The Sunday Golf Big Rig is a bag caught my attention because, honestly, most golf bags either hold nothing or weigh a ton; this one manages to do neither!
Here's the thing about the Big Rig: it weighs just 3.5 pounds. That's about as heavy as a laptop, which means you can actually walk 18 holes without feeling like you've been hauling cement blocks. Sunday Golf designed this bag with a carbon fiber stand system – basically, they use the same material that race cars have, but for holding up your golf bag. Pretty neat, right?
The bag holds 14 clubs with individual dividers, so your irons won't bang into each other like bumper cars every time you walk. Each divider runs the full length of the bag, which keeps your grips from getting tangled up. You know that annoying moment when you try to pull out your 7-iron and three other clubs come with it? Yeah, that won't happen here.
The Sunday Golf Big Rig Golf Bag stands out as a spacious, heavy-duty cart bag designed for golfers who need ample storage and easy club access. With a full-length 14-way molded top, oversized pockets, and high-quality zippers, it’s built for convenience and durability on every round.
Let me start with what sold me: the custom 14-way top with an anti-catch putter slot. I've tested dozens of cart bags that claim to have "tangle-free" dividers, and most of them are lying. You know the drill – you're trying to grab your 7-iron quickly, and suddenly three other clubs come along for the ride like they're attached at the hip. The Big Rig's divider system uses full-length tubes that run the entire height of the bag, not those half-hearted dividers that stop halfway down and let your graphite shafts play sword fight in the bottom. The 14-way top features rubber sides that provide extra grip and protection for your club shafts during insertion and removal.
The anti-catch putter slot deserves its own paragraph. It's positioned at an angle that naturally guides the putter in without snagging on the other dividers. I tested this with both a blade and a mallet putter (yes, I switch depending on how badly I'm putting), and both slide in smoothly every single time. The rigid top construction means the dividers don't collapse when the bag is half-empty, either – something that drives me crazy with cheaper bags.
What really impressed me is how the dividers are sized appropriately for different clubs. The driver and fairway wood slots are wider, the iron sections are uniform, and there's dedicated space for wedges that keeps them from rattling against each other. After pulling clubs in and out hundreds of times during testing, I haven't seen a single scuff mark on any grip. That's not something I can say about my previous TaylorMade cart bag that cost twice as much.
Sunday Golf claims twelve pockets, and before you roll your eyes thinking "who needs twelve pockets," hear me out. Every single one has a purpose, and they're positioned where you actually need them. The two large vented apparel pockets can swallow a rain jacket and an extra shirt without bulging. I stuffed my entire rain suit in one side and still had room for a windbreaker. The bag also includes a magnetic valuables pocket that securely holds your watch, wedding ring, or coins without worrying about them falling out during transport.
The hidden small-item pockets are genius. One sits inside the apparel pocket (perfect for car keys you don't want jangling around), and another is tucked behind the ball pocket. I use that one for tees and ball markers – things I need constantly but don't want taking up prime real estate. The two easy-access zip pockets on the sides are where I keep my scorecard, pencils, and that emergency sleeve of ProV1s for when I'm hemorrhaging balls on a windy day.
But let's talk about the elephant in the room – the smell-proof organizer pocket. Yes, you read that right. Sunday Golf knows their audience includes younger golfers who might want to keep certain... herbal accessories... discreet. I don't partake myself, but I tested it with some particularly pungent cheese from my lunch (don't judge), and it completely contained the smell. It's also perfect for keeping wet gloves or a muddy towel separated from everything else.
I've saved the best feature for its own section because the insulated cooler pocket is a breakthrough. It holds seven cans comfortably – I tested with standard 12oz cans and slim cans, both fit perfectly. The insulation actually works; I loaded it with ice and beers at 7 AM for an early round, and by the 19th hole at 2 PM, the last beer was still legitimately cold. Not "cool," but actually cold.
The pocket is positioned at the perfect height when the bag is on a cart. You don't have to bend down awkwardly or reach up high – it's right at hand level. The zipper is waterproof, so melting ice doesn't leak into other compartments (learned that lesson the hard way with a previous bag). There's even a small drain port at the bottom if you need to empty melted ice without removing everything.
Here's what really sold me: on hot days, I throw a frozen water bottle in there in the morning. It keeps the other drinks cold longer and gives me ice-cold water on the back nine when the sun is brutal. Try doing that with your typical cart bag's "beverage pocket," that's basically just a mesh holder.
