By James Langmead on April 13, 2026

Quick Verdict: TaylorMade Cart Bags 2026

TaylorMade has produced one of the strongest cart bag ranges for 2026, with four distinct options that cover every budget, priority, and playing condition.

Prices run from £149 for the value-focused Pro Cart up to £249 for the fully waterproof StormDry. All four bags are 14-way divided and built specifically for trolley use. Whether you want the lightest bag possible, the best value, a premium feel, or all-weather protection, there is a TaylorMade cart bag designed precisely for you. PGA professional Mark Crossfield has tested and reviewed all four bags, and you will find his insights throughout this guide.

Mark Crossfield’s Take: “Value for money, the Pro Cart from TaylorMade. 2.5 kg, still super light. Comes in just over £150, so it’s one of the best value in the list. Super lightweight. Different colours available. Loads of pocket space. Love the 14-way divider. Well-made bag.”

Mark was impressed by how much bag you get for the money here. The 14-way divider and multiple colour options are features you would expect at a higher price point.

14-Way Top with Full-Length Dividers

Every club gets its own slot. Full-length dividers mean no tangling, no scratching, and easy access when you are reaching for a mid-iron on the move.

8 Pockets, including 3 Front-Facing

The Pro Cart has 8 pockets in total, including three unique front-facing pockets designed for quick access while the bag is on a trolley. A full-zip valuables pocket and a 360-degree zip-off ball pocket round out the storage.

Dedicated Multi-Tee Holder

A small but genuinely useful feature. No more digging around for tees mid-round. TaylorMade have built in a dedicated holder so they are always to hand.

Pushcart-Compatible Base with Single Carry Strap

The key-lock base keeps the bag secure on virtually any trolley frame. A single shoulder strap makes short carries between car and trolley straightforward.

Mark Crossfield’s Take: “It’s so ridiculously light, which does make a difference when you’re pulling it around the golf course, moving it in and out of the car, and in and out of your house. Good-looking bag. Nice TaylorMade branding. I’m loving the light version.”

Mark’s reaction to the Cart Lite was immediate. The weight reduction is noticeable from the moment you pick it up, and he highlighted that this pays off consistently – not just on the course, but every day you handle the bag.

11 Strategically Placed Pockets

The Cart Lite leads the range for storage. All 11 pockets are designed to remain accessible while the bag is strapped to a trolley. No more undoing the bag from the trolley to reach something at the back.

Large Integrated Cooler Pocket

An insulated compartment built into the bag keeps drinks cold throughout the round. A nice touch that most bags in this price range lack.

Oversized Putter Well

The dedicated oversized putter well comfortably accommodates modern putters with thicker grips. No more forcing a SuperStroke or similar grip through a tight slot.

360-Degree Zip-Off Ball Pocket

Easy ball access from any angle. The zip-off design also provides a panel ideal for custom embroidery if you want to personalise the bag.

Rain Hood Included

A rain hood is included as standard to protect clubs during wet conditions. Combined with the lightweight build, this covers most golfers for most rounds.

Specifications

• Weight: 2.2 kg
• Pockets: 11
• Dividers: 14-way
• Putter Well: Dedicated oversized
• Base: Push-cart enabled, anti-twist design
• Cooler Pocket: Yes – large integrated cooler

• Price: £179

Mark Crossfield’s Take: “You can feel the quality of the material. That’s why it’s heavier. Like, the materials – you can really see that quality in there. It does feel super deluxe. It’s going to last. It looks pretty fancy.”

Mark did note honestly that the weight is a factor: “It is heavy. Moving this about, I wouldn’t be that keen.” That is the trade-off in plain language. But for golfers who leave the bag on the trolley and prioritise longevity and premium feel, the Deluxe delivers.

Durable Polytube Construction with Anti-Wear Patch

The Deluxe is built from premium polytube materials with an anti-wear patch specifically designed to resist friction from trolley straps. This bag is built for years of use, not just a season.

Two Waterproof Fur-Lined Valuables Pockets

Your phone, wallet, and keys go in here. The fur lining protects against scratches. The waterproof construction keeps moisture out. Two separate pockets mean you can keep valuables separate from other items.

Extra-Large Putter Well with Three Full-Length Dividers

The 14-way top includes three full-length dividers and an extra-large integrated putter well – one of the most generous in TaylorMade’s range. No crowding, no contact between shafts.

Full-Length Umbrella Sheath and Towel Carabiner

A hidden integrated umbrella sleeve keeps your brolly secured and out of the way. The towel carabiner gives you a dedicated attachment point so your towel is always clipped and accessible.

Dedicated Range Finder Pocket

A specific-sized pocket for your range finder or GPS device. One of those little features that tells you the bag was designed by golfers who actually use these devices on the course.

