Callaway releases PGA Championship-themed Chrome Tour 'May Major' golf balls
On the eve of the PGA Championship's return to Charlotte, NC, Callaway has dropped special Chrome Tour balls that celebrate the Queen City.
David DusekA week ahead of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, Callaway has released a special version of its Chrome Tour golf balls.
The "May Major" edition of the Chrome Tour golf balls are adorned with symbols of host city, including a "QC" with a crown over it. Charlotte is known as the "Queen City" after being named in honor of King George III's wife, Queen Charlotte, in 1768.
The balls also feature a blue hornet, a nod to the city's NBA basketball team, the Charlotte Hornets, and the number 704, the city's telephone area code, is on the balls and the box as well.

From a performance standpoint, the Charlotte-themed Chrome Tour balls should play and perform like the standard Chrome Tour balls that released in 2024. They feature a four-piece construction with a large rubber core encased in two mantles covered by a thin, soft urethane cover.
Callaway updated the HyperFast Soft core to help golfers generate more speed and distance, while the thin urethane cover is easily grabbed by the grooves of wedges and short irons to generate spin on approach shots, pitch shots and chips. Callaway also updated the seamless, hexagonal dimple pattern, bolstering it in some areas with clusters of circular dimples to make the ball more stable in windy conditions.
The Callaway "May Major" Chrome Tour balls will cost $54.99 per dozen and are available for order on callawaygolf.com while supplies last.
