TaylorMade Collaborates With Oracle Red Bull Racing On Limited Edition Golf Collection
The “speed craft collection” will be released later this month and includes a special edition Stealth 2 Plus driver
Days after TaylorMade teased a collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing via a tantalising 20-second video released on social media, the partnership between the golf equipment manufacturer and Formula 1 2023 Constructers' Championship winner has been confirmed.
The two have combined to offer the limited-edition “speed craft collection” including custom TaylorMade products inspired by the F1 team’s RB19 car.
The collection includes a special edition Stealth 2 Plus driver in the F1 team's iconic dark navy and red colour scheme, an Oracle Red Bull Racing Spider GX putter, a custom TP5 PIX golf ball, a Tour Stand golf bag with towels, tees and head covers as well as apparel including hoodies, caps, bucket hats and t-shirts.
While a partnership between brands from two apparently unrelated sports may seem odd, a theme connecting the two is carbon, with Oracle Red Bull Racing’s RB19 car of a carbon construction, the same material used in the manufacture of TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus driver, which uses almost double the amount of the original Stealth driver.
TaylorMade president and CEO David Abeles cited another link between the two brands – the pursuit of excellence – as a key reason for the partnership. He said: “As two leading forces in our respective arenas, TaylorMade and Oracle Red Bull Racing share a common passion for pushing boundaries and pursuing excellence.
“Just as Oracle Red Bull Racing develops the ultimate vehicle for their drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, TaylorMade builds technology-driven golf equipment for our tour players and amateurs alike.”
Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner said: “We are excited to announce our partnership with TaylorMade and kick things off with the new collaboration: we have put our own unique stamp on the collection and merged elite sport performance and lifestyle.
