Golf Has Never Been Cooler: How the Sport Conquered Pop Culture
Golf Has Never Been Cooler: How the Sport Conquered Pop Culture originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Golf used to be all stuffy country clubs and "quiet on the tee." Now? Travis Scott's dropping sold-out golf shoes and Snoop Dogg's talking about bringing more flavor to Augusta. Advertisement It's been incredible to watch. Sure, some golf traditionalists probably hate it, but honestly? I'm here for all of it. There is a place for the games tradition, and most who have started embracing golf over the past few years respect that. Here's the thing, though: if you stay stagnant, you die, or at least fade away into obscurity. I say respect and honor the tradition but embrace the new and exciting! I'm a PGA Professional, and I've watched this whole thing unfold. The sport I love has spent decades keeping people out with unspoken rules and intimidating traditions. What's happening now isn't just cool—it's necessary if golf wants to survive. Go to TopGolf any Friday night. You'll find people in their twenties drinking cocktails and smashing balls to Drake songs. Zero hushed reverence. Zero stuffy dress codes. This definitely isn't the golf your grandfather played, and that's precisely what makes it exciting. Advertisement I'll be unpacking all of this on Athlon Sports over the next few months—how pop culture is completely changing what golf looks like. Hip-Hop Owns Golf Now Tyler the Creator made golf part of his brand with Golf Wang. Golf polos became as cool as Supreme drops. Travis Scott took it further—his Nike golf shoes sell out faster than concert tickets. His Air Jordan 1 Low Golf "Neutral Olive" proved golf gear could be functional and fashionable. DJ Khaled recently teased a full Cactus Jack x Nike Golf collection. When golf collaborations generate sneaker-level hype, you know something major shifted. Snoop Dogg says golf needs more "cool." He's positioning himself as hip-hop's golf ambassador, pushing for outreach to inner cities to find "the next Tiger." When Snoop calls the sport "garbage" without Tiger Woods, he's highlighting why diverse representation matters. Advertisement I'll be exploring hip-hop's full impact on golf fashion and culture in upcoming pieces. Country Music Gets It Country artists and golf make perfect sense. Darius Rucker has hosted charity tournaments for over a decade. Jake Owen nearly went pro before an injury led him to music. Luke Combs loves golf so much that he gets featured on U.S. Open broadcasts. Country music and golf share values: outdoor recreation, competition, community. This crossover deserves its own deep dive, which I'll provide in future coverage. Bill Murray, left, and Darius Rucker pose during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in Pebble Beach, Calif., on Feb. 4, 2022. (Bill Streicher/USA TODAY Sports) Athletes Cross Over Michael Jordan's golf obsession is legendary. But Stephen Curry showed how golf complements other sports. His skills and youth golf initiatives prove the sport can be aspirational and accessible. Advertisement Tony Romo went from NFL quarterback to serious golfer with professional attempts. As someone who's worked with athletes transitioning to golf, their competitive drive inspires new demographics to pick up clubs. I'll examine specific athlete success stories and their cultural impact in upcoming articles. Michael Jordan watches Luke Donald during U.S. Open sectional qualifying at The Bears Club in Jupiter, Fla., on June 8, 2015. (Allen Eyestone/The Palm Beach Post via Imagn Content Services, LLC) Hollywood Embraces the Course Bill Murray's Pro-Am antics have become legendary. The American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe is now must-watch TV. These events prove golf doesn't need to be serious to be compelling. When celebrities negotiate golf time into contracts or play before dawn to fit rounds in, they're saying golf is worth prioritizing. Advertisement Social Media Changed Everything Grant Horvat celebrates after winning the Content Creator Classic with a birdie putt on the par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass on March 12, 2025. (Garry Smits/The Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Golf's digital transformation democratized access like traditional media never could. Paige Spiranac built massive followings by making golf approachable. Good Good Golf turned golf into Netflix-level entertainment. TikTok created viral golf moments reaching audiences who might never visit traditional courses. As a PGA Professional, social media creators revolutionized golf instruction. They made golf feel accessible and fun when the traditional industry struggled for decades. I'll profile the most influential golf content creators and analyze how they're reshaping participation. Advertisement TopGolf Reimagined Golf TopGolf and Drive Shack reimagined golf as a social entertainment experience, rather than a solitary sport. When you can enjoy golf with friends over drinks and music, exclusivity barriers crumble. Golf Stays Cool, Gets Inclusive Golf maintained its aspirational appeal while becoming inclusive. It still represents success and leisure, but isn't confined to one demographic anymore. When DJ Khaled posts "Let's Go Golfing" to millions or Travis Scott hosts charity tournaments, they're redefining who belongs in golf culture. Jimmy Fallon, left, and DJ Khaled talk to the media at Edgewood Tahoe on Friday, July 12, 2024, ahead of their four-hole golf exhibition. (Jim Krajewski/RGJ / USA TODAY NETWORK) Golf embraced personality, style, and social media. The sport that once had strict dress codes now celebrates Travis Scott's backward Swoosh designs. Advertisement As a PGA Professional passionate about growing the game, this renaissance represents everything I hoped to see. Increasing multiculturalism and accessibility aren't just good business—they're essential for survival. When young people of all backgrounds get excited about golf because their favorite artist plays, we're headed in the right direction. Golf's cultural shift isn't about celebrity endorsements or social buzz—it's a fundamental move toward inclusivity. When hip-hop artists, country stars, and influencers find common ground on the course, golf figured out how to be aspirational and welcoming. Over the coming months on Athlon Sports, I'll explore each crossover in detail—celebrity athletes influencing participation, music and movies reshaping golf's image, individual influencers redefining what it means to be a golfer. This is just the beginning. Related: From Norwich to En-Joie: How a Small-Town Kid's Love Affair with the B.C.

Friends from Appleby watch Less Than Jake perform on the main stage In 2007 it relocated to Grate Farm on the A591 on the outskirts of Kendal and saw an increased capacity of 2,000 with more stages added to accommodate additional artists. The following year saw the festival increase capacity again to 4,000 and extending to three days, with the winner of the Best Urban Act Dizzee Rascal flying in from Ibiza to perform on the opening Friday night only to fly back again straight after the show for a performance back on the island. Hens from Lancaster at Kendal Calling in 2015 In 2009 the festival relocated again, moving to its current home of Lowther Deer Park, near Penrith, and raising its capacity to 6,000.

Molly Warburton from Lancaster performs on the Woodlands Stage (Image: Newsquest) 'When we started, it was just a group of teenagers with this wild idea of bringing music and arts to the Lakes. 'Now, 20 years on, it's grown beyond anything we could have imagined. Record ticket sales have poured in and it's honestly humbling.'
