Well, saddle up, partners, because TaylorMade has decided to lean all the way into the Wild West theme for its limited-edition tribute to the Women’s Professional Championship, and the host city, Frisco, TX.
If southwestern cowboy chic is your thing, TaylorMade is playing your song … on an out-of-tune saloon piano (probably).
Yeehaw meets tee time
The centerpiece of this collection is the Stockyard staff bag, and it’s clear TaylorMade didn’t hold back on the western inspiration. Drawing design cues from cowgirl boots, the bag features a color palette that pulls heavily from southwestern design traditions.
We’re talking beige, turquoise, brown, and pink highlights that look like they were lifted straight from a high-end Santa Fe boutique. The stitching work on both the front and back pays homage to the intricate embroidery you’d find on high-end cowgirl boots, the kind that serious western wear enthusiasts actually appreciate (again, probably).
But TaylorMade didn’t stop at pretty colors and fancy stitching. Oh no, they went full frontier with this one.
Details that’ll make you holler
The tee holders on the bag’s exterior are designed to look like bullet holsters. It’s a bold design choice that definitely commits to the theme. The level of detail is impressive, even if the concept might raise an eyebrow or two.
The front valuables pocket features a bull skull embroidery—a classic nod to western imagery. The side straps are designed to resemble cowgirl bootstraps. Even the handle gets in on the action with what TaylorMade calls a “cowpoke rope” design, because once you start down this path, you might as well go full buckaroo.
And because paying tribute to the host city is practically a requirement for this kind of thing, the topside valuables pocket features an embroidered water tower commemorating one of Frisco’s most iconic landmarks. It’s a nice local touch, even if water towers aren’t typically what come to mind when you think ‘iconic landmarks.
Headcovers with heritage
The Stockyard headcovers continue the western design language established by the staff bag. The same beige, brown, turquoise, and pink color scheme carries over, complete with cowgirl-inspired embroidery that maintains the collection’s commitment to authentic western styling.
The verdict from this here golf writer
Look, the Stockyard Collection isn’t for everyone, and TaylorMade probably knows that. It’s a bold swing at themed golf gear that either hits or misses depending on your personal style preferences. In a world where most golf equipment plays it safe with neutral colors and conservative designs, this collection definitely stands out from the crowd.
The western theme is executed with impressive attention to detail, even if the concept itself feels like it wandered in from a different decade. It’s the kind of gear that will either make you the most interesting person at your country club or the subject of some good-natured ribbing from your regular foursome.
If you’re toting around a staff bag, that strikes me as an inevitability, regardless.
Is it practical? About as practical as wearing spurs to the driving range. But practicality isn’t really the point with limited edition collections like this. The point is making a statement, and the Stockyard Collection certainly does that.
Saddle up while you can
Like all limited edition TaylorMade gear, the Stockyard Collection won’t be around forever. It’ll disappear from shelves faster than a tumbleweed in a West Texas wind, leaving behind only a select group of golfers who decided to embrace their inner cowpoke.
Just be prepared for some conversations on the first tee.
