In collaboration with the club, we aimed to capture the spirit of the great state of Kentucky horse racing, bourbon and championship golf. With that in mind as our inspiration for the design we got underway.

The state is perhaps most famous for the Kentucky Derby and its equestrian culture, so we wanted to make sure that spirit was alive in the design of the head. The opposing thoroughbreds on the sole are meant to recall past racing greats and the entry ways to some of the sprawling equestrian estates that dot the Kentucky landscape.

We developed a new finish specifically for this project and called it Kentucky Bourbon, an homage to the world-class bourbon and distilleries hailing from the state. And of course we have the incredible venue and the club itself Valhalla. The 2024 PGA Championship is the fourth time Valhalla has hosted the event, and the venue also played host to the stirring 2008 Ryder Cup.

But Valhalla will always be remembered for one of the greatest moments in PGA history the riveting 2000 playoff that gave birth to the famous chase and point putt on the first playoff hole.
