There is no denying that as I have gotten older, I have become more and more of a golf apparel nerd. Not only in terms of styles and materials, but the different collaborations which various brands have engaged in. However, for me personally, there is one which I herald among the most anticipated and exciting every single year, that is of course the PUMA Golf x Arnold Palmer collection.
No one in the game has ever personified class and legendary styling like The King, so seeing what comes from this combo each year is of the upmost excitement for a lot of golfers. The time is now for the new 2024 Spring/Summer catalog, and THP has the scoop.
2024 PUMA Golf x Arnold Palmer Collection
When PUMA first announced several years ago that they would be shepherding the Arnold Palmer name in style and apparel into the future, there was a bit of surprise for many, including myself. At first glance, it just didn’t seem to mesh with where PUMA Golf had been coming from, but to this point they have absolutely nailed it time and again.
As it turns out, this is a collaboration which PUMA Golf takes very seriously. When taking on the namesake of the man revered as THE King in golf the focus is creating what the brand calls a “fashion forward” look that takes from the eras of Arnie to blend classic colors and sophistication with modern methods. For 2024, the AP Collection is growing to include seven polos, one full-zip jacket, pleated shorts, three hats, one visor, and four limited-edition shoes.
Front and center will be the legendary Umbrella logo which to this day brings immediate recognition of Mr. Palmer regardless of age or level of attention given to this crazy game we love. There is an emphasis again on bringing the subtle pastel pinks, blues, and greens to the forefront while working them with fun patterns and bold, rich, navy blues.
There is also a much heavier emphasis on footwear with four different limited edition options this time around. For the spiked users there is the Phantomcat which brings cleanliness and mixes it with all the colors and symbols which we relate to The King. The other three are spikeless offerings with the Fusion Classic and Slipstream G, blending on and off course functionality with modern sneaker fashion, while the new Avant may be the most Arnold Palmer looking shoe ever with the old school off-white styling meeting new school spikeless capabilities.
Polos: AP Jaquard Stripe, AP Floral, AP Floral Trim, AP Iced Tea, AP MATTR Traditions, AP Checkered, AP Geo Polos ($90)
Layering: AP Zip Jacket ($150)
Shorts: AP Pleated Shorts ($90)
Hats: Palmer P Cap, AP Floral Tech Cap, AP Iced Tea Cap, AP High Crown Visor ($40)
Shoes: AP Avant ($170), AP Fusion Classic ($120), AP Phantomcat Nitro ($190), AP Slipstream G ($150)
Going forward as we work toward Bay Hill and the Arnold Palmer Invitational you can expect to see much of this collection worn by Puma staffers across the Tour, with Rickie Fowler specifically front and center. The new line will be available today on www.pumagolf.com
Such a fan of this and these in general. I’m not a big rope hat guy, but wow that hat looks awesome.
The pink floral shirt looks stunning as well.
That AP collection is awesome ?
I really like some of those polos
I’m going to buy many pieces of this collection today.
the collection that usually hits. Nice.
Some clean offerings.
These are cool too.

I saw all those shirts that have a different collar than main body and thought of you from the hat bill / body conversation a few months back.
All of that stuff looks so sharp.
This collection is fantastic year after year. Love the AP stuff.
really digging the lean into the floral on this one.
Puma bringing back the pleated shorts with this lineup. Interesting.
Dig a couple of the shirts, the floral pattern and Iced Tea.
Zip me up in the jacket, please!!
Some clean items in this year’s collection.
I don’t think the AP collection will ever get beat.

Going to hit PGASS at lunch, hoping to see them in the wild.
I love this line but this years version has way more misses than hits for me.
I love the graphic on the hat but not as a rope hat.
Yup, things are live, and I’m about to go crazy.
GREAT collection once again.
I could own every single polo with no hesitation
The Avant shoes are a nice touch IMO. I don’t love the off white color though.
I like this line a lot. Plenty of variety that is not all plain or all wild. The floral pattern accents on the collars are a strong consideration.

Those look amazing!
Such a great collection. Really love the navy polo with the floral trim.
What do you guys think of the photos showing half Arnie half Rickie? Cool or odd?
Love the pink

I didn’t catch that, thought it was a traditional and modern Arnie.
I’m okay with it. Kind of a visual marriage of traditional and new, though I am not exactly sure Rickie has the stature to pair with Arnie.

Yep the comeback of pleated shorts/pants.
Just keep old clothes and the style will come back around.
Aside, I do love the AP collection and will end up with a few items. Like the cap, but hard for me to get over the rope style.
Saw the Avant Palmer shoes yesterday and was very close to getting them but I liked the look of the gray wingtips a little bit more so I went that way.

It makes sense for a Palmer based release to have pleats. Doesn’t mean they’re coming back over all lines.

It’s coming good bad or indifferent.
It’s exactly why I never get rid of clothes, the style will be back in.

Was one of the first things I noticed, I thought they had done some modernizing of the photo and put what Mr. Palmer would look like rocking that now, then noticed Rickie’s face. Thought it was pretty damn cool!
Love the collection- those polos are phenomenal!

Comparing anything Arnie to Malbon is borderline criminal. ?
Love this collection each and every year.

Of all the photos in the article, it’s what caught my attention the most, so I guess it achieved it’s goal probably, at least with me.

Fair statement!
Love this collection more and more every year.
The shoes look phenomenal.
Not sure about the contrasting collar. If it’s the same material as the shirt just a different pattern, I don’t mind it so much. If it’s knit, it’s a nonstarter for me.
The Phantomcat look fantastic. The Avant is pretty sharp, too.

Loved it!
The colors are just fantastic every year. The blue and the pink are probably my favorite shades of colors used on clothing. Homerun again
I already have so many floral print polos, but it looks like I’m going to have to buy another…
