American Golf announces new deal with Andrew 'Beef' Johnston

The UK’s leading golf retailer, American Golf, has announced English pro golfer fan favourite Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston as their newest ambassador as the brand continues their drive to become the one stop destination for all golfers.

To celebrate, anyone who books a free custom fitting session at their local American Golf store from March - May will have the opportunity to play a round of golf with the legend himself in July. 

As well as hosting a series of collaborative activities throughout 2024, where Beef will offer the American Golf community tips to improve their game, American Golf will sponsor the Cobra Puma player’s clothing, which will be emblazoned with American Golf’s logo and showcased by the characterful golfer on the 2024 European Tour.

In July, the retailer will become the headline sponsor for ‘Beef Stock’ – a physical realisation of ‘Beef’s Golf Club’ podcast into a day long festival.  Comprising an 18-hole tournament including breakfast, masterclasses, competitions and a champions BBQ, as well as branding, American Golf will have a pop-up experience for guests to interact with on the day.

New episodes of ‘Beef’s Golf School’ – a six-part series of exclusive YouTube tutorials released in 2023 which saw Beef team up with Hollywood actors, TV stars and sporting personalities to help improve their golf game – will also be released by American Golf from May.

Sophie Fox, Head of Marketing and Content said: “We absolutely love working with Beef and we’re delighted to have teamed up with him across a host of exciting activities throughout 2024. 

“American Golf is passionate about increasing player participation by challenging misconceptions, breaking down barriers to play and ensuring we do are part in making the sport accessible to all.  Beef shares these values, so coupled with his warm and gregarious personality which instantly puts anyone at ease on or off the course, we know 2024 will be a fantastic year for us!”

Johnston said:

American Golf offers a free custom fitting service at each of its 90+ retail stores which ensures that a player’s clubs are tailored to the individual’s game, not just their measurements.

It will factor in ball speed and launch to ensure the clubs work to support the player’s game, helping them to reach their full potential on course.
