McLaren Golf has not officially startedbut has the first ambassador of the tournament.
On Monday, the car company and Formula 1’s new golf venture was unveiled World No. 5, Justin Rose as the Tour’s first employee and investor. Rose will debut the clubs along with the McLaren papaya staff bag and logo badge on his chest at the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship this week.
Rose will put new clubs in play amid a resurgent stretch of his career. The 45-year-old former world No. 1 has won twice on the PGA Tour since August and finished in top-3 in the last two Masters. He leads the PGA Tour in greens in regulation this season and ranks seventh in Strokes Gained: Approach.
“From the beginning, this has been a passion project,” Rose said in a release. “I’ve had the opportunity to be involved from the start – working with the team, testing the clubs and helping to shape what they’ve become. That level of involvement, combined with the standards McLaren brings to everything they do, made this an easy decision for me. I’m excited to put the clubs into play and watch the brand flourish.”
Part of what drew Rose to partner with the new brand was a long relationship with Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing. Rose also regularly plays golf with Lando Norris, the McLaren Mastercard F1 driver and reigning world champion.
Rose is expected to play this week at Trump Doral with a set of McLaren 5-P Series 1 irons with a Series 3 4-iron.
The official launch of the McLaren brand is set for Wednesday, April 29, at the Cadillac Championship and is running concurrently with the Miami Formula 1 Championship.
