Prosports International

What Prosports International does

Prosports International, founded in 1995 by HH Sheikh Saeed Mohamed Hasher Al Maktoum, is a Dubai-headquartered golf retail and distribution company positioned as the UAE's leading golf retailer. The company operates 31 physical retail stores under the Golf Superstore (GSS) brand across the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, complemented by an e-commerce platform (golfsuperstore.ae). It also runs a B2B wholesale distribution business supplying golf equipment, apparel, and accessories to golf clubs, retailers, and corporate clients across the GCC and Egypt, alongside customized corporate merchandise services (embroidery, heat seal, screen printing).

The company's product portfolio is anchored by exclusive regional distribution partnerships with premium global brands including Titleist, FootJoy, PING, Ralph Lauren Golf, Greg Norman Collection, Bushnell, Fujikura, Mitsubishi, KJUS, and others. Underlying technology is primarily third-party and retail-operations focused: TrackMan launch monitors, ClubLab performance-analysis systems, and real-time data systems support custom club fitting at dedicated facilities including the Titleist National Fitting Centre (at Jumeirah Golf Estates) and the newer GSS Tour Experience venue in Dubai. Prosports is also the official golf retail partner for the DP World Race to Dubai, Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, and Qatar Masters, providing both tournament retail and exclusive merchandise.

Prosports monetizes through four primary revenue streams: (1) B2B wholesale distribution of golf hardware and apparel to clubs and retailers across the GCC and Egypt, (2) B2C retail sales through 31 stores and the golfsuperstore.ae e-commerce site, (3) customized merchandise and corporate sales (branded apparel, team uniforms, corporate gifts), and (4) professional fitting services. Its customer segments are golf enthusiasts and players (B2C), golf clubs and resorts (B2B enterprise), corporate clients (B2B), and golf retailers (B2B wholesale). Go-to-market combines retail walk-ins, e-commerce, official tournament retail, PGA-professional staff for fitting, and a brand ambassador program. Pricing is unit-based across premium SKUs and is not publicly disclosed.
