TUMI's Golf Line Is As Sleek As Its Luggage
TUMI released their first-ever golf collection, including golf bags, totes, cigar cases, umbrellas, and more, and it’s just as sturdy and spacious as TUMI luggage.

As golf’s popularity continues to surge, all kinds of brands are taking part in the phenomenon and offering their spin on the classic gear and accessories needed to shoot par and get around the course. TUMI, with its legacy of durable and coveted high-end luggage, is the latest to dedicate a line to the sport, and they are making a big entrance. They have signed an exclusive partnership with the PGA TOUR and LPGA, becoming the “Official Luggage” of both organizations and debuted the “full range golf collection” at the PGA Show this year to much acclaim and interest.
“Many of TUMI’s consumers are competitive and leisure athletes, so golf makes so much sense for TUMI as a brand,” said Victor Sanz, TUMI’s Creative Director. “Our customers are not only looking for high-performing products but those that match their lifestyle.”
An avid golfer myself, I got to experience their new bags and accessories first-hand and let me tell you, they are just as attractive and thoughtful as anything TUMI has made so far. Available in both their signature black and a really cool off-white motif, all the items are quality in look and feel. Here is a rundown of all thirteen products available, from their innovative and technically impressive golf bags to sturdy travel cases and golf shoe bags, plus a myriad of accessories that will help you look and feel great on the course.
TUMI Golf Cart Bag
Let’s start with the line’s biggest statement piece, the sleek and innovative TUMI Golf Cart Bag. Sanz told me it’s his favorite product in the collection. “The piece was crafted with an incredible amount of detail,” he said, “with every step of our consumer’s golf outing considered.” Some of the standout design elements of the bag include a side pocket with magnetic closure for your rangefinder, an insulated cooler pocket, and a discrete built-in USB-C power bank on the back pocket. It’s sturdy, handsome, and literally electric, making it a perfect companion for the corporate outing or the club tournament.
TUMI Golf Stand Bag
We’ve covered the cart bag and the Sunday bag, but the most popular type of golf bag is the stand bag. TUMI’s signature engineering is on full display in its TUMI Golf Stand Bag, whether you’re a beginner or a professional who wants to carry 18 and feel both comfortable and elevated. Every detail is thought out here, from the incredibly comfortable backpack straps, multiple strong pockets, an articulating foot for upright or angled standing, and even embroidery for your initials to stand out even further. When you’re up for a little more fun, there’s a cooler pocket that can fit more than a few cans of your swing juice of choice, and an embedded USB-C charger for your phone, speaker, or rangefinder.
“Each item in the Golf collection is inspired by the passion of the sport and delivers our brand’s signature durability, high-performance materials, and innovative design,” Sanz mentioned, “while maintaining all the performance luxury aspects that TUMI is known for.” This bag itself may be the epitome of that, for all golfers who want that panache in their game.
TUMI Sport Golf Duffel
It’s often confusing to people when you explain you have your golf bag, and then golf bags. But the TUMI Sport Golf Duffel is one of the best ways to explain this nuance: this bag is for your shoes, your clothes, and your dopp kit that helps you get to the club each morning and enjoy that bag of clubs you haul around the course. It can be worn as a backpack or carried by the handle, and it even includes a trolley sleeve to make it a surprisingly versatile carry-on for your trip to warmer climates to play. This one is a must-have for the sophisticated and efficiently packed golfer.
TUMI Collapsible Shoe Bag
If it’s anything but a perfect 72 degrees Fahrenheit and sunshine outside, a great pair of golf shoes is going to be the most important piece of gear you have. They will get wet whether it’s a full-on downpour or just a dewy spring morning, or even if you just walk through a post-sprinkler hole. So having a shoe bag to separate out your spikes when they’re recovering from the damp turf if important for the traveling golfer, and TUMI’s Collapsible Shoe Bag has that, with a water-resistant and vented interior to make sure they can dry to or from the course. Add in a convenient carry strap, and enough size for even my size 14 shoes, this accessory shows you care about your game and your trusty footwear.
TUMI Golf Hardside 2 Wheeled Travel Case
When you decide to take your game to the next level, that means traveling to new courses and climates that challenge your abilities and expand your understanding of what golf can be. To do so, you can’t rent a stock set at the course; you have to bring your own. This hard-shell case not only protects your clubs (in fact, they have their own compartment separate from your bag inside, for an even more secure trip), it makes carting them through the airport and across the resort incredibly easy with two wheels and secure handles. It’s sturdy, impeccably designed, and luxe inside. Showing up with this lets everyone know you are serious and enthusiastic about playing.
TUMI Golf Pouch with Tees
Speaking of accessories, the TUMI Golf Pouch with Tees blends the line between bag and gear in the best way. It’s a small pouch about the size of a rangefinder that easily clips onto your main bag to hold your balls, pencils, tees, and divot tool. “It really enhances your game when everything is easily accessible,” Sanz reminded me, and I agree, especially when you have a monogrammed bag to help with that. When you don’t have a caddy at the ready, this will ensure you always have what you need to tee up after that OB drive, or mark down your birdie when you clear the green.
TUMI Golf Divot Tool
Everyone needs a divot tool to respect the turf and be ready for anything on the course. A perfect gift for the elevated golfer, this multi-use TUMI Golf Divot Tool is monogrammable and looks great in the available gold or gunmetal; plus, it can be attached to your belt, bag, or cart. It has a magnetic ball marker for claiming your spot on the green, an all-leather case in black or off-white, and a bottle opener for the 19th hole too.
TUMI Golf Range Bag
Smaller, five-club golf bags are really in style at the moment, whether you call them range, Sunday, lightweight, or mini bags. The TUMI Golf Range Bag answers that call in customary style, delivering a lightweight alternative for par 3’s, quick rounds, or twilight scrambles, and it’s sturdy and innovative. It doesn’t sacrifice pocket capacity for the smaller size, with two U-style zippered compartments and a detachable club-head cover, with an interior divider for your narrowed club arsenal. And just like its bigger cousins, it’s monogrammable and sturdy enough for anything you throw at it.
TUMI Golf Extra Large Umbrella
Believe me, a former caddy, that you need an actual golf umbrella if you plan to play a round in any kind of mixed-weather climate. Even better if it’s extra large, so it can cover yourself and your bag behind you, and be propped up with ease as you swing. The TUMI Golf Extra Large Umbrella is a really sturdy umbrella considering the size, so it will hold up to the wind (which can make or break your round) much as the rain. It’s a perfect compliment to your new bag with its red accents under the signature TUMI black exterior and reflective logo for when it gets a little dark out there.
TUMI Three-Pack Golf Club Cover Set
And finally, TUMI has a set of three meticulously designed head covers for your woods that complete the whole look. They’re very plush inside to protect your new driver that got you the extra 30 yards but also extremely durable on the outside, made of TUMI’s signature FXT Ballistic Nylon. You can monogram them as well, and having tested them out, I can say they are of the most protective covers I’ve ever used. But despite their heft, they are so easy to get on-and-off the clubs. It will make you want to try to take your 3 wood off the deck on that par 5 that has always had a green slightly out of reach for your second shot.
