PING – Its most versatile and expressive women’s golf collection yet for Spring-Summer 2026

February 17, 2026 – Inspired by the simplicity of nature and the vibrancy of the tropics, PING has launched its women’s Spring-Summer 2026 apparel collection – a carefully curated range designed to offer more choice, more comfort and more personality than ever before.

With a focus on variety, this new collection embraces a broader approach to materials and styling with silhouettes created to flatter a wide range of body types and suit individual preferences. Whether you’re drawn to classic cuts, modern styling, or subtle detailing, the PING SS26 range delivers fresh options that feel as good as they look.

Technology is woven into every element of the collection, with every garment designed around PING’s advanced Sensor technology – engineered to deliver unrestricted movement and lasting comfort, helping golfers perform at their best in all conditions.

At the heart of the collection are five unique colour stories, each bringing their own unique look to the range. From Rich Heritage tones that deliver elevated classics to the bold brights of Fuchsia Foliage, the calming geometry of cool blues, and the lively spirit of Colourful Retreat, there’s a palette to match every personality. Colour is a key feature throughout, but it’s used thoughtfully – with prints used selectively to ensure they elevate without overwhelming.

Leading the collection in terms of visual impact, the Aeria and Penola polos bring the seasonal prints to life, each available across all five colour stories. Designed to stand out while remaining easy to wear, these visually striking styles offer a variety of outfit combinations, making it simple to mix, match and coordinate across the range while expressing individual style.

Embracing a more tactile, heritage-inspired look, the Viviana, Alicia and Eben polos all combine timeless comfort with modern design. Perfect for hotter conditions, the Evetta polo is constructed from an elegant lightweight mesh fabric with superior stetch.

The Ciara dress reflects what golfers are gravitating towards: simplicity with substance. Two of the three colourways feature clean, solid colours for a sleek, versatile look, while the third offers a soft, understated print – perfect for those who prefer subtle detail.

PING continues to listen and respond to the needs of women on the course. And in a first for the women’s range, SS26 introduces a hoodie – the Rhona – combining sporty practicality with everyday comfort for the perfect transitional layer.

Additional layering options are made easy in this new range, with the introduction of the Inga, a lightweight windproof jacket, and the Misha, a textured vest engineered for lightweight warmth and freedom of movement.

Adding to the versatility of the range, PING has introduced a variety of sleeve lengths across the polo offering, giving golfers more choice to find their preferred look whilst staying comfortable throughout the season. Whether it’s sleeveless or short sleeves for warm days, or longer sleeves for transitional weather, the collection is designed to move with you.

Meanwhile, in the bottoms category, PING has expanded it’s offering with more choice than ever before. The popular Vic trouser, skort and shorts are now available in two lengths – giving women the freedom to choose the fit and coverage that suits them best.

The new Harlie skort is offered in five options, each purposely designed to easily pair with a variety of polos for functional yet stylish outfitting.

With a refined focus on performance, elegance and ease, the SS26 collection invites female golfers to feel confident and comfortable, whatever their style of play. It’s a range that balances technical function with timeless design – crafted for women who want to express themselves while performing at their best.

PING – Unveiled the advanced insulation technology in the new AW25 Women’s Golf Collection

August 18, 2025 – PING’s Autumn/Winter 2025 women’s apparel collection continues to push the boundaries of golf innovation with new insulation technology designed to optimise performance in varying conditions.

The latest collection introduces Clo Insulation technology, designed to provide more breathable insulation, warmth and comfort, to some of the key pieces within the range. This innovative approach offers an incredibly soft, lightweight and stretchy feel, providing female golfers with superior thermal insulation that elevates flexibility and warmth.

The whole collection is focused on three colour stories, each offering golfer’s versatility and style to transition seamlessly from the course to everyday wear.

One item that benefits from Clo’s Vivo Extreme insulation is the hybrid jacket, Casey – the warmest jacket in the women’s collection. Designed for performance and comfort, this jacket combines exceptional warmth with a lightweight feel, featuring insulation across the front, back and sleeves. For enhanced mobility and comfort, stretch fleece panels feature on the side body, underarms and lower back, ensuring unrestricted movement during the swing.

The Clare fleece jacket combines performance and elegance in one versatile design. Featuring printed front panels, including sophisticated floral patterns, the Clare offers a refined aesthetic that truly sets it apart. Crafted with Clo’s Eco Pluma insulation, the jacket provides exceptional warmth and comfort across the upper front and back body panels. Its brushed-back fabric and stretch construction delivers enhanced comfort and freedom of movement.

