The Essence of the MacDivot Brand

From the funny pages to the fairway — the legacy of Mac Divot, the world's first daily golf comic strip, reborn as a heritage fashion brand.

The MacDivot Legacy

Mac Divot was the world's first daily golf comic strip, illustrated by Mel Keefer and syndicated by Tribune Media Services. For decades, the strip followed the MacDivot family — a multigenerational dynasty of golfers whose wit, style, and love of the game captured the imagination of readers around the world. From the fairways of Augusta to the drawing rooms of Rome, Mac Divot blended sport, fashion, and storytelling in a way that has never been done before or since. The strip earned a devoted following among golf enthusiasts and comic readers alike.
