TaylorMade Celebrates Pittsburgh Persimmon at U.S. Open with Heritage Collection
TaylorMade is turning back the clock to commemorate the U.S. Open at Oakmont, celebrating its rich history with a special Heritage Collection that pays tribute to one of its most revolutionary innovations: the Original One metal driver, affectionately known as the "Pittsburgh Persimmon." This iconic club, launched in 1979, marked a pivotal moment in golf equipment, forever changing the game. Its impact, along with the groundbreaking R7 Quad driver featuring adjustable weights, solidified TaylorMade's position as a leader in golf technology.
With the U.S. Open returning to Oakmont for its 125th edition, TaylorMade is releasing a limited-edition Heritage Collection. Golf enthusiasts can purchase the collection at taylormadegolf.com. Prominent TaylorMade athletes, including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Collin Morikawa, will showcase the collection during the tournament.
These TaylorMade staffers will be sporting distinctive, silver-colored golf bags. These special bags feature the classic "Original One" script, reminiscent of the original driver's sole, alongside the inscription "Pittsburgh Persimmon" on the shoulder strap. A front pocket proudly displays "Original One" framed by "19" and "79," while a patriotic design with stars and red, white, and blue accents completes the all-American theme. The base of the bag is adorned with years marking each U.S. Open held at the prestigious Oakmont course.
In addition to the staff bag, the Heritage Collection boasts U.S. Open-themed headcovers for drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and both blade and Spider-style mallet putters. These covers provide a stylish nod to TaylorMade's legacy while protecting your valuable clubs.
