The newest addition to Bentley's lineup fits in the back seat of the Continental GT. No, it's not that rumored two-seater they keep teasing. It's a set of golf clubs.

The new Tech Collection from Bentley Golf utilizes multi-material technology to maximize performance, not unlike what can be found in Bentley automobiles. The clubs are designed for everyone from a seasoned professional to a beginner.

The irons feature titanium faces and carbon-fiber backs. Both wedge options have CNC-milled face grooves and back cavities, with a rounded sole. The putter combines high-density steel, super-soft aluminium and carbon-fiber detailing that offers support for off-centre strikes.

Designers wanted to balance the appearance of the club with the traditional hallmarks of the Bentley brand and modern materials. Motifs from the new Continental GT appear on the club grips and faces in the form of Bentley's distinctive knurling. Bentley has employed the iconic styling-line of its car haunches in the crown and sole of the wood. Distinctive "B" screens are in place and the wood heads and grip ends feature replicas of the unique wheel centre from the famous Le Mans winer, the EXP Speed 8.

The clubs were revealed for the first time at the PGA Merchandise Show, Orlando in January 2020, and will be available to purchase this spring. To register interest in the clubs, visit www.bentleygolf.com.
