What's more interesting is the second half of the link you posted, the F kit shoe bag looks more like a lunch bag to me instead, the C kit shoe bag looks like the AA grey shoe bag pass out a few years ago (the one that is Spa inflight with Temple Spa products)
PGA TOUR Amenity Kits
Beginning in April, on international flights departing and arriving in the United States, United will offer amenity kits with a PGA TOUR theme. United is the official airline of the PGA TOUR.
The kits, which come in the form of shoe bags, will include traditional amenity kit items plus tees, United-branded Bridgestone Golf balls and a promotional offer for a future Bridgestone Golf purchase.
The United-PGA TOUR amenity kits will be available through the end of June or while supplies last.
Additionally, United and the PGA TOUR offer MileagePlus members discounts on starting times and golf club rentals at properties within the PGA TOUR's TPC Network – a collection of more than 30 world-class golf destinations primarily throughout North America – and discounts on the TOURAcademy.

I was too late last year, but on a EWR-HNL trip that got delayed 6hrs and a plane change to a plane coming from MUC, they handed out the tins so that was nice.
I've got a trip to DXB at the beginning of Feb, I'll have to see if I get one. I'm heading to HNL again in March, I wonder if I'll get one. They listed HNL, but said intl only.
Its interesting the PGA ones say departing and arriving.

However, I give all of mine to a local women's safe house ... and the residents (women and kids) love them.
I also have given to homeless shelters.
No longer worthless! ^ :-: :-: :-:

But wouldn't the standard amenity kits have the same value for those purposes?

I can take or even buy some from you, especially if you have the ORD ones. The ORD ones are a good souvenir for my overseas relatives, as it represents where I live.
I would want the 2015 tins as well, and the PGA kits looks very interesting, don't give them away, I would want to take or buy it all if you have spares.

You are right. I've seen them all except for MEL and PVG, and have seen the PEK. I've seen the 8 that ORDnHKG has posted and no others other than in the picture linked earlier. Good catch. Still no picture of a PVG though.

Last year ORD-FRA I got CLE friendly and IAH-LHR I got LAX friendly.
Last week ORD-PEK they were giving one on top of the grey bag and I got NRT friendly and the guy next to me didn't want his so he gave his LHR friendly to me. 😀
I am on GF in a couple of days PEK-SFO (so far I am the only one ) so you guys are saying they don't give them towards the U.S.?

I just did SFO/NRT. Got Rio and Dubai. But they also gave us the conventional pouch amenity kits. So everyone in F got 2 kits.
