🚨 Some breaking news from Pro Shop🧵: @Daniel_Rapaport is joining the team at @Skratch where he will be covering pro golf and making content on YouTube, launching a flagship podcast, and starting a new newsletter.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dan for the first 3 seasons of Full Swing as well as The Creator Classic and (obviously) had been a fan of his before. There is nobody better suited to help us build the future that we envision at Pro Shop than Dan. He's an incredible and very well-sourced reporter; he gets YouTube and understand how to build a following; and he has an extremely high creative motor.

Dan will be on the ground covering the President's Cup this week and then we'll be in building mode for the Fall. I'm excited for what's to come and can't wait for you to see what we are cooking up at @skratch.

There are few brands in golf that stand out more than what Ian Gilley and his partners have built with Sugarloaf Social Club. I am delighted to announce that Sugarloaf is now a part of Pro Shop!

Today I am excited to announce the formation of Pro Shop, a new media and commerce company focused on the intersection of golf and culture.

[Joe Purzycki @JoePurzycki]

It took a lot of hard work, support, and belief in a shared vision by a number of incredibly talented and supportive partners including the @PGATOUR, the team @Skratch, and our investors @PowerhouseCap, @ElysianParkVC w/ @PGA, and @marquee_vc just to name a few.

In case you missed it last night, I have some personal news to share… I am teaming up with @JoePurzycki to launch a new media/content/commerce venture focused exclusively on golf. Making Full Swing has been the best possible case study for the massive potential audience for golf beyond just hardcore fans and we are forming this new business with that ethos at its heart. Watch this space and stay tuned!
