This pattern is available for free.

Adapted from the pattern for the largest of the three head covers in the basic pattern, this cover is longer, so it is a good choice for an oversized driver. The padding in the muzzle adds extra layers of protection for your club – and perhaps as importantly, look great! I can’t guarantee that this tiger cover will make you play like his namesake, but the bold styling and colour will certainly raise a smile.
