Dick’s, Golf Galaxy Bring Golf Digest in Stores

Dick’s Sporting Goods and its Golf Galaxy chain will become the official and exclusive home of Golf Digest’s “Hot List,” a preeminent source for reviews of club and golf ball launches.

The in-store experience enables shoppers to see, try and get custom fit for the Hot List's gold and silver medal products by Dick’s and Golf Galaxy's Trusted Advisors and PGA/LPGA pros. The Hot List issue, published annually by online and print publication Golf Digest, will be available in stores beginning Jan. 25.

In addition, Dick’s and Golf Galaxy ScoreCard loyalty members will receive various perks, including subscriptions to Golf Digest’s digital edition, schools and the print edition.

"We formed this partnership with America's largest and most respected sports retailer to get closer to golfers," said Chris Reynolds, senior vice president & general manager at Golf Digest, in a news release. "The Hot List is the tool golfers trust in deciding the right equipment for them and Dick’s and Golf Galaxy are the destinations for finding that equipment, fittings and advice. Bringing the two together will help us learn about today's golf consumer, understand the golf equipment business and grow the game."
