DRU GOLF INC.

What DRU GOLF INC. does

DRU GOLF INC. is a US-based direct-to-consumer golf accessories and apparel company built around a proprietary interchangeable belt-and-buckle system. The Shopify-powered storefront (drugolf.com) sells belts priced at approximately $150, swappable buckles ranging from $17 to $32, and an apparel assortment priced $40-$158. The brand reports that more than 400 PGA Tour professionals wear DRUH, including Tommy Fleetwood, and markets cobranded sub-collections with iconic figures such as Arnold Palmer and John Daly. Manufacturing is performed by a master artisan in Thailand; the company is headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, and currently ships within the United States only.

The revenue model is premium-DTC e-commerce with no disclosed wholesale, retail, or enterprise contracts. Customer engagement is driven by an "Inner Circle" email program of more than 25,000 subscribers, growing at roughly 247 new members per week, supported by a 4.9-star product rating. The company has extended the platform with two customization tools — Build Your Own Belt and Design Your DRUH (custom-logo buckles) — which open a B2B / corporate-gifting channel layered on top of the consumer base.

Product and brand portfolio have expanded materially in a recent window: new apparel, a women's athleisure line, and two celebrity cobranded collections. Despite these launches and an active email acquisition engine, the company has not disclosed revenue, headcount, external funding, or international operations, leaving unit economics and scale uncertain.
