TaylorMade x Oracle Red Bull Racing Collaboration
TaylorMade Golf
Modern golf has embraced speed more and more as an important aspect of the game, and one that is paramount to success. Just like that extra yard or two can make all the difference on the golf course, a split second can make all the difference in Formula One racing. Now TaylorMade Golf and Oracle Red Bull Racing are collaborating on a wedge set, apparel and accessories for the golfer who loves speed and style.
On Tuesday, TaylorMade and Oracle Red Bull Racing announced a collaboration that brings the modern aesthetic of TaylorMade together with the style and precision of one of the world’s most popular Formula One teams – Oracle Red Bull Racing.
Starting in pole position is the star of this collaboration, the Milled Grind 5 wedges. TaylorMade is selling the wedges as a set, with 52, 56 and 60 degree wedges available. The set gives players the quality of the MG5 wedges from TaylorMade, but with a unique and stylish look. Each wedge has a racing blue base color, with the MG5 logo filled in red and white for contrast. Each wedge has different color rings around the ferrule to pay respect to different tire compounds of F1. The 52 degree has two white rings symbolizing the hard compound tires used on race cars. For the 56 degree, two yellow rings symbolize medium compound racing tires. In the 60 degree, two red rings symbolize soft compound racing tires. WIth a price tag of $750 for the set, these wedges come at a premium, just like the high performance cars of F1.
Besides the MG5 wedge set, the collab between TaylorMade and Red Bull Racing also offers apparel and accessories. On the accessories side, Tour Preferred gloves with a sleek design, inspired by driving gloves, that come with the Oracle Red Bull Racing logo on them are offered for $35. Ball markers inspired by F1 compound tire designs and towels are also available for $45 and $30 respectively.

If it is apparel you are looking for, there are multiple T-shirt and sweatshirt styles to fit your liking. The Final Lap Hoodie ($130) has a checkered flag logo on the front and a golf hole inspired race track design on the back. The Compound T-shirt ($60) again leans into the tire variety theme with a version of an F1 tire on the back and TaylorMade logo on the front.
Golf and Formula One are both thriving in recent years. This Taylormade Golf x Oracle Red Bull Racing collaboration leans into the trend in an attempt to marry the two sports together for the younger generation. For fans of speed, both on and off the golf course, this collaborative effort goes full throttle toward the crossover appeal of both sports.
