The best-selling bags in golf just got even better
Titleist has unveiled a trio of new Players stand bags for the 2026 season, making carrying a greater luxury than ever before.
Titleist's prowess in the golf ball market is well-known, but what a lot of Brits might not know is that the American brand just so happens to be the best selling golf bag manufacturer in the local market as well.
The reasons for this are multiple. Titleist is renowned for exceptional quality, while its iconic branding also speaks for itself. However its core bag range has been due an update for some time now.
Thankfully for those looking for an outstanding new stand bag for 2026, Titleist has today revealed a complete update to its flagship Players golf stand bag line, with new iterations of the Players S4, Players S4 StaDry and Players S5 StaDry that have undergone ground-up redesigns based on extensive player feedback.
The different models in the bag are designed to cater to different kinds of walking player. The S4 is the lightest and most compact option, weighing in at just 2.1kg (4.8lbs) and featuring eight pockets with a four-way cuffed club divider for easier access and club retrieval. The S4 StaDry carries the same silhouette, beefed up with a waterproof StaDry outer material and fully seam-sealed zippers.
The S5 StaDry is the biggest and most fully-featured bag of the three, with two additional pockets, integrated waterproofing, a five-way club divider and two extra pockets. Despite the added storage, it weighs effectively the same as the S4 StaDry, and so fractionally more than the lightweight S4 that it'd be near impossible to notice while carrying.
Titleist have implemented a full suite of updates to the entire line based on feedback from dozens of golfers from all backgrounds and ability levels. The double strap system and hip pads have been beefed up for more cushioning and comfort, and the stand system has been totally redesigned for reliable leg security and stability. The outer material also has a new UV-resistant treatment, meaning the bag stays looking new for longer while regularly exposed to long periods in the sun.
As a fun touch, each bag also now comes included with a quick access magnetic tee pocket, keeping tees and small accessories readily available in a pinch.
The full new Titleist Players stand bag range is available now, with the Players S4 retailing for £190, the S4 StaDry £260, and the S5 StaDry £300.
