There are two approaches to the golfing aesthetic: the dapper way, and the dorkus way. Both have their merits of course, but you'll find yourself sliding effortlessly towards the former camp when you incorporate the latest colab – the 740 'Willful Bias for Discovery' – into your get-up.

This is the third in TWG's ongoing series of themed 'Willful Bias' drops. An extension of its namesake term (which refers to the deliberate choice to favour one thing over another – check out the wink to that concept on the sneakers' insoles), 'Willful Bias' promotes the company's mission of elevating Black culture through art, fashion and storytelling. The series launched in 2024 with a followed by the 'Willful Bias for Education' drop in August this year – a two-pack comprising the Now, the 'Willful Bias for Discovery' arrives with a campaign titled 'Swing Different'.

The kernel of 'Swing Different' is an invitation, asking us to celebrate our individuality (be it dapper, dorkus or anything else on the spectrum of self) and show up in unabashedly top form – both feeling and looking our best. It's all about style, confidence, and authenticity, the hallowed three clubs of cool that deserve a permanent place in your caddy.
