PGA Show Reveals New Golf Products for 2026
Each January, the golf industry convenes in Florida for the prestigious PGA Show, an annual event where over a thousand exhibitors unveil the latest golf equipment and innovations.
Of course, for 2026, there was a hefty emphasis on technology dominating the show, with new launch monitors, GPS devices, and yes, AI-driven coaching tools, advanced simulators, performance analytics, and tech-integrated equipment. Many exhibitors showed off how tech is changing golf to make it more fun and help players improve.
Then there’ s always some standout and even goofy products catching the attention of attendees. We discovered a few products featured here that were standouts, which we thought were cool.
Marucci Sports Unveils its New Lizard Skin Golf Glove
Marucci Sports, a leading baseball equipment manufacturer, has expanded its product line to include golf gloves. Its newest innovative Lizard Skin golf glove grip will soon captivate golfers.
The Lizard Skin material has more friction than leather, offering a better grip and grip pressure. The new golf glove features extra gripping material in seven key areas of the glove’ s palm: three locations along the palm, along the top of the thumb, and at the base of three fingers. The added material is so thin, it’ s barely noticeable to most golfers. Increasing grip pressure in these key areas of the glove mimics tour pros’ grip patterns. Studies have shown that increasing grip pressure can reduce dispersion by up to 36 % and increase ball speed slightly. Ultimately, a better grip and grip pressure can elevate a player’ s game.
The new Marucci Sports Lizard Skin Golf Glove is expected to be for sale early this summer, but to date, no official release date has been set. Meanwhile, Marucci Sports offers its quality Cabretta sheepskin leather Linx Golf Glove for $ 29.99, available in black or gold trim, with extra gripping material on the lower palm area where golfers tend to wear holes in their gloves. Given Marucci’ s focus on selling baseball equipment, it’ s hard to find the golf gloves on its website, so search“ Linx Golf Glove” at www. maruccisports. com, which will help.
