What GolfWRXers are saying about Bonobos golf clothing
In our forums, our members have been discussing Bonobos golf clothing after WRXer ‘rjp217’ dedicated a thread to the company after purchasing the brand’s ‘lightweight 5-pocket golf pants’. Per ‘rjp217’:
“These arrived yesterday, and I just have to say, wow, they’re tremendous. They’re super light, the cut is perfect, not too baggy or skin tight and the cuff opening is nice and small. Feels like I could easily get away with these in warmer golf weather and wear them to work, dinner, etc…
Anyhow, just a quick shoutout to Bonobos. Although it was risky to order a final sale/no return item in regard to size, worked out great for me. I’ll def be ordering again. It looks like they also have 20% military/teacher/student verification and 25% for referrals.”
Our members have been sharing their thoughts and experiences with the brand, with the vast majority being big fans of the products Bonobos produce.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- GolfChicago91: “Just got mine as well. Big fan so far. Light, comfy, and will be great for on the course or off. Looking forward to trying them. Fit is perfect, as well.”
- mitts7: “Took advantage on some golf shorts as well. I wasn’t sure how they would be, but they ended up being perfect. Absolutely love the, will probably buy more. Good fit, good quality!”
- Warrick: “I ordered the blue check and grey check in the Highland, $39 is a steal. They make nice stuff, have about ten pairs of golf pants, like the tech 5 pocket the best. They make nice dress clothes also, have some dress shirts, ties, a suit and top coat I got during the massive BF sale when they also did 20% cashback. If you find your size and fit, like having your own tailor.”
- Wallstreet1978: “I’m a huge fan of bonobos. I’m short (5’5”) and I like that I can get a 28-inch inseam on the pants and more importantly 8-inch inseam in the shorts. I wish I knew of others that offered 8 inch in seams as well.”

Rickie Fowler’s new putter: Standard-length Odyssey Jailbird 380 in custom orange
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
