Tour Edge: The Little Company That Can

• Author: Andy Brumer

Founded in 1986, Tour Edge has carved out a niche for itself as a mid-sized club manufacturer that appeals to many for its quality equipment and low-price points. Now it seeks more.

There’s a joke that seldom fails to elicit a chuckle from anyone working in the golf club business. It asks, "How do you make a small fortune in the golf equipment industry?" The answer? "Start with a large one."

Over the years, many small and mid-sized golf club makers have found sustaining profitability challenging. Yet, David Glod, founder, president and master club designer of Tour Edge, one of the game’s most highly regarded, yet lesser-known, club manufacturers, doesn’t find much humor here.

Glod, 60, played on the same Florida Southern University golf team as Rocco Mediate, Lee Jansen and Marco Dawson and that won the 1984 NCAA Championship. After graduating and serving a short stint as a PGA club professional, Glod started Tour Edge in 1986. Since then, he and his brother Gordon, who joined the company shortly after its beginning and now works as its vice president of sales, have kept Tour Edge not just alive, but thriving. The key to their success has come packaged in a balanced formula of fiscal conservatism, innovative technology and the production of premium clubs sold at a price point lower than its bigger name-brand OEM competitors.

"David’s focus has always been as a club designer and engineer," says Jon Claffey, the company’s vice president of marketing. He adds that as a cautious businessperson by nature, Glod has previously resisted the decision to market his company’s products more aggressively. Claffey cites countless small-scale club manufacturers that eventually failed precisely because after initial success in the marketplace and on tour they tried to grow too rapidly.

Nick Sherburne, founder of Club Champion, a custom clubfitting company, offers the following perspective on Tour Edge’s quality, as well as its potential moving forward.

"Tour Edge is one of the smaller niche brands that I truly believe is on par from a manufacturing and R-and-D standpoint with the larger OEMs," he said. "That’s why they have had the staying power they’ve shown over the years and why they possess great growth potential going forward. This also happens to be the reasons why we carry them at Club Champion.”

Consider, for instance, Tour Edge’s Exotics three-metal model, which was introduced in 2010 and was the first fairway metal to weld a titanium face to its stainless-steel body. The club caught the attention of many top PGA Tour players, who quickly put it in play. Before long, scores of Tour players started using Tour Edge drivers , irons and hybrids as well — all without endorsement payments from the company. To date Tour Edge clubs have been used in a combined 26 PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions victories.

Tour Edge has taken an old-school approach to marketing. Rather than investing in large endorsement contracts with well-known tour players to use its clubs, Tour Edge has relied on a word-of-mouth method.

And it works.

“Tour Edge has never had an unprofitable year in its 36 years of doing business,” Claffey says, “… over the past two-and-a half years, because of the industry-wide, pandemic-driven boom across all segments of the golf industry, our company has notched a record rate of growth. This has included an increase in our number of employees by 35 percent as well as a doubling of our sales force.”

Tour Edge is hopeful of moving more of its users to the Exotics line of clubs.

Tour Edge also produces two other sub-brands, which along with the Exotics strive to cover the gauntlet of every skill level of golfer. In addition to the Exotics, the Tour Edge catalog includes Hot Launch, a high-performing game improvement line of clubs, and the Get in the Game collection, which compiles complete sets of clubs that may appeal to casual or beginning golfers of all types on a budget.

When Glod hired Claffey approximately five years ago, the mandate was to bolster Tour Edge’s name recognition and profile beyond the word-of-mouth method it had long relied on.

Glancing at once both back and ahead, David Glod now says: “We’ve sustained enough growth recently to be able to invest more heavily in marketing, especially via the PGA Tour Champions and the Golf Channel. … the idea is to move more of our clients into our premium brand Exotics clubs, and that is where most of the thrust of the advertising dollars we’re now spending is going.”

Indeed, Tour Edge has signed an impressive roster of PGA Tour Champions players to represent the company and play its clubs. The list includes Bernhard Langer, Tom Lehman, Scott McCarron, Duffy Waldorf, Tim Petrovic, Mike Weir, Alex Cejka and Ken Duke, all of whom participate in the company’s new advertising campaigns that promote the brand’s new E722 and C722 drivers.

