Tiger Woods makes announcement ahead of PGA Championship

Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red has today dropped a new Carolina Collection ahead of golf's second major of the season at the PGA Championship. 

Although Woods isn't teeing it up at Quail Hollow Club, his clothing brand will be represented at the PGA by new staff ambassador and rising PGA Tour star Karl Vilips, 23, who recently picked up his first title on the circuit at the Puerto Rico Open. 

Vilips recently revealed to GolfMagic what Woods said to him via text after he won his first PGA Tour title. 

Sun Day Red's new Carolina Collection has been engineered with Woods' championship experience as a 15-time major winner, and the new line has been built for the shifting conditions of spring. 

Woods, 49, has won the PGA Championship four times (1999, 2000, 2006 and 2007). 

Vilips, who joined Woods' Sun Day Red brand earlier this season, will be scripted in some key pieces from the new Carolina Collection when he makes his PGA debut at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. 

The 2005 PGA Championship will mark the Australian's second career major start having missed the cut at the 2024 U.S. Open. 

Woods, who established Sun Day Red in February 2024 after 27 successful years representing Nike, is currently recovering from surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. 

The golf legend is expected to be out of competitive action until early 2026.

By then he will have turned 50 and be eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions. 

The Carolina Collection by Sun Day Red and Tiger Woods is available on the company's website now.

Polo shirts are available from $115, with trousers from $165.

Inspired by the pristine landscape and prestigious championship heritage of the Carolinas, Sun Day Red's latest collection captures the essence of spring's major challenge through a refined palette of cool blues, soft mint, and crisp whites. 

Each premium piece has been crafted to honor the rich tradition and testing conditions of one of golf's most demanding tournaments, where precision and performance under pressure define champions.

"The Carolina Collection represents our celebration of a region with deep golfing heritage and a tournament that truly tests every aspect of a player's game," said Caje Moye, Sun Day Red's Senior Creative Director. 

"We've created pieces that reflect Charlotte's quintessential southern charm—pristine whites, refreshing blues, and soft mint tones—while maintaining our commitment to technical excellence and performance in varied conditions."

Each garment in the Carolina Collection has been designed with insights from Woods' experience competing at the highest level in this challenging environment. 

The collection will be prominently featured at the PGA Championship, with Vilips scripted in key pieces throughout tournament week. 

The collection features premium polos engineered for variable spring conditions, that have been scripted with performance layers that adapt throughout the day, and technically advanced bottoms that provide comfort from morning dew to afternoon heat.

The Carolina Collection is complemented by a range of premium golf accessories developed in partnership with Vessel. 

These limited items draft off the collection's color palette and include tour-grade synthetic leather bags, headcovers, and accessories crafted with the same attention to detail and performance standards as the apparel.

Each piece has been designed to provide both functional excellence and refined aesthetics that reflect the collection's southern heritage.

Crafted to perform when stakes are highest, every piece combines sophisticated design with performance features that respond to the demands of championship golf. 

From moisture-wicking fabrics that keep you comfortable through changing conditions to construction details that eliminate distractions at crucial moments, the Carolina Collection embodies Sun Day Red's commitment to helping golfers perform at their best when it matters most.
