Athlon Sports explores Turtleson’s annual Mystery Box tradition in an October 29, 2026 feature by Senior Golf Writer Brendon Elliott.
A tradition built on surprise
The story traces the promotion to its start in 2018 and explains the idea behind it: customers choose their size, while Turtleson selects an assortment of four polos. Elliott considers the appeal of trying colors and patterns a shopper might otherwise pass by, alongside the practical questions that come with a surprise assortment.
The feature also includes comments from co-founder Greg Oakley about the team’s enjoyment of putting the boxes together and helping customers discover a new favorite.