An exciting new stand-out is the Samantha – a soft, lightweight reversible vest with Clo’s Eco Pluma insulation, offering a warm synthetic alternative to down. Available in three colours, this versatile vest features a printed design on one side and solid colour on the reverse, allowing for a magnitude of different looks. Hidden front pockets preserve its sleek clean lines, while the lightweight insulation ensures optimal warmth and comfort, making it the ideal layering piece for cooler conditions.

In addition to the Samantha, the Seren Vest offers an alternative vest option for those seeking a longer length garment and added flexibility. With stretch fleece panels on the sides, shoulders and lower back, the Seren allows for enhanced freedom of movement, catering to players looking for both performance and style.

Layering is key during the colder months, so PING has introduced the Jasmine, a versatile long sleeve printed top designed for year-round wear. This athletic, sportier looking garment is crafted with SensorCool technology, making it incredibly lightweight and breathable, ideal for both on and off the course and can be paired perfectly under the Samantha and Seren vests.

PING is also introducing two new sweater styles, Melodie and Lockett:

The Melodie Sweater is a lined half-zip crafted with SensorWarm® technology, ensuring protection against the cold. Featuring rib and cable detailing to the front and back armholes, this sweater combines style and functionality.

The Lockett Sweater is a sophisticated roll-neck design that can also be worn as a versatile layering piece. Lightweight yet warm, its simple design provides maximum comfort and warmth.

LIV Golf – PING announces sponsorship agreement with LIV Golf team Torque GC

April 24, 2025 – PING, the innovation-driven golf brand that pioneered club fitting and made the game easier for golfers around the world, has announced an agreement to sponsor LIV Golf’s Torque GC team, captained by long-time PING pro Joaquin Niemann. The sponsorship officially begins this week at LIV Golf Mexico City April 25-27.

The all-Latin American team is made up of Joaquin Niemann (Chile), Mito Pereira (Chile), Sebastian Muñoz(Colombia) and Carlos Ortiz (Mexico).

“All four of the Torque GC team members played PING equipment prior to turning professional and continue to do so today,” said PING CEO & President John K. Solheim.

“We’ve had strong relationships with each of them throughout their careers. They are great friends and tremendous competitors. We look forward to following their successes both as a team and individuals as they help increase PING’s awareness to golfers around the world.”

Niemann, the team captain and currently the #1 ranked player in the League, has notched four individual wins since joining the circuit in 2022, including two of the first four events this season. He also prevailed on the Asian Tour late last year at the Saudi International, claiming the title and the distinction of being the first to win with PING’s new G440 driver.

“My first set of PING clubs was one of their junior sets and I’ve had PING clubs in my bag ever since,” said Joaquin Niemann.

“They’re an engineering company that puts product performance above all else. The equipment and service their tour reps provide gives our team the confidence to go out and compete for the podium every week. Mito, Carlos, Sebastian and I are honored, and grateful PING has chosen to support Torque GC in such a meaningful way.”

Munoz, Ortiz and Pereira have also distinguished themselves as champions over the years, counting 25 global wins among them while relying on PING equipment. Torque GC has won four team events since being formed in 2023.

All four players will play with PING clubs, wear PING branded headwear and carry a PING staff bag.

PING – Get inspired for golf, with the new women’s Autumn-Winter range

September 19, 2024 – The new women’s Autumn-Winter 2024 range from PING reaches new heights, with interchanging garments complementing a host of different looks and fashionable outfits.

New innovative technology drives this expansive range of clothing, in addition to three new print stories that encompass timeless elegance: with comfort, playability and style at the core. The breadth of choice within the collection allows you to express your individuality by layering up in coordinated printed patterns or simply keep a sleek style in the new sporty silhouettes.

Terrazo is a textured print that incorporates a natural, warm autumnal palette for a selection of vogue outfits throughout the season. The Monogram print exudes classic luxury, with a unique and symbolic combination of the women’s PING logo for a repeated premium print. Finally, the Diffused Florals print includes an abstract design for a floral camo effect; a bolder option for those seeking a sophisticated, sporty look.

Milli, a new high-end waterproof, features a monogram embossed pattern and is constructed in a two-layer breathable fabric, designed in a flattering silhouette, to keep you dry and stylish out on the course. The jacket also has an easily adjustable hood which packs into the collar for ultimate protection during wet weather, combined with cosy brushed tricot lined areas to providecosiness on colder days.

