Castore, the premium performance sportswear brand, announces a new exclusive golf distribution partnership with Specialist Sports, one of the UK’s leading sports distributors.
The multi-year agreement will see Specialist Sports become the sole distributor of Castore’s golf apparel across the UK, starting with the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, as well as supporting distribution in Europe. Specialist Sports will leverage its extensive golf distribution network and decades of experience to bring Castore’s cutting-edge golf products to market, enabling wider retail availability and stronger visibility across key golf markets.
This marks the next major step for Castore’s strategic expansion into the golf sector, having at the start of the year announced its new partnership to kit out LIV Golf franchise, Majesticks GC, which has British stars Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood on its roster.
With a relentless focus on innovation, design, and performance, Castore’s golf range is engineered to meet the demands of modern golfers at every level from elite athletes to aspirational players.
Castore’s golf collection is meticulously designed with precision detailing and elite performance in mind.
Featuring laser-cut ventilation to enhance breathability and lightweight construction techniques that minimise distraction, each garment is built to give athletes a competitive edge without compromising on comfort or style.
The distribution agreement includes Castore’s full golf collection: high-performance shirts, trousers, layering pieces, waterproofs, and accessories, all featuring the brand’s proprietary layered ventilation system (LVS) technology, laser-cut ventilation, and ultra-lightweight fabric engineering.
This collaboration positions Castore to accelerate its presence in the premium golfwear space by harnessing Specialist Sports’ industry expertise and robust retail reach.
Pete Alecock, Chief Trading Officer at Castore commented:
“As we enter our next phase of growth, golf represents a key strategic pillar for Castore. Our vision is to build the world’s leading premium sportswear brand, and partnering with Specialist Sports, renowned for its market expertise and distribution excellence, is the ideal way to achieve this and grow our offering within golf. Their dedication to quality and reach across the UK and Europe will help us bring Castore Golf to more athletes and retailers than ever before.”
Ben Davis, Sales Category Director at Specialist Sports, added:
“We are thrilled to welcome Castore into our portfolio. Having observed the brand’s growth within golf over the past couple of years, the partnership seemed a perfect fit to take the brand to the next level within the category. With its range of premium products, and new partnerships like Majesticks GC, the brand perfectly fits with our strategic vision to grow the apparel sector of our golf business and enhance our service offering to the golf trade. I look forward to working with the Castore team in developing and expanding the brand into a market leader within our territories”.
