Golf Bag Vs Golf Purse
Do you need a golf purse? And no, we're not just talking to the ladies
If you're chronically online like us (you're in good company), you've probably seen or heard the latest trending TikTok sound "I have purse." Popular pop culture podcasters Brooke Averick and Connor Woods of 'Brooke & Connor Make a Podcast' tease bits of their episodes on TikTok and Instagram. One clip in particular of Averick making a small slip-up mid-conversation has not only taken the internet by storm, but now the PGA has taken part in the lighthearted fun and we're obsessed.
The PGA Tour's official Instagram account has undergone a rebrand over the years, fully embracing the more unserious moments of tour life, providing us with quality memes and semi-embarrassing throwback pictures of players. With its participation in meme culture, the tour enlightened us on just how much the world's best golfers really love a tote or duffel bag. From the likes of high-end couture to slinky gym bags—your favorite golfer has a favorite car-to-course bag to house all their knickknacks. We've rounded up a few options so that you too can "have purse".

Galvin Green Tate Slingbag
Sometimes bigger isn't always better, and when it comes to finding the right "go-to" bag, convenience is key. This one-compartment-fits-all sling allows you to maximize space without being too bulky. Bonus points for being able to swing over your shoulder (like a cooler-looking fanny pack).
Tumi Sport Golf Duffel
Another great 2-in-1 duffle/backpack option, Tumi presents us with an upscaled weekender-like bag that's high on our wishlist. The off-white and tan colorway is lusciously chic, with striking gold finishes that bring a new meaning to "resort to sport".

Yeti 35 Carryall Tote Bag
Departing from more conventional duffels and totes, add a splash of vibrancy to your accessories and elevate your in-round snack situation with Yeti. It's not your typical tote (and not a cooler), but functionality prevails with this durable waterproof repository that can endure the sandy dunes of the beach, grizzly camping trips, or a chilled day on the course.
Nike Sportswear RPM Tote (26L)
This understated and rather unassuming tote from Nike may be one of our favorites on this list. It's the perfect everyday tote, that could fit just about anything, and we're prepared to test its limits (we could easily fit a sensible pair of golf shoes and slides in the main compartment).
Holderness & Bourne The Byers Duffel Bag
Resembling doctors' bags from the 20th century, this duffle caught our eye with its subtle palatial appearance and deep regal blue hue. It easily would become a staple in any golfer's arsenal.

Even those with sedentary lives will want this bag (and to be actively inclined). Equipped with characteristics for someone who lives an active life—this bag is made with wipeable nylon for easy cleaning, ample space for all your gym or sports essentials, including extra straps on one side, making the perfect slot for a rolled-up yoga mat or towel, and trendy contrasted piping finishes, so that the bag is not only functional but stylish for weekends on the road.

Coach Gotham Duffle Bag
If you're looking to splurge a little and look like the pros doing so, this is the bag for you. Coach offers us accessible luxury, that feels practical (buyer's remorse be damned!) no matter the occasion. The higher price tag is well worth it, with the touches of refined leather and the brand's signature canvas taking center stage as the bag remains subtle yet timeless.

Herschel Novel Duffle
Made with recycled materials, this duffle is elevating the way travel accessories and organic materials coexist. Oftentimes, we sacrifice style for function out of fear that our bags will get damaged, but in this instance, we get the best of both worlds, and who can resist that?
Calpak Luka Large Duffel
We can't help but fawn over accessories with unconventional characteristics (mainly colors and textures) and Calpak has no shortness of them.

Alo Yoga Crossbody Bucket Bag
Never be without your dose of espresso again…well sort of. In the colorway espresso and black, this drawstring bucket bag serves up utility vibes on a classic crossbody bag that we can already see full of the things we swear we can't live without. We also get the sense that hundreds of golf tees will compile toward the bottom of the bag, which would put any pro shop to shame.
Patagonia 8L Atom Sling
Whether you're trekking up a mountain or running your daily errands, this sling will provide you with the space to pack whatever you may need. Golfers have a unique ability to turn just about anything into a golf accessory—and we do not doubt that this bag will quickly become a fan favorite (the price alone has us running to our shopping carts).
