Masters Edition Irons Go Viral!

[Hypegolf] December 28, 2023 Weekly Digest 🌺 These Mizuno Masters Edition Irons Are Too Gorgeous to Hit TLDR: The internet was freaking out last Thursday morning about a set of special Masters edition Mizuno irons, and rightfully so. The 7-piece iron sets are exclusive to Japan and can only be bought online now through January 20. Why It Matters: Typically around this time of year equipment news is dominated by new-to-market clubs coming for the new year, but Mizuno Golf Japan shook things up and released the unquestionably coolest looking irons of 2023. The unique green chroma finish turns these from a nice set of irons aimed at Masters enthusiasts to what will almost certainly become a rare collector's item within the next few years. It's unclear how many units were sold, but it's safe to say those who got their hands on a set made a good investment.

Why It Matters: Although the game is evolving rapidly on the amateur level, the professional golfers with personality are still few and far in between. Min Woo Lee on the other hand is the type of player who knows he has the game to back up his reputation as golf's version of Carmy from "The Bear." "Let him cook" in Min Woo's case means let him make hitting the ball 330 yards look like light work. The young man from Perth is even bringing the mock neck polo back into fashion. What can't he do?

Especially those running and golf enthusiasts, of which there are more than you might think. The low profile shoe is updated with waterproof materials and a revised traction pattern for better footing on the golf course. Why It Matters: Nike produced a bevvy of Air Max 1 Golf shoes last year, a choice that was consistent with a strategy to convert sneakerheads into golfers. By contrast, the Pegasus isn't necessarily the first silhouette that comes to mind on the Air Max roster, which will make it all the more interesting to see how it's received by the golf community.

After the No Laying Up podcast captured the moment on their Twitter account, people proceeded to post the same screenshot to recall situations when you just can't remember that person's name. Why It Matters: Tiger's mannerisms and personality quirks have never changed, but social media has. It's honestly hard understand how Tiger hasn't ended up in more memes over the years, but it's about time he did. (Almost) anything that gets the wider public talking about golf is a win in our book.

Dressed head-to-toe in Off-White, Paris is consistently one of the easiest people to spot on the driving range. While a lot of the pieces she wears are one-of-one, the public may be able to join in the fun before long. Why It Matters: After taking a gap year to engage in off-course pursuits (like becoming creative director for LA Golf), Hilinski is back to focusing on competitive golf and already earned status on the Ladies European Tour for 2024. We're excited to see what kind of impact the young woman can have on the women's professional golf going forward.
