Tiger Woods has chosen Pebble Beach – the location of his stunning 15-shot victory on the US Open – for his first golf apparel pop-up shop.

Sun Day Red is a subsidiary of TaylorMade Golf and is presenting the TGR Jr. Invitational this weekend on the golf course. The brand launched in February when Woods traded in a Nike swoosh – from his former retail partner – for his recent logo, a stylized tiger. Online sales began on May 1st.

The Lodge Arcade carries polo shirts, pants, hats, gloves — even an umbrella for foggy days on the golf courses — in addition to casual clothing like hoodies.

Throughout his profession, Woods has worn red in tournament finals because his mother told him it was his power color. In the hands of marketers, nevertheless, the colour takes on recent meaning: “Today, Sunday red is more than just superstition. It is a symbol of Tiger’s relentless pursuit of excellence and a testament to his mental strength under the greatest pressure.”
