Virtual PGA Show 2021
6 emerging golf brands that caught our eye at the Virtual PGA Show
For more than 65 years, the PGA Merchandise Show has been where the golf industry has showcased what’s new, exciting and innovative. From equipment to apparel, training aids to fitness products, the annual gathering often offers a first look at what will be trending in the coming year. Ordinarily held in the cavernous Orlando County Convention Center in Florida, the show moved online for the first time in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with buyers and vendors participating in a virtual experience and marketplace. We walked the virtual show floor to find these emerging golf apparel brands that are ready to make a splash this year.

Nevermindall
Premium Italian fabrics and out-of-the-box designs are what make this new golf apparel brand stick out. Great for those looking to push the style boundaries on the course, Nevermindall’s fashion-forward menswear includes thoughtfully designed layering pieces, bold tops and versatile golf pants.
Mondrian Line Block Two in One Top & Bottom Set
On the women’s side, Nevermindall has runway-inspired golf pieces to suit any look and climate. The cold weather collection includes sweaters and jackets that are anything but drab, and for when the temperatures rise, we can’t get enough of this sleeveless top and skirt set.
