Nicholas James Launches the First Luxury Golf and Lifestyle Brand Tailored for Men 5’9” and Under

In a bold move that challenges outdated fashion norms and redefines luxury menswear, Nicholas James proudly announces its debut as the first premium golf and lifestyle brand designed specifically for men 5’9″ and under. With a focus on precise fit, elevated craftsmanship, and timeless design, Nicholas James is pioneering a new standard where shorter men no longer compromise—on style, quality, or confidence.

Founded by Nick Parker, a 5’6″ menswear veteran with roots in luxury golf shops and premium apparel sales, Nicholas James was born from a personal and professional realization: shorter men are consistently underserved in fashion. While Big & Tall has long been a fixture in menswear, no golf and lifestyle brand had ever dared to do the same for men of modest height—until now.

Hometown Victory: Keegan Bradley Captures Second Travelers Championship Title and Third Straight Win for Srixon

In a dramatic finish filled with momentum shifts, Srixon’s Keegan Bradley captured his eighth career PGA TOUR victory and second Travelers Championship title in front of an electric hometown crowd. With a bag full of Srixon and Cleveland Golf equipment, Bradley once again proved he is a clutch closer when it matters most.

From tee to green Bradley’s game was locked in, powered by the precision and control of his equipment. Facing pressure late Sunday, Bradley leaned on his Srixon ZX7 Mk II 9-Iron to deliver one of the tournament's biggest moments: a perfectly struck approach shot on the 18th hole that stopped five feet from the pin, setting up a birdie putt and sealing the outright win.

I feel an obligation to play for the people of New England and the Northeast and represent them. This is the best way I can do it. Of all the shots and all the putts I’ve hit, I think I’ll remember that one the most.

Srixon Staffer, Keegan Bradley

Bradley’s victory builds on the consistent excellence he’s shown all season. Entering this week with four top-10 finishes, he finally broke through with a statement win at TPC River Highlands. Backed by his Srixon Tour-validated Irons and Cleveland Golf Wedges, he ranked inside the top 15 in greens in regulation, approach, around the greens, and strokes gained total.

This triumph caps off a dominant three-week run for Srixon and Cleveland Golf, with three consecutive victories by Srixon staffers – underscoring a landmark year for the brands.
