The Open and Reflo Unveil Capsule Collection Celebrating The Giants Who Came Before
LONDON, UK – The Open and sustainable performance wear brand Reflo have joined forces to launch an exclusive limited edition capsule collection ahead of The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush, celebrating the land, the legends, and the giants of golf who have walked before.
The Giant’s Capsule collection is inspired by the mythical Giant’s Causeway and the legend of Irish giant Finn McCool, blending ancient folklore with future-facing design. Just as The Open at Royal Portrush stands as a place where greatness is forged, this collection represents a tribute to ambition, performance, and the indelible legacy of The Open.
The campaign features Reflo ambassador, investor and England Men’s Football Captain Harry Kane, showcasing his support for performance wear that champions both athletic excellence and environmental responsibility. Crafted with Reflo’s signature recycled performance fabrics, the range includes a curated selection of bespoke Open branded polos, hoodies, midlayers and caps – each engineered for movement and designed to make a statement both on and off the course.
Supporting the release, Reflo will unveil a series of original content pieces filmed on location across the Northern Irish coastline, capturing the wild beauty and legendary atmosphere that inspired the collection. From the sweeping cliffs of Portrush to the mystical basalt stones of the Causeway, this campaign will immerse fans in the story of the land and the giants, past and present, who shape the game.
As with all Reflo products, each item is made using recycled materials, with tree planting and water-saving initiatives integrated into every sale. The result is a golfwear range that champions performance and planet, designed to be worn far beyond the course.
With just 500 of each item being made, fans are being encouraged to move fast. The Open x Reflo capsule will be available exclusively at The Open’s Official Merchandise Shop at Royal Portrush and online at TheOpen.com/shop & reflo.com from 17th June 2025.

COBRA Golf® Introduces New DS-ADAPT LS Long Drive Head
CARLSBAD, CA – COBRA Golf, a leader in golf club innovation, today introduced the DS-ADAPT LS Long Drive clubhead. Developed in collaboration with three-time World Long Drive Champion and Cobra staff member Kyle Berkshire, the new Long Drive head is aimed at aggressive players who swing with maximum speed and distance in mind.
Featuring six degrees of loft, the Long Drive version of the DS-ADAPT LS clubhead is the most aerodynamic head shape in the Cobra driver family, promoting the fastest possible swing speeds. The Long Drive model features the same 445cc club volume as the standard LS, but with a deeper face and more compact shape. Subtle shaping differences include a 2mm deeper face height and 3mm shorter profile from front to back. The deeper face increases flexion around the center and pushes the CG more forward to create more ball speed. The larger face area also gives long drive competitors like Kyle Berkshire the confidence to be able to swing at their maximum speed with more control.
The LS Long Drive head also features COBRA’s new game-changing FUTUREFIT33 ADJUSTABLE HOSEL SYSTEM, which is the most significant and innovative metalwood fitting technology to date. The system allows for 33 unique loft and lie settings that can be adjusted independently for the first time in a COBRA driver, unlocking an unprecedented number of fitting options.
The new DS-ADAPT LS Long Drive head ($649) comes as a clubhead only with headcover, wrench and two extra FutureFit33 hosel adaptors to allow for custom shaft selection.

Zinkand Golf Design Begins Second Phase of Master Plan Project at Wisconsin’s Big Foot Country Club
CHARLOTTE, NC – Zinkand Golf Design (ZGD) – led by golf course architect David Zinkand and his more than 25 years of experience designing, managing and shaping projects in the field – is beginning the second phase of its master plan project at Wisconsin’s Big Foot Country Club, a 1924 Tom Bendelow design.
ZGD’s master plan will enhance strategic interest and challenge for the skilled player, while introducing greater forgiveness for higher handicaps. This will be achieved by widening playing corridors, thoughtfully situating tees, and repositioning bunkers to better capitalize on the terrain and increase options for players of all skill levels. Most notably, rerouting holes 12 through 14 will refine the flow of the course’s routing and create a more adventurous and engaging playing experience.
The project also addresses key infrastructure needs by expanding pinnable green space and re-grassing all playing surfaces. And to improve aesthetics, a number of Norway spruce will be removed to reveal long views and beautiful mature oak trees. The master plan’s first phase, which focused on bunker renovation, was completed in Fall 2024.
The course’s front nine navigates through more gentle ground, though there are notable moments of drama – most prominently at the par-4 fifth, referred to as “Grand Canyon,” which lunges into a bold, natural valley. The back nine shifts southwest onto more intense terrain, climbing toward the property’s highest point, where holes 12 through 14 will be rerouted over scenic, rolling topography. For the finish, the routing turns back east and features dramatic par threes on the downhill 15th (named “Wind Trap”) and uphill 17th holes, and challenging par fours with the creekside 16th and 18th rippling back down to the clubhouse surrounds.
Located just off famed Geneva Lake about one hour southwest of Milwaukee and two hours northwest of Chicago, Big Foot Country Club opened in 1924. The club was named after Chief Big Foot and a set of ponds, sacred to the local Native Americans, which now sit below the clubhouse. It has hosted numerous United States Golf Association championship qualifiers and Wisconsin PGA championships.
