Coinciding with the kickoff of the first Major of the 2018 golf season, AHEAD is launching its new Jack Nicklaus Majors Collection. In partnership with the Nicklaus Companies, the new headwear features four caps created as a tribute to the game’s most decorated champion.
Available for purchase online, the collection’s cotton caps feature the iconic Golden Bear logo on the front and all are available in different styles and colors – Georgia green, marigold, black and tan. In addition to his six Masters’ titles, Nicklaus won five PGA Championships, four U.S. Open Championships and three Open Championships.
“AHEAD has had the distinction of being a partner with Mr. Nicklaus for more than 15 years and this new Collection represents another special moment in our relationship,” said Anne Broholm, CEO, AHEAD. “No pun intended, but a tip of the cap goes out to our friends with The Nicklaus Companies for initiating this idea. We are thrilled with the way the Collection looks, and we are confident the hats will be very popular, especially as the major season kicks off.”
AHEAD’s complete line of Nicklaus headwear, including the new Majors Collection, are available for purchase at the company’s online shop —https://aheadusashop.com/collections/jack-nicklaus.
As part of a social media promotion, AHEAD will give away a collection cap autographed by Nicklaus. To participate, follow @Aheadusa and @Nicklauscompanies on Instagram, tag three friends and comment with your best hashtag. The winner will be announced on Sunday, April 8, the same day a champion will be crowned at the 2018 Masters.
