TaylorMade Teases Collaboration With Oracle Red Bull Racing
A 20-second video was released to X/Twitter, with TaylorMade and Oracle Red Bull Racing reportedly teaming up in a partnership
Despite being very different, golf and Formula 1 do share a lot of similarities. For one, they are, technically, both individual sports, as well as involving a high-level of skill to master.
It's no secret that a lot of current Formula 1 drivers also play the game, with the likes of Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Alex Albon and even Sir Lewis Hamilton picking up the clubs when they're not on the track.
Now, in an exciting bit of news, it seems that the worlds of golf and Formula 1 are set to collide, with a 20-second video being released on TaylorMade's social channels showing an upcoming collaboration with recent Formula 1 2023 Constructers' Championship winners, Oracle Red Bull Racing.

The video, which is captioned: "The journey fueled by determination, pushing the boundaries, and victory, has led us here," shows the Red Bull Formula 1 car, as well as a TaylorMade golf bag draped in the team's blue and red colors.
Currently, it is unclear as to what the collaboration will involve between the two, with details set to be announced over the coming weeks. However, if the video is anything to go by, it could be merchandise or Red Bull Racing accessories.
Searching the web, McLaren's Formula 1 team already produce an array of different golf gear for Formula 1 obsessed fans. For example, the company make umbrellas, drivers and putter headcovers with the team's logo.
If we needed any more evidence of golf and Formula 1 coming together, then look no further than golf's Netflix docuseries, Full Swing, which was created by the people behind the extremely successful Formula 1 hit, Drive To Survive.
