McLaren Golf: Why is an F1 team making $485 golf clubs and is it a risk for Justin Rose? - The Athletic

McLaren Golf formally launched its new line of golf clubs priced at $485, with 2013 U.S. Open champion Justin Rose becoming the first confirmed player to use them, debuting the irons at the PGA Tour's Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral. The launch coincides with the nearby 2026 F1 Miami Grand Prix, with McLaren leveraging its global profile to break into the competitive golf equipment market. Other potential brand ambassadors include LIV golfer Ian Poulter and 2014 U.S. Women's Open winner Michelle Wie West, while Rose, currently ranked No. 5 in the world at age 45, also joins as a partner and investor.
