Golf merchandise spotlight: Original Penguin is almost 70 years old, but still cutting edge

The company focused on having fun while paying homage to traditional golf.

Original Penguin is a brand with a retro heritage lifestyle that has been around since 1955. The company focused on having fun while paying homage to traditional golf.

This year, the company was excited about its golf silhouettes and prints, with a hero print leading the collection. The brand has taken a more conservative approach to prints this year to fit in with current lifestyle trends.

As part of the PGA of America’s 2025 Merchandise Summit in Frisco, Texas, Pete Gibbons, the company’s director of sales, talked with Golfweek about the company’s newest lines.

Cameron Smith’s shirt at the 2024 U.S. Open is a periodic table of alcohol — and you can own it, too

This is too good from the Aussie.

Cameron Smith played solid golf during the first two rounds of the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. After scores of 71-72, the Aussie star was 3 over after 36 holes and comfortably made it to the weekend, eight shots behind solo-leader Ludvig Aberg.

Many liked Smith’s chances around the Donald Ross design due to its resemblance to many golf courses found in the Australia Sandbelt. On top of that, he made both weekends at the previous two major championships this year, highlighted by a T-6 finish at the Masters in April.

However, the best part of Smith’s week at Pinehurst might be the shirt he’s wearing during the third round.

The periodic table of alcohol. It’s just unreal.

Dressed for Success: Cam Smith at the 2022 British Open

Check out the Original Penguin apparel worn by Cameron Smith at the 2022 British Open.

The final round of the 150th Open Championship did not disappoint and nor did Cameron Smith.

The Aussie came from behind, carding a 64 on Sunday to win his first major championship. Just wait until you hear how he plans to spend his time with the Claret Jug.

Smith pocketed a cool $2.5M and looked great doing so, rocking his Original Penguin apparel.

Though they don’t get as much fanfare as some other apparel brands on the PGA Tour, Original Penguin, owned by Perry Ellis, has been making fun and unique golf shirts for more than 60 years.

“We congratulate Cameron for winning the 150th Open in a stirring come- from-behind record setting fashion,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, President and CEO of Perry Ellis International. “We are proud to have Cameron, with 10 career worldwide victories and a major, as an Original Penguin brand ambassador.”

We’ve already taken a deep dive inside Smith’s Winner’s Bag but now we get to open up the champion’s closet and see how Cam Smith dressed for success at the 2022 British Open.
