Callaway Apparel,located at booth #6259, will showcase its latest collection designed to enhance on-course performance while elevating modern style. Additionally, the brand's momentum is further reinforced by the recent extension of the Callaway(R) Apparel license with Perry Ellis International. The extended license underscores the strength of the longstanding partnership between Perry Ellis International and Callaway Brands, reflecting sustained growth and a shared commitment to innovation as the golf apparel category continues its rapid global expansion. Attendees at the show will get an exclusive first look at Callaway Apparel's 2026 Summer / Fall Collection, which features cutting-edge fabric technologies and on-trend designs, bold patterns, and sustainable materials. The men's and women's collections feature the latest in innovative performance technologies highlighted by new layering and outerwear pieces that adapt to any climate and are designed with leisure and practicality in mind. "We're thrilled to return to the PGA Show and unveil our most advanced collection yet," said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International.

The PGA Show provides the perfect stage to reconnect with the golfing community and showcase how we continue to innovate." The latest collection from Callaway Apparel represents a sophisticated evolution in golf lifestyle wear, prioritizing performance fabrics, bespoke craftsmanship and innovation. By transitioning toward refined, natural-touch blends such as Modal, Tencel, and Lyocell, the brand has moved to deliver a more luxurious, soft-hand feel. Rounding out the collection are new tech-sweater polos and 1/4 zips that marry high-end viscose yarns with an EPA-approved antimicrobial finish, offering a seamless transition from peak on-course performance to refined post-game style. The Summer / Fall 2026 Weather Series collection is built on the core concept of protection of the body, blending structured, cozy textures to elevate both comfort and performance. The collection features a tiered layering system, beginning with lightweight, year-round essentials like the Double Knit Vest and the Aquapel-treated 1/4 zip. Attendees are invited to visit the Callaway Apparel booth to experience the new collections first hand.
