2021 GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide: Golf gifts for the Big Spender
It’s that time of year again, GolfWRX members, the moment we start filling our wish lists with the golf gear we want this holiday season.
The GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide was created to ensure that our readers give (and hopefully receive) the very best golf gifts on the planet. These gift ideas will suit any budget, and each item was hand-picked by our staff.
In an effort to provide more value and tailored recommendations, we’re presenting our guide as a series this year, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to get better,” and “the big spender.”
You know the big spender by his/her when the math “golf bag + 14 clubs = more than the value of your car…and maybe house.”
Here are our best recommendations for “the big spender” in your life (and yes, in this scenario, you are a big spender as well).
Vessel LUX LE Midsize Staff Bag – $475

Vessel has long been one of the biggest luxury golf bag makers, and the new Lux LE Midsize Staff bag continues the tradition. Many of us love full-size staff bags but hate the weight, so Vessel scaled down the size, but not the quality or the features. Tons of pockets, including a lined cooler pocket, all accessible while on a cart. Premium leather touch-points, quilted stitching, and microfiber wrapped club dividers finish off the build.
Ecco Biom Cool Pro – $260

If you know, then you know. Ecco has the reputation of making some of the most comfortable and durable shoes in golf. The new Boom Cool Pro includes Boa technology for a secure and comfortable fit without traditional laces. Gore-Tex Surround makes these 100 percent waterproof and the Tri-Fit-Grip sole gives you traction in any lie.
ForeSight GC3 Sim-In-A-Box – $14,995

A complete golf simulator, with 20 courses, ready to go in one package. The new Foresight CG3 launch monitor is the heart of this offering. Featuring three high-speed cameras for great accuracy and shot data, the CG3 can be used indoors or out. FSX 2020 simulator and FSX Pro performance tool software are included along with an impact screen, projector, turf, hitting mat, and even a computer cart!
Garia Supersport – $88,696

Is it a road-legal car or a golf cart? How about both? Garia has been making super high-end golf carts for a while now, and the Supersport is the wildest to date. From hand-stitched leather steering wheels and specially designed lounge seating to full carbon fiber body panels the Supersport sets itself apart from anything else. Powered by lithium and packed with technology, the Supersport even comes with a built-in fridge to keep your beverages cool when an emergency 9 is needed!
Rolex Day-Date 40 in 18ct Gold – $36,550

I know it isn’t a piece of golf equipment, but a Rolex is what the majority of PGA Tour players wear when they are holding trophies. The Day-Date is what Jack wore for decades and is considered THE gold luxury timepiece. The Day-Date has been nicknamed the “President” because of the President bracelet and since it has been worn by many presidents and world leaders over the years. This 228238 reference is made from solid 18ct gold and contains a Calibre 3255 self-winding automatic movement that is Swiss certified to be extremely accurate. Not only do you get the date window at 3 o’clock, but you get the day of the week displayed at 12 o’clock.
OXEFit XP1 – $35,000

Strength training meets supercomputer! Every golfer is taking fitness seriously and there isn’t a fitness machine more serious than the XP1. Digital weight training, motion sensors, and machine-learning track your movement to ensure you are using proper form and reducing strain. A 43-inch touchscreen controls everything from what exercises, how much weight, a rep counter, and even acts as a mirror to ensure you are doing everything correctly. The XP1 can create workouts where each rep can increase or decrease weight by specific amounts to really dial in the workout. Look out, Bryson!
Louis Vuitton Andrews Golf Kit – $915

Named after the most famous golf course in the world, this kit is an expensive way to carry three golf balls and four tees. Black Louis Vuitton patterned leather with a zippered opening allows you access to the three LV logoed golf balls. The four tees are held to the outside of the case, so they are easy to grab when you need to re-tee. A chrome clip holds this accessory to your bag.
Gibbons Handmade Crocodile Belt – $489

While the Anthony Kim-inspired belt buckles are a thing of the past, high-quality leather belts are still in high demand. Gibbons has many exotic leathers and colors to choose from, but it is tough to deny that saltwater crocodile is one of the best. The iconic crocodile “horns” run down the center of the belt and perfect squared edges show off the handmade quality. These are custom made, so you know it will fit, and with so many colors to choose from, you know it will match or contrast your favorite outfit.
Zen Green Stage – $24,000

All golfers dream about having their own simulator and putting green at home and Zen Golf makes those dreams come true. Their Green Stage is a large adjustable platform that can bring more realism to putts and full shots. It mechanically adjusts so you can hit breaking, and double breaking, putts as well as hit full shots from uneven lies! The Green Stage connects to your WiFi and you can control the whole thing from your phone or tablet!
Scotty Cameron Circle T Prototype Phantom X T-12 – $4,750

Scotty Cameron putters are hard to get your hands on but the putters he makes for professional players, Circle T, are even rarer! This tour only Phantom X T-22 prototype has a welded FloJet neck and twin 10g weights in the sole. Scotty doesn’t make the FloJet neck on a retail Phantom, so this is a true custom. The face and center section is made from a single piece of milled 6061 aluminum while the outer “wings” are milled from 303 stainless steel. This design creates a higher MOI design with plenty of stability to keep putts on their intended line.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.





Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
