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.”

**How to Prevent a Bad Round from Getting Worse: LPGA Pro’s Strategy**

Golf is a challenging game, and even the best players have bad rounds. Sometimes, it seems like the harder you try to recover from a bad start, the worse it gets. But there are some things you can do to prevent a bad round from spiraling out of control.

One of the best things you can do is to focus on one shot at a time. Don’t dwell on the mistakes you’ve already made, and don’t get ahead of yourself by thinking about the shots you have yet to play. Just focus on the shot you’re currently facing, and try to hit it the best you can.
