HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Jan. 30, 2026 – 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. 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.Stephen Malbon, Founder of Malbon Golf
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. Partnering with Malbon allows us to support a series that challenges convention, while staying rooted in performance at a high level.Chris Kircher, Srixon Vice President of Marketing
