The Open Championship marks the end of major championship golf in 2024. After the final putt drops on Sunday afternoon, golf fans will have to wait until the Masters to see all of the best players in the world on the same stage.
It also means we’ll also have to wait 9 months to catch a glimpse at the next batch of major championship-themed accessories from equipment manufacturers.
Hoping to go out with a bang, Ping released a special set of 2024 Open Championship covers that, funny enough, have nothing to do with Royal Troon or the oldest major championship. But they still deliver — pun most definitely intended — in a big way.
In a nod to the Royal Mail — the UK’s version of the United States Postal Service — Ping created blade and mallet putter covers around the mail service’s colors with the words “1st Class” stitched on the side. The “torch-red polyurethane” exterior is exceptionally bright, making it downright impossible to lose sight of the cover on the putting green.
A fur-like interior was added to guard scratches and provide 1st class protection. Again, pun most definitely intended. A magnetic closure ensures the cover will stay on your flatstick until you’re ready to hole the next 10-footer.
Ping’s PLD Limited 1st Class covers (blade and mallet) retail for $125 — limit 3 per customer — and can be purchased through Ping’s official website.