An exciting new stand out style to keep you on-trend, even during testing winter conditions, is the Gem – a lightweight hybrid hooded jacket with wind and water resistance. The insulation in the front and back panels utilises PING’s SensorWarm technology for core warmth, while the stretch fabric throughout creates a complimentary fit. As an incredibly versatile jacket, it is a must for golfers; forming the perfect solution for an on-course thermal, or an off-course winter warmer.

Layering garments in this season’s range couldn’t be simpler, making it easier than ever to create fresh and modern outfits. The insulated and lightweight Flo vest, with its chic collarless design, easily slips under outerwear or over mid-layers for a coordinated look.

The Lolette, a printed long sleeve top engineered for moisture-moving comfort in all conditions, comes in three stylish colourways with a peached fabric for enhanced softness on the skin. Pair with the insulated reversible vest, Bryony, for full freedom of movement.

The Autumn-Winter season means sweater weather is in full swing. Step onto the course in one of PING’s new knitwear styles; the Jeanie roll neck has been designed to effortlessly complement the new insulated vests in the collection and with highlight colour details, it makes it super easy to style for the season. Crafted from a merino blend, this style provides next to the skin warmth and comfort, perfect for layering.

A lined sweater never goes out of style and this season, PING has two to choose from. The Elspeth is a hybrid knit, combining merino blend knitted details with an insulted quilted front body, for maximum comfort and style on the course. The Kaylah is a timeless fully lined sweater featuring a seamless deep neckline with direction ribs giving this a modern update for the season.

PING – Embrace every element with PING’s Autumn-Winter 2024 men’s collection

September 18, 2024 – PING has announced its line of Autumn-Winter apparel for the 2024 season – a range that features technology-driven waterproofs and seasonal garments that continue to showcase their passion for providing golfers with contemporary, built for purpose, apparel.

The Taran 3L Jacket leads the range for waterproof protection and is engineered for optimal playability in wet weather. Constructed in a three-layer stretch woven fabric, to provide superior waterproof (20,000mm) and breathability (20,000 g/m2), it embodies what a waterproof jacket should be: protective, breathable and built with the golfer in mind. Crafted from a single panel, the new innovative seam-free construction to the under arm allows greater overarm lift for complete freedom of movement. The inner layer features a unique fabric that creates a feeling of comfort next to the skin, and with a five-year warranty, you can swing with confidence.

Joining the range and representing an expansion of the technology already explored in PING’s previous Autumn-Winter ranges, is the Levan Graphene Jacket. The Graphene technology provides heat retention properties for enhanced thermoregulation in cold weather, with long-lasting comfort regardless of ever-changing conditions. It’s designed with timeless appeal and packed with technical features for peak performance on the golf course.

PING continues to redefine the future of insulated outerwear through their renowned Norse Series – a new line up of impressive garments all engineered with market leading PrimaLoft insulation that are perfectly suited to excel in winter conditions. Designed for the coldest days, the Norse S6 Jacket sees a notable reduction in the sleeve bulk to ensure you can swing freely and confidently on the course.

The Norse S6 Hooded Jacket is engineered for core warmth and wind resistance, thanks to stitch-free quilted PrimaLoft ThermoPlume to the front and back body. Its contemporary design also features an improved hood, for a modern fit and silhouette. With its multi-purpose protection and core insulation, this is the perfect trans-seasonal jacket to protect golfers throughout the seasons and varying on-course conditions.

The new collection features a breadth of colourways to suit every taste. From traditional blue and navy tones to fresh on-season colours like Mushroom and Russet, the options for a sleek outfit are endless.

For those looking for a winter garment that is warm, yet with a modern fit and design, PING has introduced three new fleeces to the range. As the perfect mid-layer option with a water-resistant finish, the Firth, Astle and Whister provide the perfect garments for those days where a waterproof is not quite required. Fitted with a cosy brushed back stretch fleece material, the offering of fleeces are exactly what are needed for a cooler day.

Finally, the range of knitwear continues to broaden with the addition of the Cranford hybrid knit sweater and Murphy, a fully lined zip sweater; both seamlessly presenting interchangeable on or off-course appeal. Both sweaters are crafted from Merino Wool, engineered for complete warmth and comfort.