Tour Edge also has an engaging, folksy, almost home-movie-like TV ad spot featuring two-sport superstar Bo Jackson riffing on the old “Bo Knows” Nike slogan for which he made famous. This time, though, Jackson, looking surprised himself, says, “I don’t know” to communicate that he isn’t sure which of Tour Edge’s two new Exotics drivers — the E722 or the C722 best fits his golf swing — he should play. The spot also doubles as an invitation for golfers to book a session with an authorized Tour Edge club fitter to test which driver works best.

Kit Mungo, who manages Club Champion’s Agoura Hills, California, store, finds the plethora of technology Glod has packed into both models of Tour Edge’s new drivers most impressive. The company’s more forgiving E722, played on the PGA Tour Champions by Langer and Weir, and the smaller, more compact 445cc C722, played on Tour by McCarron, Petrovic and Cjeka, which offers less forgiveness on off-center hits, but rewards high-speed swingers.

The E722 has only a single weight port on the back of the clubhead, whereas the C722 adds another one positioned on its front close to the clubface. However, as Mungo says. “By trying various weight plug combinations on the C’s clubhead, and by finding the appropriate shaft for a given player, we can fit even the ‘C’ or so-called player’s model to golfers with less than super high swing speeds.”

So, how does David Glod feel about Tour Edge’s recent growth spurt and the prospects and risks involved in nurturing it further into a bigger company?

“I don’t know,” Glod replies, “We’re in the middle of such a growth spurt right now, so I’ll have to get back to you on that one.”

David Glod | Founder, President and Master Club Designer | Tour Edge

BACKGROUNDER —

Headquartered in the suburbs of Chicago, Tour Edge was founded in 1986 by David Glod, a former golf pro at Village Links Golf Club in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. As a young entrepreneur, Glod truly believed there was an opportunity in the golfing industry to provide a high-quality product at an affordable price.

Glod’s goal was to change the consumer’s perception of value and quality in golf clubs. He designed his first club in 1987 and never looked back. Tour Edge is an American owned and operated company for more than 33 years.

Club validation in 2019 started with Tom Lehman opening the season with a win in Hawaii and Scott McCarron adding a runner-up finish after the first 6 events of 2019, Exotics clubs have now finished 1 st  or 2 nd  in 18 of last 30 PGA TOUR Champions events. There have now been over 400 Exotics clubs in play over the past year by over 60 different professionals — only a total of 8 of them on staff with Tour Edge.

One of the biggest developments for Tour Edge has been manufacturing a driver embraced by the tour pros. Exotics staffer Duffy Waldorf recently put the Exotics EXS Driver into play, as have several other players. The Exotics EXS Driver is a $299 driver featuring all of the technology and innovation as much higher priced drivers, leading it to win MyGolfSpy’s 2019 Best Value Driver in their annual Most Wanted driver testing.

THE TOUR EDGE STORY —

Tour Edge Golf is in its 33rd year as a golf club manufacturer in 2019. Known as company that spends money on materials and not necessarily huge marketing dollars when compared to the behemoths of the industry.

“But as time has gone on, we’ve shifted our focus to educating the golfing public about how we really are providing “Golf’s Most Solid Investment,” said Glod.

“Everything we do, even our Titanium faced fairway woods and hybrids with advanced materials and manufacturing techniques and genuine tour shafts, has that mantra at its core.”

What kind of momentum does Tour Edge have going into the 2019 golf season?

  We have the most momentum we have ever had as a company. It’s been about five (5) years in the making, but all the plans we have made to take Tour Edge to the next level, to get efficient in our space have come to fruition and it has led to three straight years of unprecedented growth.

Tour Edge has gained considerable mileage with the usage of clubs played on The Champions Tour — most notably Tom Lehman winning this past January in Hawaii. How has tour success translated into consumer awareness and purchases?

Ever since we launched Exotic over a decade ago, we have had tour validation. We had clubs in play at the Masters again this year and we figured out that CBX 119  will give Tour Edge a decade of Exotics in play at The Masters! We had 10 wins on the Big Tour over a 10 year time period before we broke out for 9 wins on Champions and Web.com tours the past two seasons, but it just was only going to go so far when you can’t use a player’s name.

