Golfers shouldn’t have to choose between style and performance, but after playing a few sweat-soaked rounds on the big island of Hawai’i, Ralph Dunning couldn’t help but notice that his golf apparel was seriously lacking when compared to the gear he wore as a triathlete. Technical apparel already existed, but to Dunning, it appeared that golf hadn’t noticed yet. Since nobody was moving the game forward from an apparel point of view, the multi-talented Dunning did what every innovator does — he just did it himself.
When you heard the name “Dunning Golf”, Ralph wanted two things to come to mind: high-performance fabrics and timeless, sophisticated design. When the brand was founded in 2000, most golf brands were still making all of their apparel from cotton, sizing up their shirts and pants to make up for a lack of stretch, and, in many ways, foregoing performance considerations altogether. Dunning changed the entire scene by developing performance fabrics that looked good on and off the course, giving the modern golfer an outfit that wouldn’t leave them drenched in sweat at the end of a round. Over 20 years later, and Dunning is still doing its thing, utilizing the finest, most technologically advanced textiles to craft high-quality performance golf apparel.
Dunning’s apparel takes the guesswork out of getting dressed for a round of golf, making on-course and lifestyle apparel that has all of the classic style cues the game of golf is known for while incorporating the very best technical fabrics and technologies that exist in the apparel world today. Where most tech-heavy brands lean on crazy graphics, neon colorways, and out-of-the-box design choices, Dunning’s apparel is classy, easy-wearing, and timeless — perfect for the player who likes to let their swing do the talking.
Performance-Focused Classics
Dunning’s ethos is this: “Engineered for athletes, designed for players.” Their crack team of designers work in tandem with the creative team to develop clothes that, of course, look excellent on the course, but are also meticulously researched and crafted, starting with that very first fiber that goes into a pair of the brand’s fan-favorite Players shorts or their new Ventilated Polo, a polo that happens to be one of the brand’s most exciting new innovations.
When we asked Creative Director Omar Jermaine to give us the scoop on his current Dunning favorites, he went straight to their new ventilated mesh shirts, saying, “the overall star [of our apparel line] is the ventilated mesh. It is, bar none, one of the best things that we’ve developed. The playability, the comfort, the lightness, the actual weight of the goods…the way that we can print on it, we can do engineered stripes with it. I mean, we’re really playing with how many different ways we can actually engineer this ventilated mesh.”
Golf Pride and NBA superstar Steph Curry are teaming up to create an exclusive, limited-edition golf grip set to support Curry’s UNDERRATED youth golf program.
The set includes 14 specially designed MCC Plus4 grips featuring Curry’s interlocking “SC” logo embedded in the grip and UNDERRATED’s three-star insignia. Proceeds will support UNDERRATED’s mission to provide “equity, access and opportunity to student-athletes from every community by balancing participation in the sport to reflect our society.”
Golf Pride is producing only 8,200 individually numbered grip kits, reflecting the NBA’s 82-game schedule. Each kit includes a one-of-a-kind UNDERRATED ball marker and a unique collector’s display preserving one grip as a keepsake. There’s a lower compartment holding the other 13 grips.
Starting today on the Golf Pride website, the kit is on sale now for $249.99.
The Golf Pride X Steph Curry X UNDERRATED Collaboration
You can make a compelling case that no one individual is doing more to grow the game of golf than Steph Curry. The Golden State Warrior sharpshooter is an avid and accomplished golfer and his support for the game goes back to 2019 when he personally funded Howard University’s new Division I men’s and women’s golf teams through 2026.

Eternal truths. There are a lot of them. Water is wet. I have cankles. Oh, and Maxfli makes great golf gear at incredible prices.
That much is true for their “Tour” golf balls and popular Honors golf bag. But the DICK’S Sporting Goods house brand just took things up a notch with the release of their new premium Modern Classic golf bags.
For $299 you’re getting a synthetic leather golf bag with all the goodies. Let’s take a closer look at what I’m ready to declare as the best value premium golf bag on the market.

The Maxfli Modern Classic stand bag has everything you’re looking for. It’s kitted out in premium hardware and packaged in pebbled synthetic leather for a luxury fit and finish. Just as important as the aesthetics, though, is the functionality. A bag can look dang good but isn’t worth a damn if it isn’t functional.
The Maxfli Modern Classic bag has good zippers, a solid stand and good dividers. It nails the little things which is important if you want to stand out in an already overcrowded golf bag market.
Scottie Scheffler has shattered the record for on-course earnings by a professional golfer (not including bonuses) for a single year.
Scheffler is the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to win six PGA Tour events before the end of June. And given that his success comes during the most lucrative time in golf history, he is raking in the dough like nobody ever before.
Now at $27,696,858 for the year, Scheffler has feasted by winning five signature events plus the Masters. His Players Championship victory earned him $4.5 million while the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament wins were worth $4 million each. Triumphs at the Masters, RBC Heritage and Travelers Championship netted him a total of $3.6 million.
The previous record for on-course earnings outside of bonuses came last season when Scheffler made $21,014,342. The year before that (2021-2022), Scheffler also set the record at $14,046,910.
With all of this money, Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, is unofficially breaking every caddie earnings record.
