Performance sportswear brand Castore has announced 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.
The distribution agreement includes Castore’s full golf collection of polo shirts, trousers, layering pieces, waterproofs, and accessories, all featuring the brand’s proprietary laser-cut ventilation system and ultra-lightweight fabric engineering.
