A golf bag comprises: a bag body adapted to tilt in a forward direction with a front side and a back side opposite, having an inner storage rack which comprises a top frame, a lower frame connected to the top frame by a plurality of frame rods, an engaging body with an upper portion and a lower portion, the engaging body having a retainer projection extending outward from the lower frame of the bag body and a release projection extending outward from the lower frame of the bag body, a base frame, which contacts with the ground under the bag, and a joint block for stably coupling the lower frame and the base frame at the back side of the bag body; a tilting device, pivotably connected to an exterior front side of the base frame comprising a tilt control body having a notch and a retainer formed in an upper portion, a passage formed interior of a lower portion, a pair of steel wires extending upward from said upper portion, a moveable release shank, disposed interior of the passage in said lower portion of said tilt control body, and having a control foot at a lower portion thereof to push the release shank to move up and down relative to the tilt control body; and a support, having an upper portion attached to an exterior front side of the top frame by a first pivot, a middle portion attached to an upper end of each of the pair of steel wires, and a lower portion for contacting the ground to support the bag body in a tilted position; wherein when the bag body is in an upright position the tilt control body engages with the engaging body to support the front side of the golf bag in the upright position, and when the top of the bag body is tilted toward the front side, the control foot contacts a ground surface and pushes the release shank upward, causing the tilt control body to disengage from the engaging body thereby deploying said support to stabilize the golf bag in a tilted position; and wherein the base frame remains in full contact with the ground, both when the bag body is in the upright position and when the bag body is in a tilted position.