  Being able to use the likeness of the great Tom Lehman and top players like Scott McCarron,  Tim Petrovic and Duffy Waldorf and the fact that they are all featuring Tour Edge Exotics logos makes a huge difference. Plus, these guys are starting to play other Tour Edge clubs, like drivers, iron-woods and irons. More than just the fairways and hybrids we were known for in the past.

The release this year of the Exotics EXS driver has been well received. How has the company been able to combine technological advances in concert with a price point far below larger sized rival companies?

We wanted to shake up the industry by offering all the tech in the $550 drivers in one that cost $299. Our research showed that millions of core golfers are deferring product purchases as a consequence of higher prices and this latent demand is costing the industry sales.

Exotics EXS services this latent demand by delivering a high-technology, great-performing solution at a price that allows savvy golfers access to the latest technology . We are on track to sell more Exotics drivers this year than we ever have before.

Who is the Tour Edge customer?

We are one of the very few manufacturers doing what we are doing by providing clubs for the entire spectrum of golfers.

We have a major focus on beginners and for golfers getting back into the game in what we call our Get in the Game products. Get in the Game products means high-quality performance sets for men, women, and juniors at the right price to help grow the number of golfers that can play this expensive sport of ours.

Then we have our Hot Launch mid-tier price point that brings together custom fitting, advanced technology and affordable pricing under the same umbrella. We are on an island all by ourselves with these price points and the technology you receive. And you can get your custom fit order in 48 hours anywhere in the United States with Hot Launch custom fit orders.

With our third tier, we have our tour-winning line of Exotics for your serious and discerning golfers all the way up to the very best golfers in the world.

Among your customers what’s the gender breakdown and what steps are you taking to expand awareness among Millennials and women?

I would say the gender breakdown for us is 65% men to 35% women, which is more even split than most golf companies have. Millennials have come to Tour Edge due to the latent demand for high-performance clubs with a lower purchase price as they are just getting into golf or they are looking for the most bang for your buck, which has become our wheelhouse. With more and more ways to look at your numbers and to get custom fit, we can prove ourselves to the younger golfers and they can save money knowing they are getting the best equipment for their game.

What role does customer feedback play in your future club production plans and is there a situation where that contribution was truly significant?

No one else stands behind their products with golfing consumer as we do. This is all done for the consumer and with consumer feedback. We are a United States brand who builds our clubs in the USA and we stand with the golfer and protect the golfer with a lifetime warranty and amazing prices for amazing performance based product to help grow the game of golf.

Given your overall lack of size when held against much larger rivals — what marketing efforts are you aggressively pursuing to build consumer awareness in 2019?

We are advertising heavily on Golf Channel these days and we even have our own show now that we sponsor, the PGA Tour Champions Learning Center presented by Tour Edge Exotics. There are 43 episodes that will air in 2019, with 15 of the episodes featuring Exotics staff players Tom Lehman, Scott McCarron, Duffy Waldorf or Tim Petrovic in the “What’s Your Edge?” golf tips and equipment segment.

We are further streamlining our Tour staff message through traditional golf media outlets like golf magazines, with a concentration on digital advertising and marketing initiatives with the world’s largest golf websites and forums. We are also heavily advertised on Sirius XM’s PGA Tour channel with Brian Katrek and John Maginnes and with Matt Adams’ Fairways of Life radio show. Those are the most listened to golf shows in the world. Plus we do a ton of stuff regionally and with our retail partners.

A number of equipment companies have sought to expand their offerings beyond what drove their success initially to a far wider array of offerings. In some cases that decision has not paid off and meant a major drag for those who have failed. What lessons has Tour Edge gained in attempting to widen its equipment profile and knowing how fast is too fast?

That’s funny, as we are actually scaling down to be honest. We have always had a pretty expansive in-line product line as I try to cover all the niches that aren’t being serviced or that had been abandoned.  Exotics EXS has helped us to open up the driver and iron market to Exotics, so really we do it all, just trying to be smarter and more efficient with the products we come out with as we move forward.

Scott McCarron.

Biggest short and long term challenges facing Tour Edge is what?

