The 2021 PGA Merchandise Show has come and gone again, and we walked the halls to bring you the best products introduced this year. Okay, the show was virtual this year, but we still sifted through the 1,387 products on display to bring you our Top 10 Coolest Golf Products. Obviously, we did not have a chance to touch or test any of these products and cannot vouch for the marketing claims made by the manufacturers, but it's a great place to start when life gets back to normal.
