Well, polish your putter and fluff your fringe, you fairway-flogging fanatics—Stix Golf and Nicklaus™ have teamed up to drop their first club sets, and I’m more jazzed than a caddie with a cooler full of contraband at the turn! Launched April 2, 2025, this “Greatness Made Simple” collab—prices ranging from $699 to $1,499—marries Stix’s minimalist mojo with Jack Nicklaus’s legacy of crushing it, promising premium sticks that won’t have you hocking your hybrid for a burger. I’ve been shanking balls since my swing was more mulligan than magic, so let’s slice into this golden gear and see if it’s my ticket to glory—or just a fancy way to fluff my flop.

The Stix Golf and Nicklaus™ collaboration, announced on April 2, 2025, introduced four distinct club sets available for purchase at stix.golf. The partnership blends Nicklaus Companies’ heritage of excellence with Stix’s mission to simplify golf through high-quality, affordable equipment. The sets include the Nicklaus™ Essentials ($699), a 9-club package for beginners with a driver, 3-wood, 5-hybrid, 6-PW irons, 56° wedge, and mallet putter; the Nicklaus™ Women’s ($899), a 10-club set tailored for casual to intermediate female golfers with a driver, 3-wood, 5- and 6-hybrids, 7-PW irons, 56° wedge, and mallet putter; and two Compete sets—Nicklaus™ Compete and Stix Compete ($1,499 each), 14-club offerings for confident players featuring an adjustable carbon driver, 3-wood, 4-hybrid, 4-PW irons, 52°, 56°, and 60° wedges, and a mallet putter.
The Essentials set targets new golfers and budget-conscious players, delivering a streamlined package with a golf bag included, designed for ease and enjoyment. The Women’s set emphasizes forgiveness and consistency, crafted with lightweight materials to suit female players, also bundled with a bag. The Compete sets elevate the game with advanced features: the adjustable driver offers an 8-10° loft range with a carbon crown and premium shaft, while the irons boast a two-piece construction with high-strength AM355P steel for a flex face and spring effect, enhancing power without sacrificing control. The Nicklaus™ Compete sports classic silver heads with Jack’s signature, while the Stix Compete retains the brand’s signature black finish, both including premium PU leather headcovers and a branded golf bag.
Announced in October 2024, this collaboration debuted at the 2025 PGA Show, with public availability starting April 2, 2025. Stix’s direct-to-consumer model keeps costs accessible, and the sets support the Play Yellow Campaign for children’s charities, reflecting Nicklaus’s giving-back ethos. The Compete sets mark Stix’s return to a full 14-club offering, evolving from their minimalist roots with upgraded materials and design, while the Essentials and Women’s sets cater to growing demographics, aligning with both brands’ goal to make golf inclusive and fun.