I would say it’s always the same for us and we are finally doing something about it with our marketing and that is global brand awareness. That’s the good fight we are fighting.

4 Things That Make Tour Edge a Great Golf Club Manufacturer

Here are some of the major factors that make Tour Edge one of the leading golf club manufacturers in the industry. 

1. Preferred By PGA Professional Golfers

Tour Edge clubs are among the best in the golf club manufacturing business and are preferred by golfers of all skill levels, whether professionals or beginners. 

That’s what is so unique and impressive about them: they’re providing quality golf clubs to golfers of different skills and abilities. Tour Edge will not only be found in use at Augusta National during the Masters Tournament but at your local public golf course as well!

When it comes to the club’s Tour preference, the fantastic thing about Tour Edge is that it doesn’t pay any players to use its golf clubs. Professional golfers seek them out because of how well these golf clubs perform!

2. Value For Money

Tour Edge golf clubs can be bought as individual clubs or a whole set. Buying them as a group offers excellent value for money. 

Buying Tour Edge is almost a hack compared to other big golf equipment names because its quality clubs will perform at par with the other brands but at a fraction of the price!

3. Still Made In USA

Tour Edge golf clubs are, and always have been, manufactured in the United States. 

This unique side of the brand separates it from other big names who’ve outsourced their manufacturing, partly or entirely, to another country, usually China, where labor and other manufacturing organs are cheaper than in the United States. 

Since the company’s inception in 1986, Tour Edge has kept its golf clubs’ manufacturing at its headquarters in Illinois. Every club is hand-crafted , which most golf club manufacturers can’t brag about.

4. Lifetime Guaranteed Clubs

Another attribute that sets Golf Edge apart from the rest is that they provide a lifetime guarantee for each of their clubs.  This means the clubs can be redeemed if they snap at the shaft or the clubhead somehow gets damaged. This creates reliability for the customer and reflects the brand’s confidence in its clubs.

The Best Selling Tour Edge Golf Clubs

Tour Edge is known chiefly for manufacturing golf clubs that are easy to hit and forgiving in nature.  These clubs are especially suitable for juniors, seniors, lady golfers, and high-handicapped golfers .  This is mainly because of how easy they launch and how much forgiveness these clubs allow. 

Let’s take a look at some of the hottest clubs on the Tour Edge line, what their selling points are and how you could benefit from them. 

Tour Edge Exotics E722 Driver

Updated on 2024-06-17

Tour Edge Driver

The Tour Edge Exotics E722 Driver comes in various lofts (10.5 degrees being the most wanted). 

It has a low center of gravity and it’s in the rear end of the club. It has an adjustable hosel and it also has RidgeBack technology.

The low center of gravity promotes a higher ball launch. The RidgeBack technology keeps the clubhead stable and provides a straighter ball trajectory.

• Higher launch angle 
• Straighter ball trajectory
• Forgiveness on off-center hits
• Adjustable hosel
• Relatively expensive
• Lower offset compared to other models causing increased side spin on mishits

Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Irons Set

Tour Edge Irons

This iron set from Tour Edge comprises a 4-iron to pitching wedge (7 clubs) set. 

Each individual club consists of a hollow club head fitted with a Houdini sole and weighted at the perimeters. The shallow face features an offset design for more forgiveness. 

The Houdini sole minimizes the clubhead’s turf interaction to promote a high launch angle. The weighted perimeter of the club head allows for much forgiveness and stabilizes the club head through impact. 

These irons are ideal for golfers who slice the ball as the offset design controls the sidespin imparted on the ball, giving you a straighter trajectory. 

The shallow lie angle promotes velocity, launching the ball high even with slow swing speeds. 

In short : You get forgiving irons that help with slices and launch your ball high.

• Forgiving golf clubs  
• Fights side-spin, giving slicers a straighter shot
• Minimal turf interaction
• High launch and trajectory 
• Chunky design not very appealing to low and mid handicappers
• Limits shot-making ability 

Tour Edge TGS 3 Piece Wedge Set

These triple-grind wedges lower the club’s bounce right from the heel to the toe. 

A TPE sole insert absorbs any shocks and softens the overall feel, adding to supreme greenside action for the average golfer. 

