It’s that time of year. The weather warms, the azaleas bloom, the spectators flock to Georgia … and, of course, brands release their latest and greatest Augusta-inspired apparel, gear and accessories, all in anticipation—and celebration—of the first major of the season.
To make sense of all the drops and releases, we’ve rounded up a curated list of 12 items from brands big and small, old and new. With selections for men and women, including azalea-print polos and quarter-zips all the way to embroidered hats, head covers, shoes, and knitwear, you’re sure to find your newest obsession, a memento to wear while watching the game and summon the talent of the GOATs all season long.

The coastal-cool performance brand's Azalea collection includes elevated staples to celebrate the start of majors season for men and women.

The women-owned sportswear brand features a robust collection Augusta-inspired garb, affectionately dubbed the "Spectator Collection." Springy gingham performance skirts and tops, caddie-suit-inspired dresses, pink-and-green knitwear and headovers, and, of course, azalea prints as seen on this layering piece. For a cheeky favorite, see the luxe sustainable cotton sweater playfully reading "spectator," blazing along the front.
