial overhaul over the last month. Firstly, the company launched the option to customize the Spider ZT model, and now the program has returned with the MySpider Tour and MySpider Tour X.
The revamped page now gives golfers complete control over every visual and functional detail of their putter on the popular Tour and Tour X head, with every cosmetic idea thought of. In MySpider Tour, golfers can choose from four head finishes, 16 paint fill colors, nine Surlyn face insert colors, three aluminum insert options, six sightline configurations, and four hosel options — L-neck, small slant, double bend, center shaft. Six sightline options are available in MySpider Tour, including the optically engineered True Path alignment system. MySpider Tour X gives builders the option of four head finishes, four hosel configurations, and five sightline options, also including True Path alignment.
One of the more interesting features of the new MySpider program is the availability of three distinct face insert options. Along with the usual Surlyn Pure Roll insert trusted by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, which can be customized from nine colors, golfers can now also select firmer options. Two are offered with the black aluminum Pure Roll insert, slightly firmer than the traditional insert, or for the firmest feel, golfers can choose from two colors of milled aluminum inserts.

Another fun addition to the MySpider Tour is the ability to use the “Tommy Sightline.” The custom alignment aid design, which was first drawn onto Tommy Fleetwood’s putter by PGA Tour Rep James Holley, is based on the milled sightline on his Spider ZT head. There are five shorter lines on the left and right of a longer central line serving as the traditional short line alignment aid.

Then and now: Comparing Rory McIlroy’s current setup to his record-breaking 2019 Canadian Open victory
In Rory McIlroy’s first appearance at the 2019 RBC Canadian Open, he crushed the record books to earn his 16th PGA Tour title in dominating fashion, winning by seven shots over Shane Lowry and Webb Simpson.
McIlroy’s score of 22-under-par 258 is the lowest 72-hole score to date at the Canadian Open, and his closing 61 is also the best final-round score in the history of one of golf’s oldest tournaments. Finally, with his win in 2019, McIlroy became only the sixth player to win the career Triple Crown, adding to his victories at the U.S. Open in 2011 and The Open Championship in 2014, joining Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Tiger Woods in a coveted list.
So, with that, why not compare his current setup to the clubs he used to break all the records?
Driver
2019: TaylorMade M5 (9 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX
2026: TaylorMade Qi4D (9 degrees @8), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7X (45 5/8 inches)

McIroy led the Tour in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee in 2019; he’s doing the same in 2026. Between now and then, McIlroy has switched from the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX (a shaft with slightly more feeling in the tip) to the original Fujikura Ventus Black 7X, having just made the change to the heavier version from playing the 60X.
What’s interesting about McIlroy’s 2019 setup is that the weighting on his driver is actually set in the high-draw setting, using the T-Track weighting system, whereas in the Qi4D, he’s currently using a heavily rear-weighted setup. (Two 13-gram weights in the rear and only two 4-gram front weights.)
The TaylorMade M5 driver he played in during his Canadian Open win was the company’s first head that they claimed to design to initially exceed the USGA’s COR limit, and then injected with tuning resin to bring it back in bounds.
Fairway woods
2019: TaylorMade M6 3-wood (15 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 80 TX; TaylorMade M5 5-wood (19 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 90 TX
2026: TaylorMade Qi4D 3-wood (15 degrees), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 8X; TaylorMade Qi4D 5-wood (18 degrees), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 9X

The TaylorMade M6 fairway wood that McIlroy was using during the 2019 season is still in the bag of some of the best golfers on Tour in 2026. Just check out Justin Rose’s winning setup from the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this year. This year, though, McIlroy has still been searching for his top-end-of-the-bag setup, having played both the new Qi4D and the Qi10, which he won the Masters with.

The same shaft swap can be seen in the fairway woods as the driver, along with slightly less loft on the 5-wood.
Irons
2019: TaylorMade P750 (4) Buy here, TaylorMade P730 (5-9), Shafts: Project X 7.0
2026: TaylorMade P760 (4), TaylorMade Rors Proto (5-9), Shafts: Project X 7.0

The biggest difference between McIlroy’s custom set and the stock P730s is the groove design. While the P730s were constructed with 14 MX-9 grooves on their milled faces, McIlroy’s proto heads instead use the higher-spinning, 16-groove layout of the TW2 grooves. Other big differences between the sets are that McIlroy’s 7- and 8-irons have thinner toplines, are 1 degree stronger in loft, and are 1/4 inch longer than the original P730 builds.
With McIlroy’s 4-iron, the switch from P750 to P760 sees a transition to a two-piece construction with Speed Foam in it, which allows McIlroy to launch the ball slightly higher, with more workability.
Wedges
2019: TaylorMade Milled Grind (48-09SB), TaylorMade MG Hi-Toe (52-09SB, 56-09SB, 60-LB09), Shafts: Project X Rifle 6.5
2026: TaylorMade MG5 (46-09SB, 50-09SB, 54-11SB, 60-08LB @61), Shafts: Project X 6.5 (46-54), Project X 6.5 Wedge (60)

Between 2019 and 2026, McIlroy’s focus on his short game has been much more apparent. It was the reason why he switched back to the TP5 golf ball, to help with launch, spin and control with his wedges leading up to his career Grand Slam victory in 2025. The most apparent changes to McIlroy’s wedge setup are his lofts and bounce. He’s slowly delofted his pitching to a sand wedge, but has increased the loft on the lob wedge, bending his current 60-degree to 61. With that, adding more loft to his lob wedge also slightly increases the bounce and leading-edge sit point, so, as a result, he plays a lower-bounce lob wedge compared to 2019. The MG5 wedges are also softer than the first Milled Grind option from 2019. McIlroy also no longer plays the full-face grooves found on the Hi-Toe.
Putter
2019: TaylorMade Spider X
2026: TaylorMade Spider Tour X

Notice anything similar. Yes, the copper finish on Rory McIlroy’s Spider X putter in 2019 is a slightly more reflective finish than the recently released torched PVD finish. McIlroy was using the True Path alignment system, but now uses only a single white sightline.
Ball
2019: 2019 TaylorMade TP5 (#22)
2026: 2025 TaylorMade TP5 (RORS)
As mentioned above, McIlroy had transitioned from the TP5 to TP5x golf ball since his victory in Canada in 2019, but now is black with the same style of golf ball as his victory at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.
Grips
2019: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord
2026: Golf Pride MCC
Interesting, McIlroy actually used Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet Cord grips during his victory in 2019 (it was during a 2+ year switch to the corded TV) as opposed to his usual MCC grips, which he has played for most of his career.

Plastering your “brand” name all over things is tacky. It may be what the sneaker crowd considers “fashion” but it is far from “style”.
