These 2024 PGA Championship staff bags are ‘off to the races’

Staff bags carry more than just clubs. They feature colors, patterns and logos that reflect a player’s personality or sponsorships. For the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, bags are taking on a new dimension with a “racing stripes” theme.

PGA of America Championship Director Bryan Karns says the idea came from a group text message with the equipment reps.

“We were spitballing ideas and somebody said we should do something with racing stripes,” Karns said. “And that was sort of the eureka moment.”

The bags feature a white base with red, blue and yellow stripes, as well as the PGA Championship logo. Players will be able to choose from three different stripe patterns: vertical, horizontal and diagonal.

“We’re excited about the new look for the staff bags at the 2024 PGA Championship,” Karns said. “We think they’ll be a great way to add to the excitement of the tournament.”
