Updated Policy
For tickets purchased on or after 17 July 2019, sporting equipment bags/items are treated like normal bags, except they get max dimensions of 115 instead of 62 linear inches. Normal oversized/overweight fees apply as a normal bag if exceeding the new standard limits.

Delta customers traveling with surfboards, bicycles, golf clubs, scuba gear and other large-sized sporting equipment will now be allowed to check them as part of their standard baggage allowance.
The airline is eliminating the $150 specialty sports bag fee previously charged for these items, effective for travel worldwide on tickets purchased beginning July 17, 2019. Customers will instead pay a first, second or third checked bag fee according to the fare rules associated with their booking and/or SkyMiles Medallion status.
Complete checked baggage fee detail, including the new sporting equipment fees, can be found at
Delta.com. Due to space limitations, acceptance and charges may vary for itineraries on a Delta Connection carrier.
