HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., – SRIXON® is proud to announce a new partnership with Malbon Golf for the inaugural Malbon Buckets Cup Tour, a first-of-its-kind competitive golf series designed to bring together top amateurs, professionals, and influential voices from across the game.
“We built the Buckets Cup Tour to blur the lines between traditional competition and modern expression,” said Stephen Malbon, Founder of Malbon Golf. “It’s about creating a space where performance, personality, and community can all live together, and Srixon was the right partner to help bring that vision to life.”
The Malbon Buckets Cup Tour will travel to premier golf destinations nationwide, delivering a high-level competitive experience while embracing Malbon’s distinctive, culture-forward approach to the game, and Srixon’s commitment to supporting golfers who are obsessed with the grind and driven by competition.
As the official equipment partner, Srixon, Cleveland Golf, and XXIO will be onsite at every Buckets Cup Tour stop, providing players with access to premium equipment and immersive brand experiences throughout the season. All participants will receive Srixon golf balls, reinforcing a consistent performance standard across the field.
Each event will award cash prizes, along with Malbon Golf merchandise. Winners at each tour stop will also receive a custom Cleveland Golf RTZ Wedge, designed exclusively to commemorate their Buckets Cup Tour victory. Season-long points will be awarded throughout the tour and count towards the Malbon Buckets Cup Championship.
To compete, participants must join the Buckets Club membership, which unlocks access to event entry. Division winners will automatically qualify for the Championship, while top point earners will secure their spots in the 40-player finale, competing for a $100,000 purse. The Championship winner will also earn a Srixon Staffer Deal, including a full 14-club bag, soft goods, and golf balls.
“The Bucket Cups Tour represents where the game is headed; competitive, creative, and community-driven,” said Chris Kircher, Srixon Vice President of Marketing. “Partnering with Malbon allows us to support a series that challenges convention, while staying rooted in performance at a high level.”
Srixon’s evolving brand voice is rooted in serving players who are constantly chasing improvement, performance, and a competitive edge. Events like the Malbon Buckets Cup Tour allow Srixon to show up at the intersection of competitive performance and the modern culture of golf, supporting golfers who demand more from their equipment and from themselves.
The Malbon Buckets Cup Tour reflects a shared commitment to pushing golf forward, creating new pathways for emerging talent, and celebrating the evolving culture surrounding the game.
