If you’ve been paying attention to the golf fashion scene, you’ve probably noticed that Knockaround has been making serious moves lately. The San Diego-based eyewear brand known for its laid-back, stylish sunglasses at refreshingly reasonable prices—has expanded its PGA Tour presence by adding Mark Hubbard and Peter Malnati to its growing roster of player partnerships that includes fan-favorites Joel Dahmen and Harry Higgs.
Let’s be honest: a certain brand that starts with an ‘O’ has dominated the Tour fairways since David Duval rolled up in his signature wrap-arounds in the ’90s. But with aforementioned foursome, Knockaround is shaking things up and making inroads on Tour. Rather, than the cold, Terminator-like approach that Duval brought to the course, Knockaround is bring a more fun and approachable vibe to the game. Hubbard and Malnati certainly fit right in with this.
Hubbard, known for his quick wit and unfiltered personality, is a guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously—but don’t let that fool you. With five professional wins to his name, he’s got game. Plus, his passion for the outdoors makes him a natural fit for Knockaround’s lineup of versatile, adventure-ready eyewear.
Peter Malnati, fresh off his 2024 Valspar Championship win, brings a competitive fire to the mix. But beyond the scorecard, he’s all about family and community, which aligns perfectly with Knockaround’s commitment to authenticity and connection.
Hubbard and Malnati’s partnership with Knockaround isn’t just about logos on collars (though, yes, you’ll spot the Knockaround emblem). It’s about pros embracing eyewear that delivers both performance and personality. Whether it’s for cutting glare on the greens or just looking effortlessly cool off the course, Knockaround’s shades are built for the modern golfer—stylish, functional, and won’t cost you a weekend tee time’s worth of cash.
Golf style is evolving, and Knockaround is leading the charge with a fresh approach that’s all about personality, accessibility, and, of course, great-looking sunglasses. So, if you’re still rocking that same old pair of shades from five seasons ago, maybe it’s time for an upgrade. Knockaround is proving that looking good on the course doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank—and with their growing roster of Tour pros, they’re making a statement that’s impossible to ignore.
