Puma and Rickie Fowler collaborate with Arnie’s Army to create 2020 Arnold Palmer limited collection
Puma Golf and Rickie Fowler have collaborated with Arnie’s Army to honor Arnold ‘The King’ Palmer at this week’s API with limited-edition gear inspired by his life.
Cobra Puma golf athlete, Rickie Fowler, will don the gear at this week’s event which includes a new API Cobra x Vessel Stand Bag, unique headwear and a pair of IGNITE PROADAPT Palmer shoes.
Puma will sell a limited number of the same custom gear Fowler will be wearing and other items online and at select retailers, with the proceeds benefiting the Arnold & Winnie Palmer foundation.
Here’s a rundown of the 2020 Puma Golf API limited-edition collection:
IGNITE PROADAPT Palmer Shoes: ($250)
Designed to provide stability, power, and comfort, the look of the new shoes are inspired by Arnold Palmer’s favorite plane to fly and come in a white colorway with blue accents and a silver form stripe.
The shoe features ‘N1AP’ (the tail number of Mr Palmer’s plane) on the medial side, with 6 “windows” on the lateral side representing the six windows on Arnie’s favorite plane – the first production Cessna 750 Citation X. The sockliner of the shoe contains Palmer’s signature and the Puma cat logo.
IGNITE NXT Arnie Camo Shoes: ($150)
The outsole, heel and collar lining of the shoe features a four-color camo design inspired by Arnie’s Army in the same colors that make up the iconic Umbrella logo. The sockliner of the shoe features Palmer’s signature and the Puma cat logo.
API CAMO P110 Snapback Cap: ($35)
Featuring the iconic umbrella logo layered on an embroidered P – the hat comes in five colorways (White/Arnie Camo, Light Blue/Arnie Camo, White/Pink Arnie Camo and Black/Arnie Camo, Grey/Purple Arnie Camo). The purple hat pays homage to international women’s day, which takes place during the 2020 API.
N1AP Rope 110 Cap: ($35)
Available in three colorways (Light Blue, Pink, White), the caps feature the tail number of Palmer’s plane in an all-over design and are constructed 100% from polyester.
Bay Hill/Latrobe City Caps: ($35)
Available in either a Bay Hill (white with Pink lettering and green accent) or Latrobe (White with Green Lettering and pink accent) the caps represent two places synonymous with ‘The King’s’ legacy.
API PUMA + Vessel Stand Bag: ($599)
The limited-edition Cobra x Vessel collaboration Tour Stand Bag comes in a white & green colorway. It features a unique Arnie Camo pattern (mimicking the NXT Arnie shoes) inspired by the colors from his umbrella logo.
The bag contains heavy-duty zippers, durable PU material and a single strap and, per the company, is 60% lighter than typical Tour Staff bags.
Along with 2020 Puma Golf API limited-edition collection which Fowler will don this week, the 31-year-old will also play a one-off TaylorMade TP5 Pix ball at Bay Hill which features Palmer’s umbrella logo.
Puma Golf will also be hosting a ‘trunk show’ onsite during the week showcasing key pieces from its first, co-branded Puma x Arnold Palmer collection of apparel, footwear and accessories designed to honor Arnold Palmer’s legacy.
The collection is designed to be a modern take on the classic styles Arnold Palmer wore during his career, with added details that tell the story of “A Life Well Played.”, and spectators at this year’s event will be able to pre-order the gear ahead of the official launch in June 2020.
Additionally, Puma has also partnered with the Arnold Palmer team to raise funds for the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation by creating the Ultimate Golf Package that will be included in a sweepstake and open to anyone who donates to support the Foundation.
A limited number of Puma API caps, shoes, stand and staff bags, personally autographed by Fowler, will be included in the grand prize and as smaller prizes for donations. Those entered in the sweepstake will also have a chance to win a trip to Bay Hill for a private tour and a round of golf for themselves plus a guest.

“Is it a Titleist?” – Jerry Seinfeld shares never-before-heard details of iconic scene
On Thursday, legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld joined the Rich Eisen Show and shared an awesome story from a “Seinfeld” episode titled “The Marine Biologist.”
In the episode, a golf ball goes into the blow hole of a whale. According to Seinfeld, that was never in the episode’s script.
Seinfeld recalls saying the night before the filming of the episode, “What if what puts the whale in distress is Kramer’s golf ball?”
“He’s hitting golf balls at the beach. George is at the beach with a girl, we haven’t connected them!”
“We write that speech the night before at two o’clock in the morning…The sea was angry that day my friend.”

Kramer finishes the iconic scene by asking “Is it a Titleist?” Seinfeld told Eisen the show sought Titleist’s permission to mention its name, saying the ball had to be a Titleist. Fortunately for lovers of the iconic show, the company agreed.
If (somehow) you’re unfamiliar with the scene, check it out below.

Phil Mickelson drops big retirement hint; Says LIV will grow the game ‘on a much more global basis’
While speaking with Bloomberg, golf legend Phil Mickelson acknowledged that he is inching close towards retirement.
“I’m 53 now,” Phil said, “and my career, you know, it’s — if I’m being truthful, it’s on — it’s — it’s — I’m a — it’s towards its end.”
Mickelson added that one of his focuses now is helping other young players.
“Now, I would like to help others find the same enjoyment and fulfillment that the game has provided me. I’d like them to experience that as well.”
The six-time major champion credited LIV with reaching new markets in golf to help it grow.
“I think that’s exciting for everyone involved in the game because we are going to reach markets that we didn’t reach before. I think it’s going to inspire more golf courses, inspire more manufacturers selling clubs and equipment, but also inspiring young kids to try to play golf professionally. I just see that the game of golf is going to grow on a much more global basis because of the excitement and the presence that LIV Golf has.”
Mickelson is playing at this week’s LIV Singapore and shot a first round 72 (+1).

Tiger explains why golf has ‘negative connotations’ for daughter Sam
While Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, has certainly inherited his father’s love for golf, his daughter, Sam, has not.
On Wednesday, Tiger made an appearance on The Today Show with Carson Daly and explained his daughter’s relationship with golf.
“Golf has negative connotations for her. When she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her. I had to pack, I had to leave, and I was gone for weeks. So, there were negative connotations to it.
“We developed our own relationship and our own rapport outside of golf. We do things that doesn’t involve golf. Meanwhile, my son and I, everything we do is golf related.”
The nine-minute interview touches on plenty of other subjects, such as Tiger’s relationship with his late father, Earl.
It’s arguably the most open we’ve seen the 15-time major champion in an interview and is most definitely worth watching.
