You don’t have to look too far in the Wayback car to see youtube, especially when it comes to Golf content creators, was home to DTC brands and some OEMs that coexist only in the largest CCS (Creators of content with a ‘C’ capital). Goodgood and Bob makes sports were with Callaway, Fore Play and Horvat Are Bryan Bros in stable Tayormade. And (just to show that he doesn’t show favorites?) Horvat recently signed with Takomo.
It was apparently missing from the Grab Creator of great content (as it is further known) was probably the most respected brand in Golf.
Title, “#1 (Ball) in Golf”, is no longer missing.
At the beginning of this year, the title signed I and my golf (Andy and Piers), Micah Morris (outside his Taylormade deal), and – mostly in the eyes of this author –Peter Finch. While Andy, Piers and Micah are all reconciled channels in the channels, was the Finchy signature that took me the most startling.
For years, I have loved Peter Series “Build my bag”. Because he was always in the agnostic brand and tested almost every new omissions that came out, he would identify several clubs in each category (driver, Fairway Woods, Irons, Wedges, Putter and Ball) that he really liked and then took them on the course for a “Battle Royale” (said with a mancenster), Head- (Literal) with the head, and the winner would win next season to win a future season. It was a really fun and unique way to try a new product, an emphasis on youtube space every year.
So when he announced – via a Video of delightful notice And one really fantastic appropriate video On the TPI title list (Carlsbad, California Institute of Title Performance)-that he was leaving behind my beloved “Build My Bag” series and signing with the title to be his only club provider (and balls, hats, and bags, etc.), he came as a little friend.
It was evident that the title was making some great moves for selectively Sign some highly respected CCs and do not allow other OEMs to get all the conversation points. Their strategy is clear to carefully identify those creative ones that best represent such an eternal and classic brand.
Therefore, the question is “why now?”
Go big or go home
While CCS, for years, has enjoyed the club’s agreement with many different companies, has been relatively in the background.
Let’s take a look at the possible reasons that the Titightist is making such a push on YouTube.
Of course, while looking at Good Good/Bob makes sports guys at the Callaway Gear or the first game crew in Taylormade items is relatively common, most of Golf Gear’s “respected reviewers” were almost always brand-agnostic. Rick Shiels, Peter Finch, James Robinson and more CCSs who derive a lot of content from the reviews, historically, have stayed away from signing with golf equipment companies. They have all cheated in other deals, you have in mind: clothing, shoes, golf carts, etc.
Honestly, makes sense: if you are someone like James Robinsonwho renowned gives new videos every dayBy signing a deal to play alone A The club brand severely limits your content potential.
So, to see someone in the stature of Finch, not only at the base of the subscribers, but in the general cachet on YouTube, signing with a brand, let alone one of the most respected brands in the entire golf, tells me that the title is versatile in the front of the CC.
My golf and I are one of the leading Golf teachers across YouTube. Micah Morris, once with good good and trying to do it as a professional golf player, is a greater equalizes
The title also has a partnership with no extension dating back to January 2023 – that provided a relationship with the best Podcast in Golf. NLU also has a very respected channel on YouTubewhich has submitted visits to TPI and A series of title content entitled “Finding Feel” released last Mars.
With these signatures, the title has made it clear that they are not ready to sit and wait anymore. They will go after the newest crowd of golf in a way they have never tried before. That brings us to point no. 2.
PGA Tour players just not enough
The Ambassadors of the PGA Tour are some of the most popular in the world: Ludwig åberg, Wyndham Clark, Justin Thomas, Tom Kim, Jordan Spieth, etc.
While this formation is enviable (especially taking into account the victory of åberg in the beginning last week), it does not have the power of the star that once made (Max Homa recently by signing with Cobra is just the last example).
Also, if TV estimates More and more people have to be trusted, they are actually watching Golf through YouTube than traditional channels. More than three million awarded in the last round of Genesis to see åberg the battle below the extension, which was considered a “Success of mass estimates“Wonderful! However, the month ago in Amex, the conclusion was withdrawn more than 10x less—To are not all roses.
Meanwhile, in a report from last June, had More than 4.3 milliard (With a ‘B’) view of Golf videos on YouTube.
If you are bad in mathematics, let me help: Watching Golf on YouTube> PGA TV View.
So the measure to sign some of the most respected/most viewed personalities on YouTube has a common and financial total meaning. Increase your awareness of the brand, ultimately increase.
Gifts that continue to give
If you have been on the title website in recent years, you will see ”#Teamittleist“It’s one of the items presented on the main menu and the hashtag is across the internet. Team title is a free membership program for players who love the Golf equipment for the title, where members have access to exclusive events, product testing and other benefits.
Adding a Youtube CC link which are #teamitleist is a favorable situation: CCs are accessing the title member list and the title has access to hundreds of thousands of weekly viewers watching videos on these newly signed creators.
Not only that, but there is an integrated feeling of the community, as now all of us random random who have agreed on #teamitleist (yes, yours is really a member-hey, it is free! Leave me alone!) Get to root in these CCs that have signed with the “Internal Team”. If you weren’t already a fan of Peter Finch, let’s say, wouldn’t you be more interested in his videos if you see them promoted in an email directly from the title?
Videodo Video promotes title, any email from #teamitleist promotes CCS.
And because the title encourages amateur players and content makers to share their experiences using title products through hashtags like #teamitleist, this strategy not only strengthens the brand visibility, but further promotes a sense of community among those who use hashtag – “I’m like them!”
Back-scars and educational content
The title works with the impacts to create back-tons content such as factory tournaments or product development knowledge. Moreover, they cooperate on educational content, such as tips on improving your game, which positions the title as an authority in the Golf industry.
For the future
The title is expanding its presence on platforms like Tiktok and Instagram Reels collaborating with creators producing short -shaped content, engaging. This helps the brand to achieve the newest, technology audience, which are increasingly interested in golf.
More and more young people are finding all their golf-related content through these platforms-see that “billion” reference-is surprising. Large OEMs are relying on this, whether they want it or not, this is the genuine definition of “influencers”. These people can move the needle further and faster than any tournament starEven someone as future as åberg.
Entering now with some well -respected CCs whose content is already reaching several hundred thousand views for video, they are assuring themselves that future viewers will see that title is not Only brands that their parents and grandparents play, but brands are also playing their favorite teachers, players and creators.
Where does the title go from here?
I really believe this is just the beginning of the title loss in the space of the Creator of Content. I predict that they will continue to go after big names currently in space and aim for young people, riding, future talent with the audience still growing up to cease themselves as the brand of young people and the elderly.
Note my words: The title will soon be “brand #1 in (YouTube) Golf”.
