Yes they are, Google it. Mickelson has made more than $800m on the US tour. Beckham was used as someone who was talented and had a huge media presence and “brand” compared to most golfers. He rightly there are far bigger world stars, who play more popular sports, but make less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will these teams be together for a while or are they going to change them completely every year? They should have made them relatable to the average punter. The Hackers, The Shankers, The Three Putts, The Iron Covers, The No Returns... On the team front, it's not entirely clear what will happen for the rest of the season as there will be a bit of a change in the field for the remaining six 54 hole events. Due to the Captains being paid chunky fees, I'd expect they'll be committed to play in every event and will remain as part of their named team.

The lack of images of the top of the bag/arrangement means it's easy to overlook a nice looking bag that has 2 or 4 dividers. Some prefer that though, but I find everything ends up upside down when carried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Max, Sun Mountain and Ogio are probably the most reliable manufacturers. Big Max are German and supply premium bags and trolleys. I have one of their lightweight smaller bags for quick rounds etc. Been very happy with it. The other two are big names in the US for backpacking and hillwalking bags and the ones I've seen have been impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the variety of brands I've had and got (currently have five I rotate), I've never had an issue with quality or had to return any. A couple of guys I play with have returned theirs (Callaway, Titleist) but it could be down to the way they handle them. I think all of the top brands make bags to a good standard and it is just down to what you want (number of pockets, amount of storage, waterproof, colour, number of dividers or simply the brand name. The three I mentioned are at the upper end of the price scale. However, they are specialists in that market. Wilson make nice bags too and are another who are bigger in the US than here. One of my bags is a Taylor Made hybrid. It's quite big for a carry bag with a stand but designed to fit a trolley too. It has a 14-way divider feature which is handy.

I don't carry extra clothing and don't have a full set. I couldn't give a shit if people don't like the appearance. I bought a Ouul bag for £75.
