RecruitLook Junior Golf Tour Sponsors Craig Barlow on the PGA Tour

RecruitLook is excited to announce a partnership with Professional Golfer, Craig Barlow.

Junior golf, featuring participants in boys and girls in ages 13-18, around the country has increased in popularity, and the growth trajectory is expected to continue to rise.

“We’ve seen it just in our junior tour in the greater Las Vegas area,” says Tommy Canale, National RecruitLook Scout and Co-Founder of the RecruitLook Junior Golf Tour. “Each event seems to have more golfers and not just from Vegas but from California, Montana, Arizona, and Utah. It’s exciting to see so many junior golfers committing to the game.”

RecruitLook and Barlow are teaming up to offer assistance to junior golfers seeking college recruiting guidance and golfing instructions, and this isn’t your average clubhouse pro — junior golfers have the option to learn from someone that has won over $5,000,000+ on the PGA Tour.

 

“I love being able to give back to the junior golfers out there and teach them about the game that I’m so passionate about,” says Craig Barlow. “Teaming with RecruitLook is the perfect fit for me. Too many golfers have it intrenched in their minds that golf recruiting goes down a certain path, but RecruitLook is proving to have a model that works well with what I like to teach and preach.”– Craig Barlow

“I’ve seen Barlow work with junior golfers before. His diagnostic approach really gets the golfer thinking more about the game, and that isn’t only about the swing. He’ll get into the mental side of the game and course management, which is critical for junior golfers to learn about,” says Canale.

More golfers are picking up the game with hopes that they’ll land a coveted golf scholarship, and one day turn pro like Craig Barlow. However, golf recruiting has become just as competitive as the tournament rounds that junior golfers play each year. Only about 8.5% of high school golfers actually play in college (male and female). It doesn’t take an economist to figure out that the scholarship supply won’t keep up with the demand.

“I love being able to give back to the junior golfers out there and teach them about the game that I’m so passionate about,” says Craig Barlow. “Teaming with RecruitLook is the perfect fit for me. Too many golfers have it intrenched in their minds that golf recruiting goes down a certain path, but RecruitLook is proving to have a model that works well with what I like to teach and preach.”

In addition to the partnership, Barlow will wear RecruitLook sponsorship on his hat as well as on his tour bag for his upcoming summer events on the PGA Tour.

“Craig is a great ambassador for the golfing industry, and we’re thrilled he’ll be representing the RecruitLook brand on the Tour. Craig is truly one of the good guys in this business,” says Mike Enright, CEO of RecruitLook.
