Friday, 12 April 2024, Manchester, England: British apparel brand Stuburt is making its Masters debut this week as players from each of its LIV Golf teams tee off in Augusta. Former green jacket winners Charl Schwartzel of Stinger GC and Sergio Garcia of Fireballs GC are joined by Joaquin Niemann of Torque GC who is making his fifth Masters appearance. Each of them will be wearing garments from their bespoke Stuburt x LIV team ranges.
“Stuburt is back where it belongs,” comments Graeme Stevens Managing Director of Stuburt. “Our team has worked incredibly hard over the last 2 years to achieve this, and these players have been amazing to work with. As team captains, Sergio and Joaquin have been really hands on in the design process, picking patterns and materials that they love. I am delighted to see them teeing off in the first Major of the year in products we are all very proud of.”
On Thursday Sergio sported the Madrid, a traditional polo design to the front with the reverse carrying a debossed Fireballs wordmark and logo runs up the spine. Charl was wearing the Louis polo which has a fun repeat pattern that includes, amongst other things, the S logo, Stinger wordmark, a buggy, a golf bag, a teed-up ball, and a pin flag! Joaquin’s Thursday choice was the Lima polo which also carries an all over subtle, tonal repeat pattern that is made up of the Torque T, a golf buggy, a golf bag, crossed golf clubs, and a pin flag.
Sergio will be wearing a number of different Stuburt x Fireballs GC polo shirts throughout the week. On Friday he will wear the polo that bears his name. The Sergio is a technical piece that carries the now famous Fireballs logo as a tonal repeat pattern with an oversized contrast logo to the left chest. At the weekend the Seville will make its bold debut in the colours of the Spanish flag. This polyester/elastane mix polo has a plain body which is accented to the cuff and colour using the same pattern print as seen on the Sergio polo. And finally on Sunday Sergio will wear the familiar red of the Fireballs GC team.
This summer fans will be able to purchase their own Fireballs GC, Stinger GC and Torque GC Stuburt clothing from the Stuburt micro ranges.
