All things golf – preparing for the PGA Show and showcasing Bunker Mentality

With the PGA Show just over a week away, the Polygiene team is busy preparing for one of the calendar’s biggest trade events. In honor of this three-day sporting (and business) festival, we thought we’d dedicate the January blog to all things golf. In it, we preview the PGA Show, break down the golf-specific benefits of Polygiene technology, and profile our golfing apparel partner, Bunker Mentality.

PREPARING FOR THE PGA SHOW

Taking place from 20-23 January, the PGA Show is the world’s largest golf gathering, and a unique opportunity to explore and discuss the future of the sport. The trade-only event is expected to attract more than 1,000 exhibitors and build on the 33,000 attendees who made the journey to Orlando, Florida, for the 2025 edition.

Featuring everything from the latest training aids to club and course management software, the PGA Show is where the industry unveils the next generation of golfing technology. So the Polygiene team is more than excited to showcase our groundbreaking Freshness technologies on the event floor.

Our team will be meeting with existing and prospective partners across all three days, and you can find us at booth #11004.

CHOOSE POLYGIENE FOR PERFECT ROUND

Polygiene technologies are ideally suited to life on the course and in the clubhouse, helping to enhance comfort, confidence, and convenience among enthusiasts and professionals alike. Whether you’re looking to keep cool when the pressure is on or make sure you’re odor-free when you hit the clubhouse for the post-round review, Polygiene Freshness technology is the solution.

Polygiene odor-control

For advanced odor control, Polygiene® StayFresh and Polygiene® OdorCrunch are your go-to solutions. While Polygiene StayFresh tackles the root cause of many unpleasant odors by preventing bacterial growth, Polygiene OdorCrunch eliminates environmental odors by capturing and crunching the smelly molecules responsible. 

By choosing apparel that features Polygiene odor control technologies, users ensure their clothes stay fresher for longer. That means no distracting smells on the fairways. Complete comfort and confidence when you hit the clubhouse. And the ability to wear items multiple times before they need washing.

Polygiene cooling technology

Polygiene® StayCool is the latest addition to our Freshness portfolio. As well as improving moisture-wicking capabilities, Polygiene StayCool features a unique moisture-activated, thermo-reactive polymer matrix that instantly reduces fabric temperature by 2-3°C (4.3-5.4°F). The result? A long-lasting cooling effect that keeps you feeling light, dry, and comfortable throughout the day.

With more scientific research making the connection between temperature regulation and sporting performance, Polygiene StayCool technology is becoming an increasingly popular addition to activewear. Cooler temperatures mean enhanced focus, improved physiological responses, and a more comfortable feel. In a sport as famously unforgiving as golf, clothing and equipment play a crucial role in ensuring golfers perform to their best. Polygiene StayCool helps them do just that.

SHOWCASING BUNKER MENTALITY

To demonstrate the power of Polygiene technology, we wanted to highlight one of our most innovative partners, Bunker Mentality. A golf apparel brand based in the UK, Bunker Mentality designs and manufactures stylish performance clothing that’s optimised for the course. Its excellent Custom Fit Polos feature Polygiene StayFresh technology to keep odors at bay and boast moisture-wicking capabilities for a cooler, more comfortable wear.

Because Bunker Mentality has embraced cutting-edge manufacturing methods, its polos are also available in a remarkable number of designs. Now operating according to an on-demand manufacturing model, by which products are made to order, the brand has eliminated stock waste entirely. While this ensures Bunker Mentality can regularly roll out new designs, keeping customers engaged and excited, it also makes the brand’s manufacturing operations much more environmentally friendly.
