Major championships are when golf equipment manufacturers get the chance to show off their creativity with custom staff bags, headcovers, and accessories. Each year, the gear created for golf’s biggest events draws inspiration from the host course, local culture, or the history of the championship venue. In 2026, the U.S. Open heads to the historic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York, one of the most iconic and challenging venues in championship golf. As you would expect, many of the custom designs pay tribute to the club’s rich heritage, the coastal setting of Long Island, and the unique character that has made Shinnecock Hills a favorite stop for the U.S. Open.
Here are some of the standout pieces of custom gear we’ve come across for the U.S. Open.
Scotty Cameron
As the national golf championship heads to Long Island, Scotty Cameron is leaning into the coastal theme with a fun, patriotic-themed headcover release. The design features sailboats over an Atlantic blue base with a Dog Wave pattern. Nautical pennants and little details like seersucker piping, signal flags, a captain’s wheel, and map accents keep it feeling like a Hamptons yacht club. A light nod to summertime sailing on the water and on the course.
Callaway
Nautical colors and seaside details are featured throughout, reflecting the club’s location on Long Island and its connection to the Atlantic Ocean. Other subtle touches include the coordinates 40.8940-72.4397, marking the location of Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Premium materials, detailed embroidery, and custom accents complete a design that celebrates both the history of the club and the character of the surrounding area.
TaylorMade
For the third major of the year, TaylorMade’s Sailor’s Point Collection draws inspiration from the maritime history of the Northeast coast. The standout piece is the staff bag, featuring navy and white sailor stripes, a detailed crab graphic, and a lighthouse-inspired handle as a nod to nearby Montauk Point. One of the cooler details can be found on the side panels, where colorful nautical signal flags are used to spell out T-A-Y-L-O-R-M-A-D-E.
Cobra
The inspiration for the design centers around one of America’s most recognizable landmarks, the Statue of Liberty. Standing watch over New York Harbor for more than a century, Lady Liberty serves as the focal point of the bag and is featured throughout the design with nods to her iconic oxidized copper appearance. Additional textures and subtle details are incorporated throughout, creating a design that celebrates both New York’s history and the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Srixon
Just in time for major championship season, Srixon has unveiled its new All-American Collection. The limited-edition lineup features patriotic red, white, and blue styling across headcovers, towels, hats, and golf bags, along with a special set of ZXi7/ZXi5 combo irons. Designed to celebrate summer golf in America, the collection combines Srixon’s premium performance with plenty of stars-and-stripes flair.
Bettinardi
New York is well known for baseball, and the Yankees are the most popular team in the sport. Bettinardi went with that inspiration in order to create a very fun logo that blends golf into the look. A red, white, and blue cover contains a pinstripe hexagon with a putter and Bettinardi’s wizard hat embroidered onto the top.
L.A.B. Golf
A stroll along the windswept fairways of Long Island sounds pretty relaxing unless you’re trying to survive U.S. Open week. This limited edition headcover celebrates the 126th playing of our national championship, with plenty of nods to the host venue and of course, the L.A.B. Rat! LAB has quietly made some really creative and fun covers for this year’s major championships.
Bridgestone
To celebrate 250 years of American history, Bridgestone Golf has unveiled its USA 250 Capsule just in time for U.S. Open week. The limited-edition release combines patriotic styling with the company’s Tour-proven golf ball technology, creating a commemorative package inspired by both American heritage and one of golf’s biggest championships.
