From Simone Biles to Stephen Nedoroscik to Katie Ledecky, the U.S.’ Olympians have given us everything to live for since the games opened in Paris on Sunday, July 26. For those going for the gold in an outdoor event, the weather is another player the athletes have to compete with — and that’s especially true for golfers. To keep their eyes on the golf balls and not squint through sunbeams, these are the Uswing golf sunglasses trusted by the Olympians.

Golfers face a unique challenge when playing in sunny conditions that regular sunglasses don’t address. No one knows that better than Rose Zhang and C.T. Pan. Zhang is representing the U.S. at the 2024 Paris Olympics in golf, and Pan, who took home the bronze in the 2020 Toyko Games, is representing Chinese Taipei.

When every inch brings you closer to a medal, Uswing wants to help. Put through rigorous testing, when worn, there was an improvement in putting accuracy no matter if you were an amateur or a professional. It took creator Warren Fong almost a decade to perfect these golf sunglasses designed to improve one’s putting game.

What Uswing brings to the course

  • For the best sun blockage, wearers get 100% UV400 protection.
  • Up to 80% of blue rays are blocked, leaving more room for laser focus.
  • Lightweight at only 21 grams.
  • They repel water, so even the hard-earned sweat won’t throw off your putt.
  • The tint on them is grayish green, which is what pilots sport to stay clear in the skies.
  • Amateurs noticed an improvement of 1.31 inches when putting.
  • The pros averaged a .53-inch gain in their putting game.

Rose Zhang rocks rose-colored glasses

Rose Zhang isn’t new to Uswing golf sunglasses. She has been partnering with them for a while and has a favorite. Her signature look is a Rose Gold aviator style for $699 and has a limited release of 99 pairs. Each frame of the Rose (Zhang) Signature specs is stamped for authenticity and contains all the cutting-edge technology the brand is known for. You can thank Zhang’s dad for convincing her to try Uswing, as he kept nagging her to put on a pair to protect her eyes while on the course. Thanks to Zhang, 30% of the proceeds from her line will go to the Pacific Academy Foundation.

C.T. Pan’s signature series

C.T. Pan is also supporting a charity with his signature Uswing golf sunglasses. Each pair of the $659 shades will see a cash donation to the C.T. Pan Foundation. Pan’s Sunny Series comes in the option to grab black, gold, satin gold, or blue polish frames. 

If you don’t like the classic look of Pan or Zhang’s choices, browse the Pro or Overcast series to find your match. And because it’s never too early to swing a club, there is a Junior series for the younger golfer.

To see Uswing at work on the course and witness the 60 golfers teeing off to play 72 holes, watch the 2024 Paris Olympics. See who gets to find a medal at the last cup at Le Golf National, cheer on Zhang and Pan, and see those Uswing golf sunglasses in action during the biggest athletic competition the world competes in.

You can now wear hats designed by this iconic Brooklyn artist
Join Mr. Kaves in a New York mission of style

If you were a child of the 80s and 90s in New York City, you don't need any introduction to Mr. Kaves. If you aren't of that background, listen up. From the age of 12, Kaves hung from the sides of streetcars and spray painted some of the best street art the city had ever seen. He became a staple of the city that needed light, color, and inspiration during the turbulent times of those two decades. Taking that same creativity, he started a band, and then brought his art to museums, and now, you can wear some of his creativity yourself. With a new collaboration with American hat brand Bailey 1922, Kaves expands an already impressive storytelling resume.

“Coming up in Brooklyn, we didn’t have much, and the fedora style was seen as a ‘Crown’ on your head, and if you had one, you were street royalty. When I had my first taste of success, I bought a hat and a cigar, and I felt important and like I ‘made’ it," said Kaves. "People know Brooklyn’s a cool place, and it has become a brand. I’m going to teach you a little about how it became cool...the blood, the sweat, the tears. To me, Brooklyn rooftops are a religion, and the concrete is a cathedral.”

The Super Bowl, the World Series, and the NBA Finals are all top games to determine the best of the best. When it comes to golf, there is more than one chance for players to show off their swing. From prizes to prestige, professionals battle it out across four tournaments for a chance to cement their name in golf history. What are the 4 Majors in golf? If you can't get enough of the sport and want to watch the pros battle each other throughout the season, these are the tournaments to tune into.
The Masters

The Masters is the first big tournament for golfers of the year. Known as the U.S. Masters, the Masters Tournament, or simply, the Masters, this tournament started in 1934, and is played the first week of April every year. Unlike other tournaments that rotate where they are played, you will always watch the pros battle for the prize in Augusta, Georgia, at the Augusta National Golf Club, which had just opened one year before in 1933.
Going for the green
The iconic green jacket has been the coveted prize since 1949, though winners do have to give it back one year from their win. To get hyped about the event, the Championship Dinner was introduced in 1952, and is held exclusively for past winners and board members.
Prizes and past winners
Winning this tournament is a life-changing event. With $2o million in total prizes for the players for the 2024 event, the $3.6 million that goes to the winner would set anyone up for a life of good times. That's just for winning once. Jack Nicklaus won six Masters between 1963 and 1986, giving him top honors. Tiger Woods sits in a close second with five wins from 1997 and his comeback in 2019. Nicklaus was the oldest Masters winner in 1986 at 46, and Woods was the youngest in 1997, at 21 years old.
