Masters 2026: Rory’s mom wins Augusta National fashion game with heartwarming custom purse

From the very-much-not-approved Malbon bird-watching get-up to the new golf sweater substitute sweeping the nation , the Masters has become a runway of sorts for the rest of the year in golf. Whether other major champions’ parents follow Rory McIlroy’s mother’s fashion-forward lead is yet to be seen.
