Rowdy by Nature: The Story Behind The Phoenix Collection
Billy AnnesleyShare
Some ideas hit and just don’t let go. That’s exactly how The Phoenix Collection came to life.
With the WM Phoenix Open around the corner, I wanted to capture something that no other tournament in golf has—the wild, unapologetic, high-energy chaos of Hole 16. This isn’t your quiet Sunday round. This is where golf gets Rowdy by Nature.
And that’s exactly what Bantee is all about.
Golf Is More Than a Game—It’s a Lifestyle
At Bantee, we’ve never believed golf has to be traditional, stiff, or exclusive. The game is evolving, and we’re here for it. Golf is loud. It’s fun. It’s meant to be experienced with your crew.
That’s why The Phoenix Collection isn’t just a design—it’s a mindset. It’s for the players who throw on a hoodie instead of a polo, the ones who bring the energy whether they’re teeing it up or just enjoying the vibes.
If you’re the type who’d rather talk trash with your friends, celebrate every putt, and embrace golf for the good times as much as the grind, this collection is for you.
The Design – Inspired by the Loudest Hole in Golf
Hole 16 at TPC Scottsdale is the perfect representation of what we’re building at Bantee. It’s golf without the quiet part—where fans don’t just watch the game, they become part of it. I wanted to bring that same unmatched energy into this collection:
- 🔥 Desert vibes with a vintage twist – Cacti, sun, and a colorway that screams Phoenix golf.
- 🔥 Big, bold typography – Because quiet isn’t an option when you’re Rowdy by Nature.
- 🔥 Streetwear meets golf – A collection that looks just as good on the course as it does off of it.
Once the design clicked, I knew this had to be a full drop.
The Phoenix Collection – Made for Golfers Who Get It
This limited-edition drop is for the ones who bring the energy, passion, and personality to the game. Golf is meant to be played, talked about, and lived—and this collection represents that.
- ⛳ Tees & Hoodies – Comfort meets hype. Wear it on the course or out with the crew.
- ⛳ Rope Hats – Classic golf, but with an edge.
- ⛳ Crewnecks – For those early tee times and cool desert mornings.
For the Golfers Who Bring the Energy
At Bantee, we’re building a golf community that’s about more than scorecards and swing tips. It’s about the rounds, the memories, and the people who make golf what it is.
Rowdy by Nature isn’t just a tagline—it’s how we play the game.
