Staff WriterIf your golf trousers have ever felt like they were stitched together by someone who’s never tried to read a putt in a crosswind, PUMA GOLF believes it has your new happy place. The brand has unveiled the 101 Premier pants and shorts, a fresh collection of golf bottoms designed to perform on the course and still look the part when you’re grabbing lunch after you’ve “nearly” broken 80.
At the heart of the launch is PUMA’s new LUXKNIT fabric, a refined material engineered for four-way stretch, breathable comfort, and shape retention—the holy trinity for anyone who actually swings a club rather than simply poses next to one. The idea is simple: move freely through your round, stay comfortable when the temperature climbs, and avoid that end-of-day “why do my trousers look like I slept in them?” effect.
And there’s a practical streak running through this collection too. The stretch waistband includes a rubber gripper to keep everything secure and comfortably in place—useful when your swing tempo gets a bit enthusiastic on the back nine. There’s also a discreet fifth coin pocket, which is a polite way of saying you’ll have somewhere safe for on-the-go essentials, whether that’s a ball marker, tees, or the lucky coin you pretend doesn’t matter.
“The construction of the 101 Premier collection is a breakthrough in materials, look and performance,” said Chris MacNeill, Director of Golf Apparel and Accessories at PUMA Golf. “Players want pants that look great both on and off the course, and the 101 Premier Pants are made to wear just about anywhere.”
A fit menu that finally respects the fact humans come in different shapes
Here’s where the 101 Premier Pants start separating themselves from the usual “slim, slimmer, why?” options. They’re offered in Trouser and 5-Pocket styles, with the same fit across both—so you can pick your vibe without gambling on sizing. Waist sizes run 28” to 40” (in 2” increments) with 30”, 32” and 34” inseams, aiming to make “close enough” a thing of the past.
Color choice is similarly generous: seven options for the Trouser design and six for the 5-Pocket. Translation: whether you like classic, understated, or something that pops a bit more than your playing partner’s excuses, there’s room to find your lane.
Shorts that look sharp at address and still feel good by the 18th
The 101 Premier Shorts follow the same playbook—LUXKNIT fabric, performance-first build, and a serious commitment to fit. They come in 7” to 10” lengths and 28” to 42” waist sizing (again in 2” increments), which should cover most golfers who’ve ever had to choose between “too tight” and “too long.”
Even better, the shorter 7” and 8” models offer up to 11 color options, so you’re not stuck rotating the same two shades all summer.
“The new 101 Premier Shorts lineup is our most comprehensive and best offering to date,” added MacNeill. “Our goal was to design shorts that could provide an outstanding look and fit for the widest range of players, and the extensive combination of sizing options and colors allow players to find the perfect shorts for their taste and body type.”
Price, release date, and where to buy
The new 101 Premier pants are priced at $108, with the 101 Premier shorts at $88. Both will be available at retail and online at pumagolf.com on January 26.
For golfers who want kit that performs when you’re grinding over a five-footer—and still looks presentable when you’re telling the story later—PUMA GOLF is making a confident case that your next favourite pair of bottoms might finally exist.
