Best golf bags for 2022: 10 of our favorite bags

Check out Golfweek’s 10 favorite golf bags for 2022

What type of golf bag do you need? Unsure if you should go for a cart bag or stand bag? We’ve got you covered. Both have their pros and cons. Cart bags are nearly impossible to carry anywhere besides from your trunk to the cart but also provide a ton of storage options. Stand bags are incredibly light and do exactly what you need them to do. While they have fewer storage options than a cart bag, you’d be surprised at how much can fit in a stand bag.

Our David Dusek already brought you the best stand bags of 2022. Some of them are on this list because simply put, they’re incredible bags and worthy of holding your most precious cargo every time you tee it up.

It all depends on what you want when you play. Do you always use a cart and have accessories like a portable speaker, GPS, umbrella, ball retriever, etc.? Then a cart bag is probably the best fit for you.

Are you a player that takes a cart most of the time but will occasionally take a good walk? A stand bag will help you accomplish both types of rounds with ease.

Irons for low-handicap golfers for 2022

For players with a consistent swing, there are lots of classic-looking irons available that can enhance their performance.

There was a time, not too long ago, when irons designed for single-digit handicap golfers came in two varieties. If you were good enough to play them, muscleback blades were touted as being the ultimate in feel and control. If you weren’t quite good enough for those, cavity-back options offered a little forgiveness thanks to some perimeter weighting, but they were still compact in size and featured thin toplines, narrow soles and only a touch of offset.

In recent years, however, the better-player iron category has fragmented and added a new genre. While there are still muscleback options for elite players and game-enhancing cavity-backs out there, better-player distance clubs have emerged as one of the hottest areas of the market. They typically have the compact looks of traditional clubs, but use multiple materials and different design features to create more ball speed, increased forgiveness and better performance for players who have a repeatable swing.

Equipment makers typically produce new game-improvement and max game-improvement irons every season, but better-player irons often run on two- or three-year product cycles, meaning they are updated every 24 to 36 months. Why? The market for irons designed for single-digit handicap golfers is significantly smaller and players who often shoot in the 70s (or better) are usually not in the market for new technology. They prefer refinements to things they know and trust, so innovations come more slowly.

If you are someone who typically shoots below 80, who contends at your local club championship or is an aspiring tournament player, the irons listed below could give you the combination of control, feel and distance that you need to take your game to the next level.

Irons used by the top 10 golfers in strokes gained approach the green

Check out the irons currently being used by the PGA Tour’s best ballstrikers like Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm and Will Zalatoris.

Two weeks ago, we revealed the drivers being used by the golfers who lead the PGA Tour in strokes gained off the tee, a critical statistic for success. However, if there is a stat that holds even more value for the game’s elite players, it is strokes gained approach the green.

Sure, everyone wants to hole more putts and get more distance off the tee, but pros have accepted the notion, based on analytics, that the more birdie chances you have, the lower your scores will go, even if you are not a great putter. Distance off the tee can help, but accuracy and consistency from the fairway with your irons will translate into birdie chances and keep big numbers off your scorecard.

Below is a list of the players who lead the PGA Tour in strokes gained approach the green, along with the irons they currently play.

Our favorite golf gloves of 2022

Check out our list of top golf gloves in 2022.

Whether you’ve just picked up the game or you’re able to shoot lower than your age, a golf glove is one the most essential and affordable pieces of equipment most golfers utilize.

Golf gloves allow you to better control the club, but to get the full benefit of a glove, you need one that fits properly. Before we get into the following list of gloves to try, here are a few tips and tricks to know you’re getting the right one.

First, a good golf glove should be tight. When your hand is spread naturally, the velcro tab should reach to the halfway point of the velcro on the other side across the back of your hand. With time, you’ll break in the glove and the velcro will reach all the way across. If the glove rides too far up your wrist, try a cadet size made for hands with shorter fingers and wider palms.

If you play a lot, especially in the summer, buy in bulk to keep your gloves fresh. Pro tip: Hang a glove on your cart or bag to air out between shots. And if you want a glove to last longer, never leave it in the hot and humid trunk of your car between rounds.

The list below has options for every budget and handicap, and even includes where to buy.

Best golf stand bags for 2022

Today’s stand bags offer loads of storage and easy access to your clubs and gear in lighter, more durable designs.

If you are in the market for a new golf bag and are not a PGA Tour or LPGA member, a stand bag is probably the way to go. Even if you ride around your local club every time you tee it up, which makes you a prime candidate for a cart bag, a well-constructed stand bag is lighter to transport to and from your car, and it will accommodate everything you should need during your round.

When you consider which stand bag to buy, create some priorities.

If you intend to walk and carry your bag, its weight is especially important. Over 18 holes, every pound counts, so be sure to compare how much each bag weighs.
If you bring loads of high-tech gear and accessories such as a portable speaker, a spare battery, a water bottle, an umbrella and a laser rangefinder, look for a bag with plenty of pockets and spots where you can easily store your stuff.
There are bags on the market that have individual compartments for each of your 14 clubs, but most have a top divided into either four, five or six sections. More dividers can help keep things organized, but dividers add weight. It also can be frustrating to get clubs in and out of individual holders. Opting for a bag with fewer dividers can save weight, but cramming three or four clubs into one section can be cumbersome when the grips and shafts are cluttered.

To help find a good bag at a good price, look for the following models at your local store or online.

Drivers used by PGA Tour players ranked in the top 10 in strokes gained off the tee

Check out which clubs the PGA Tour’s best drivers are using now.

With the Fall Series and the West Coast Swing now in the rearview mirror and the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing having started, there have been enough events played in the 2021-2022 season to start to get a good statistical feel for the game. Most players have competed in at least four to six events, so their stats have meaning and are less likely to see wild changes based on one week’s performance.

One of the most coveted stats on the PGA Tour is strokes gained off the tee, which measures the advantage (or disadvantage) a player has exclusively from his performance on par 4s and par 5s off the tee. A positive number means a player is better than the average golfer on Tour, while a negative number means the player is worse than average. Golfers who excel in this statistic tend to make a lot of money, find themselves in contention on the weekends and become household names. The best season-ending strokes gained off the tee average ever was turned in by Bubba Watson in 2012 (1.485), and Rory McIlroy has finished the season ranked either first or second five times in the past 10 years.

Below is a list of the golfers who rank in the top 10 in strokes gained off the tee, along with the drivers they are currently using.