PING – No-cost exchange programme offered for the driver G430 MAX 10K HL (High Launch)

June 27, 2024 – PING has announced a programme allowing owners of its G430 MAX 10K HL (High Launch)custom-built driver the option of exchanging it for the custom-built standard (“non-HL”) G430 MAX 10K at no cost. The offer is being made in the event any customers made a purchasing decision based upon the HL version having a combined MOI (moment of inertia) of 10,000 g-cm2.

“We realised some golfers may have concluded that the “HL” version of the G430 MAX 10K carried the same inertia values as the standard G430 MAX 10K,” said PING CEO & President John K. Solheim.

“Today, we’re clarifying that while the HL has an extremely high MOI and delivers the forgiveness and distance PING drivers are famous for, it doesn’t reach the combined 10K MOI threshold due to a lighter backweight which optimises the fitting for slower swing speed players. For golfers who may have purchased the G430 MAX 10K HL with the expectation that it reached the 10K combined MOI, we’re offering them the opportunity to exchange their driver for the custom-built standard G430 MAX 10K at no cost.”

The “HL” (high launch) build combines a lighter backweight (silver in color and marked High Launch), shaft and grip to create a custom build aimed at slower swing speed golfers who can expect to swing faster with the lighter overall system, adding more speed to launch their shots higher and farther.

“We believe the vast majority of G430 MAX 10K HL owners are extremely satisfied with the performance of their drivers and we want to assure them their decision to put it in their bags was a good one,” said Solheim.

“It’s important we stand behind our products in this way. If they purchased their driver based upon a misunderstanding of the club’s combined MOI value, we want to do the right thing and exceed their expectations.”

Golfers can exchange their G430 MAX 10K HL driver for a standard G430 MAX 10K with PING’s ALTA CB Black or no-upcharge aftermarket shafts in either 9°, 10.5° or 12°. Additional details about the programme for G430 MAX 10K HL owners interested in the exchange will be available on July 10, 2024 on ping.com.

Irons, Ping

PING – New blade-style i530 iron delivers distance with stopping power

March 7, 2024 – Focusing on the needs of golfers in search of more distance who prefer the look of a blade, PINGintroduced the i530 today, a premium iron model engineered to deliver higher ball speeds with precision for score-lowering performance.

The i530 irons are available for custom fittings and pre-order at authorised PING golf shops around the world beginning today.

“The continued popularity of distance irons has been an interesting and fun challenge for our engineers, especially in the players category where there is such an emphasis on the look of the iron,” said John K. Solheim, PING CEO & President.

“In the case of the i530 iron, we’ve developed a stunning design that delivers significant distance gains through its innovative face technology along with the added benefit of control. We refer to it as a ‘playable distance’ iron. It appeals to the golfer whose primary goal is more distance who also relies on the precision of a players-style iron. That means longer irons shots with the consistency and predictability to stop the ball closer to the hole.”

PLAYERS DISTANCE, PLAYERS CONTROL

Distance gains come from multiple sources, including an internal weight pad that provides a deeper and thinner face-to-sole transition, ensuring more face flexing and pushing mass down to lower the centre of gravity for more ball speed. The forged, highly flexible maraging steel C300 face is precisely welded to a 17-4 stainless steel hollow body. A polymer applied inside the head on the back of the face improves feel and sound while maximising face bending.

The body design contributes to distance by accentuating face bending. The lower CG is more aligned with where impact occurs, and distance-optimised lofts help ensure more distance and higher max height for green-holding results. Three loft configurations (Standard, Power, and Retro) are available to optimise a golfer’s launch conditions during the custom fitting process.

PREMIUM LOOK, PREMIUM PERFORMANCE

Blade enthusiasts will appreciate the thin top line, narrow sole and shallow face height. The i530’s clean, premium look features a new machining technique that thins the back wall of the hollow-body design, saving weight to increase forgiveness and tighten dispersion for greater accuracy along with the added distance. Precision-milled MicroMax grooves combine with the hydropearl chrome 2.0 finish to ensure consistent launch and spin from all conditions.

“We’re seeing significant distance gains with the i530 iron mainly due to its higher face flexing and bending,” said John K. Solheim.

“It’s a great fit for the golfer whose top priority is more distance, including someone who may have lost yards with their current irons over time. It also has a level of forgiveness not typically found in distance irons. It’s packed with performance. It looks great, feels great and more importantly, will lead to lower scores and more enjoyment on the course.”