The U-shaped grooves grip the golf ball’s cover like no other, imparting some serious spin that enables the ball to stop where it drops or, better still, zip back towards the flagstick just like on TV!

• Amazingly soft
• Brilliant sole design 
• Crazy spin 
• Affordable price point
• Thick appearance 
• Only one grind option

Tour Edge Hot Launch C522 Hybrid

The Hot Launch line of clubs by Tour Edge has a lower price range when compared to their Exotics range of clubs. 

But the low price tag doesn’t mean any compromise on performance. Quite the opposite, the 360-cup design, combined with a power channel directly behind the clubface, gives you the sweetest impact and most incredible forgiveness you can expect from any hybrid. 

Besides this, getting the ball in the air with this club is incredibly easy, thanks to a weight positioned at the back of the clubface that extends the CG much lower and deeper. This also enables more forgiveness on off-center hits.

The light Fubuki shaft suits it for slow to moderate swing speeds . 

• Easy to get the golf ball in the air 
• Uncompromised performance at a low price
• Fubuki shaft too soft for fast swing speeds

Tour Edge Hot Launch C522 Fairway Woods

Fairway Woods

These fairway woods by Tour Edge are exceptional in quality and performance. The best part is you can find multiple shaft flex to suit your swing.

Here’s a table of different fairway woods and their loft angles.

These fairway woods have a great feel and give a high launch angle which is exactly what any golfer needs in a fairway wood.

• Headcover included
• Great performance
• Multiple shaft flex options
• Not for high handicapper
• Limited workability

Tour Edge Exotics Wingman II Putter

This brilliant putter provides exceptional forgiveness , especially on off-center putts. It’s recommended explicitly for golfers looking to drastically improve their putting and those looking to sink more putts in general.

The carbon-fiber sole distributes the weight of the club out to its perimeters which helps the putter flow more smoothly through the ball.

The micro-grooves on the face help get the ball rolling more consistently, which means the ball will stay on line and roll straight into the center of the cup! 

• Face insert promotes smoother roll
• Putting stroke may sound a bit clicky at first

How Do Tour Edge Clubs Compare Against Other Top Brands?

The answer to that question depends entirely on the individual golfer’s abilities and needs. Tour Edge clubs are designed to cater primarily to the needs of mid to high handicappers, seniors, juniors, and ladies.  

These golfers comprise a massive chunk of the golfers around the world, and the top brands such as Titleist or TaylorMade aren’t all that focused on meeting the needs of these golfers.

So, in regard to what the weekend warriors and other seasonal golfers have to say about these clubs, they’re very much up there with the best.

Consequently, as far as top-tier performance is concerned, Tour Edge may be lacking in certain areas of the game. 

A classic example can be the limited workability of the golf club. Too much forgiveness always translates to too little versatility when it comes to golf club manufacturing.

Players with a high ball and clubhead speeds would find these clubs unacceptable because they’re not looking for forgiveness. They’re looking for cutting-edge technology that can handle their speeds and translate them into performance.

Why Are Tour Edge Clubs Relatively Unheard Of?

The clubs that get advertised most are the ones most frequently used to win a tournament on the PGA Tour. Tour validation is critical regarding how much a golf product sells. 

The most remarkable example that demonstrates this point is that of Nike. The brand took off and crashed on more or less the same trajectory as Tiger Woods’ career. 

He single-handedly took Nike to the top of the golf equipment industry simply because he attained success on the PGA Tour like few others. 

Bridgestone is the latest brand to skyrocket in popularity and sales due to a player’s endorsement and use of it. Again, it’s the ‘GOAT’ Tiger Woods, who has enabled all this. 

With Tour Edge, the story gets complicated. Although it does have Tour validation, and a handful of big names play with Tour Edge equipment, it still needs to have that kind of clout to be a front-runner. 

Final Thoughts: Are Tour Edge Golf Clubs Good?

Tour Edge golf clubs are, without a doubt, one of the very best golf clubs on the market today.  

These golf clubs are especially recommended for high handicappers, ladies, juniors, and seniors because they’re designed with those demographics in mind. 

Their quality is exceeded only by their affordability, which is quite something in the expensive game of golf.  Tour Edge has broken the stereotypical mindset that top quality always comes with top dollar.