Specifications

• Weight: 4.3 kg
• Pockets: 8 (including 2 waterproof fur-lined valuables pockets)
• Dividers: 14-way with 3 full-length dividers
• Putter Well: Extra-large integrated
• Base: Key-lock trolley base

Mark Crossfield’s Take: “If you just don’t want to get wet, you want to stay dry, then it has to be the StormDry waterproof bag. It’s got all the heat-sealed zips and material on this bag. It’s super good quality. And actually quite light for a waterproof cart bag.”

Mark was torn between the StormDry and the Cart Lite as his personal favourite. His take: “To me, I’d be between the waterproof one and the light. I’m just a sucker for as light as possible.” If you play no matter what the weather, the StormDry resolves any doubt.

Fully Waterproof Construction with Heat-Sealed Zips

This is the headline feature. The waterproof materials and seam-sealed zippers mean rain cannot get inside. Your valuables, electronics, spare gloves, and clothing all stay dry. The heat-sealed zips are the key – standard zips will let water in eventually; these will not.

14-Way Top with Dedicated Putter Well

All the club organisation you expect from TaylorMade, including a dedicated putter well to keep your putter separate and accessible at all times.

Full-Length Umbrella Sheath

An integrated hidden umbrella sleeve. Slightly ironic given the bag is already waterproof, but it means everything is in one place and your umbrella will not get in the way.

Ergonomic Grab Handle and Towel Carabiner

A fit-to-hand grab handle makes lifting and manoeuvring the bag easy. The towel carabiner provides a practical clip point to keep your towel accessible during the round.

Specifications

• Weight: 2.6 kg
• Pockets: 7
• Dividers: 14-way
• Putter Well: Dedicated
• Base: Push-cart enabled, trolley-secure
• Waterproof: Yes – full waterproof construction
• Zips: Heat-sealed / seam-sealed
• Umbrella Sheath: Full-length integrated
• Rain Hood: Included
• Price: £249

The TaylorMade Cart Lite is the lightest option at just 2.2 kg.

The Pro Cart is closed at 2.5 kg. The StormDry sits at 2.6 kg, which is impressive for a fully waterproof bag. The Deluxe is the heaviest at 4.3 kg. If weight is your deciding factor, the Cart Lite wins by a clear margin.

Yes. The StormDry uses heat-sealed zips and waterproof construction throughout the bag body.

This is a step beyond a standard water-resistant bag. Standard bags resist light rain but will eventually let water through at the zip seams. The StormDry’s heat-sealed zips prevent this. It is the only bag in the 2026 TaylorMade cart bag range with this level of protection.

Yes. All four bags in the 2026 TaylorMade cart bag range are specifically designed for use with trolleys and push carts.

Each bag features a push-cart-compatible base with a key-lock design to secure the bag to the trolley frame and prevent twisting or sliding during transit. The cart strap pass-thru keeps all pockets accessible even when the bag is strapped down. If you are looking for a compatible golf trolley, our full range is available on site.

The Cart Lite is lighter (2.2 kg vs 2.5 kg), has more pockets (11 vs 8), includes an integrated cooler, and comes with a rain hood. The Pro Cart costs £30 less at £149.

The Pro Cart wins on price and adds a dedicated tee holder and three front-facing pockets, making it particularly easy to access on a trolley. The Cart Lite wins on weight, storage, and extras like the cooler. For most golfers willing to spend £179, the Cart Lite is the stronger all-round package.

Two of the four bags come with a rain hood included: the Cart Lite and the StormDry.

The Pro Cart and Deluxe do not include a rain hood as standard. If you purchase the Pro Cart or Deluxe and play in variable conditions, it is worth browsing our golf accessories range for compatible rain hood options.

The Deluxe uses a premium polytube construction that is heavier than the materials used in the lighter bags, but it is built to last significantly longer.

As Mark Crossfield put it: “You can feel the quality of the material. That’s why it’s heavier.” The anti-wear patch, fur-lined waterproof pockets, and premium hardware all add to the weight. The trade-off is a bag that should outlast several cheaper alternatives by a considerable margin. For golfers who leave their bags on trolleys most of the time and prioritise longevity, that trade-off makes complete sense.

Mark Crossfield’s Overall Verdict: “Great cart bag range, something there for everyone. To me, I’d be between the waterproof one and the light. I’m just a sucker for as light as possible, personally, to make it always as easy as possible out there, and moving it around in and out of the car.”

Mark’s two top picks were the Cart Lite and the StormDry. If you play fair-weather golf, go Cart Lite. If you never cancel for rain, go StormDry. Simple as that.