When Sunday Golf says "premium materials," they're not just throwing marketing buzzwords around. The water-resistant vegan leather on my Matte Black edition looks and feels like something from a luxury car interior. After two months of use, including getting caught in three separate rainstorms, there's not a single water stain or discoloration. The material wipes clean with a damp cloth – mud, grass stains, even bird droppings (thanks, cart barn sparrows) come right off.
The zippers deserve special mention. They're YKK with embossed Sunday Golf branding, and they glide like butter. Even the cooler pocket zipper, which has to deal with condensation and temperature changes, hasn't stuck once. Compare that to my buddy's Callaway bag, where half the zippers feel like they're fighting you after six months.
The rainhood that comes standard (not a $40 add-on like some brands) uses the same premium material as the bag. It fits snugly without being a wrestling match to get on and off. The velour-lined prized pocket is soft enough that I trust my rangefinder and phone in there without cases. Even the towel loops use thick, reinforced webbing instead of cheap elastic that stretches out after a season.
At seven pounds, the Big Rig sits in that sweet spot – light enough that lifting it in and out of your trunk doesn't require a warmup, but substantial enough that it doesn't tip over when fully loaded. This weight range matches what you'd find in premium cart bag designs from brands like Vessel that typically weigh between 5 and 7 pounds. The single strap system might seem basic compared to dual-strap options, but it's perfectly balanced. The padding is thick without being bulky, and the strap attachment points are reinforced with bar-tacked stitching that could probably support twice the weight.
The built-in carrying handles are positioned exactly where you grab the bag naturally. There's one on top for vertical lifting and another on the side for horizontal carrying. Both are padded and wide enough that they don't dig into your hands when the bag is fully loaded. The Duraflex stand system locks solidly when activated, but folds completely flat when on a cart.
What impressed me most was how stable this bag is on a cart. The base is designed to sit flat without any wobble, and the strap pass-through doesn't interfere with any pocket access. I've used it on everything from new Club Car models to beat-up rental carts, and it fits perfectly on all of them. The full-length dividers mean clubs don't shift and rattle even on bumpy cart paths.
The Sunday Golf Big Rig Golf Bag stands out as a spacious, heavy-duty cart bag designed for golfers who need ample storage and easy club access. With a full-length 14-way molded top, oversized pockets, and high-quality zippers, it’s built for convenience and durability on every round.
You can't bring the Sunday Golf Big Rig as a carry-on since it exceeds standard airline size limits at 36 inches tall. You'll need to check it as sports equipment or oversized luggage, which typically incurs additional fees. The bag doesn't fit in Sunday Golf's current travel covers, so you'll want to purchase a separate protective case or padding to safeguard it during airline handling and transport.
You'll get a lifetime warranty for your Big Rig golf bag that covers defects in materials or workmanship from your purchase date. This warranty applies if you're the original owner and includes replacement or repair for manufacturing defects. However, some regions offer only a 12-month warranty instead, so you should check with customer support or your local retailer to confirm the specific warranty terms that apply in your area.
Your Big Rig bag can fit in most standard golf cart holders, though it'll be tight on some models. At 15-17 inches wide, it's at the upper limit of what typical holders accommodate. You won't have issues with major cart brands, but narrower holders might squeeze the bag. The manufacturer specifically designed it for cart use, and there aren't any reported compatibility problems. It's best suited for riding rather than walking rounds.
You won't find specific manufacturing location details publicly disclosed for the Big Rig bag. While Sunday Golf is headquartered in San Diego, California, they don't explicitly state where production occurs. The company emphasizes its California design roots and premium materials rather than factory origins. Without "Made in USA" claims on their marketing, it's likely manufactured overseas like most golf bags, but Sunday Golf hasn't confirmed this publicly.
Based on available information, Sunday Golf doesn't appear to offer replacement parts for the Big Rig bag. You won't find replacement straps, rain hoods, or other components listed on their website. The bag's designed as an all-in-one unit without a modular parts system. If you need repairs, you'll likely need to contact Sunday Golf's customer service directly or seek third-party golf bag repair services for any maintenance issues.
The Sunday Golf Big Rig isn't just another cart bag trying to look cool – it's a legitimate performer that happens to look fantastic. If you're a golfer who plays year-round, values organization, and appreciates quality construction, this bag delivers on every promise. It's particularly perfect for younger golfers who want premium features without the country club aesthetic, or anyone tired of their drinks being warm by the fifth hole.
Is it worth $350? If you're playing once a month and storing your bag in the garage between rounds, probably not. But if you're out there three times a week like I am, the Big Rig's durability, functionality, and thoughtful design make it a bargain compared to constantly replacing cheaper bags that fall apart. Sunday Golf has created something special here – a cart bag that ultimately gets everything right.
