Callaway Releases New Apex Line of Utility and Hybrid Clubs

APEX UW

Tour-Proven Versatility, Combining the Playability of a Hybrid with the High-Launch of a

Fairway Wood
The Apex UW is designed for serious, avid golfers seeking the perfect blend of a fairway wood’s
power and a hybrid’s versatility. Engineered with Tour feedback and loaded with performance
technologies, it delivers a higher, more neutral ball flight with the control all players demand.

Features + Benefits

TUNGSTEN SPEED WAVE
A dynamic, 41g+ tungsten wave structure positions mass low and forward, enhancing ball
speed and launch—particularly on low-face strikes where players tend to lose distance.
STEP SOLE DESIGN
A redesigned sole with a stepped geometry reduces turf interaction, helping to maintain
swing speed through impact and promoting more consistent contact across different lies.
TRIAXIAL CARBON CROWN
The lightweight carbon construction allows for strategic weight redistribution, creating a
more forgiving clubhead while refining launch and spin for greater shot-making control.
TOUR-INSPIRED SHAPING
Designed with input from the world’s best, the compact, refined shape and neutral face
angle inspire confidence at address and deliver workability from tee to turf.

APEX UT

Built for better players who demand a precise, high-ball-speed alternative off the tee, the APEX
UT delivers control and speed in a sleek, utility iron profile.

Features + Benefits

FLEXCORE TECHNOLOGY
Our most advanced, multi-material construction ever in a utility iron, this flexible core design
promotes more face flexure and faster ball speeds across the face. FLEXCORE Technology
unlocks the face from the sole, allowing for more consistent distance even on off-center hits,
helping you attack every shot with confidence.
UTILITY Ai FACE DESIGN
Engineered specifically for utility irons, this Ai Face design focuses on superior distance control
and spin consistency. Provides advanced precision and responsiveness for shot-shaping and
trajectory control.
FORGED HOLLOW-BODY CONSTRUCTION
A multi-piece forged hollow body delivers solid impact feel and sound. Delivers a responsive,
solid feel with enhanced vibration dampening, providing the feedback elite players require
without compromising the forgiveness expected from a utility iron.

APEX Ti Super Hybrid

For players who struggle off the tee or can’t find consistency with fairway woods, the APEX
Ti SUPER HYBRID is purpose-built to deliver confidence, launch, and distance in a more
playable design.

Features + Benefits

Brazed Titanium Face
A high-strength titanium face is precision-brazed to the body for greater face flex and
energy transfer. Delivers fast ball speeds and consistent distance across the face,
especially for players who don’t always find the center.
Step Sole Design
A stepped sole geometry minimizes turf drag and maintains clubhead speed through
impact. Promotes cleaner contact and more reliable launch from a variety of lies—tee,
fairway, or rough.
REFINED SHAPING & SPECIFICATIONS
Compact yet confidence-inspiring profile with neutral weighting and slightly deeper face.
Helps frame the ball naturally at address while supporting a high-launch, controlled ball
flight.

Made for Every Step: Ecco Unveils Autumn/Winter 2025 Campaign Fronted by Golfer Lydia Ko

DENMARK, NL – Danish footwear and leather goods brand ECCO presents its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. For the accompanying campaign, ECCO announces record-breaking golfer Lydia Ko as the face, a meaningful evolution of her pre-existing role as an ECCO Golf ambassador.

Walking is at the heart of what ECCO does, with the brand on a mission to show that the simple act of a stroll with friends or a solo hike is about more than keeping fit – it’s about connection. Chiming with the ECCO’s ‘Made for Every Step’ mantra, Lydia is renowned for the poise she possesses both on and off the course. The embodiment of confidence, grace and quiet power, she has assuredly built up an impressive career and reputation by bringing resilience, focus and courage to every step of her journey. For Lydia, it’s not just about winning – it’s about moving forward.

Epitomising the versatility and authenticity at the core of ECCO, Lydia shows how the collection’s hero styles – like the sturdy but sleek ECCO METROPOLE OSLO loafer – can shift from on course to off. It’s an adaptability that resonates way beyond golfing. As Lydia proves, when you put comfort first, every step of the journey becomes a little easier.

“When I first tried ECCO, they were definitely the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn – which really matters when you’re on your feet all day. And now it’s really cool to see ECCO trying out new colours and styles. More and more I see people casually wearing ECCO, to the office, dinner, wherever. It’s really exciting to see the brand evolve while staying true to its traditional aspects.” – Lydia Ko.

Born in Seoul and raised in New Zealand, Lydia reached No. 1 in the world rankings at just 17, the youngest player ever to do so. No stranger to accolades, she is a multiple Olympic medallist (including Gold at the 2024 Games), a regular contender on the LPGA Tour, with over 20 professional wins – including multiple major championships – under her belt. A trailblazer for young women in sport, Lydia’s determination, strength and purpose are just as important as the trophies and medals.
