Tour Report with PROTOCONCEPT - VOL.42

There is something different about U.S. Open week.

From the moment you step onto the property, you can feel it. The rough is thicker. The fairways are firmer. Every shot matters.

This week, PROTOCONCEPT GOLF staff player TK Kim is competing among the world’s best at the U.S. Open Championship, and we had the opportunity to spend time on-site as preparations continued for one of golf’s toughest tests.

Walking the practice grounds and championship holes, it quickly becomes clear why the U.S. Open demands so much from every player.

Precision is everything. Distance alone is not enough. The ability to control trajectory, manage spin, and execute under pressure becomes the difference between success and failure.

For championship week, TK Kim has chosen a setup built around trusted PROTOCONCEPT performance:

• C01TB ic Irons (#5–PW)
• C01.5TH Utility Iron (#4)
• 50° Wedge
• 54° Wedge

Watching him prepare throughout the week reinforced something we have always believed: confidence comes from knowing exactly how your equipment will perform when it matters most.

One of the highlights from the week was seeing the upcoming PROTOCONCEPT GOLF × Vessel 2026 Collaboration Staff Bag on one of golf’s grandest stages.

Positioned beside championship fairways, practice tees, and iconic U.S. Open venues, the bag represents more than a new product launch.

It reflects the continued evolution of the PROTOCONCEPT brand and our commitment to delivering premium performance products for serious golfers around the world.

As we walked the property, from the practice range to the championship holes, the atmosphere was unforgettable.

The grandstands, the championship setup, the anticipation surrounding every round—these are the moments that remind us why we love the game.

For PROTOCONCEPT GOLF, being represented on this stage is both an honor and a responsibility. Every experience gathered during weeks like this helps inspire the products we design and the standards we pursue.

We would like to thank all of our partners, distributors, fitters, and customers around the world for their continued support.

We’ll continue sharing updates from the championship grounds throughout the week.

From the U.S. Open,
