“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.
