Jason Deegan on Antigua: Why this golf shirt is so comfortable
Senior contributor for Travelgolf.com and Worldgolf.com for The Golf Channel
My first true introduction to the wonders of Antigua Group Inc. golf shirts was a random one. I was drinking beer in a hospitality tent at the 2008 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills Country Club when a guy approached me. (The working press, right? It was after a practice round, mind you.)
"How do you like that shirt?" he asked.
I told him I loved how it felt but I hadn't paid much attention to why. He introduced himself as an Antigua rep for the region and proceeded to reveal the secrets of why my black PGA Championship logo shirt was so comfortable. Ever since, I've sought out Antigua clothing as one of the first I look for at pro shops. I know what I'm getting.
The Desert Dry and Desert Dry Xtra-Lite lines of shirts have been so popular over the past few years that the company hasn't messed with success. When the Desert Dry concept was first conceived, the focus was to sell the polos in warmer climates. But the lighter weight fabrics that are cooler on the body and wick faster than most material are also ideal in traditionally cooler climates, say steamy summertime in Michigan, Canada, East Coast and beyond. The light, almost airy fabrics don't restrict golf swings at all.
In testing shirts, I found Antigua to be cozy enough to wear to bed like PJs and sturdy enough to handle anything Mother Nature can dish out. The retail price is $60, a bargain for this kind of technology.
Watch for Antigua's lineup of pros -- including Billy Mayfair and Kevin Streelman on the PGA Tour; Brittany Lang, Stacy Prammanasudh and Wendy Ward on the LPGA Tour; and Tom Pernice, Jr. and J.L. Lewis on the Champions Tour -- showcasing the latest looks on TV. Antigua will also outfit all 12 U.S. players for the Solheim Cup in September in Ireland. You can't miss that eye-catching shaped 'A' embroidered on the sleeve. It's become a symbol of excellence.
