If you’re an experienced golf tournament organizer, you know that one of the best ways to keep participants coming back and engaged is to give away great raffle items and participation gifts. First time organizers should take note. Not only will these gifts help show your appreciation and reward golfers for their efforts, but they will also keep them excited about participating in the tournament in years to come.
When you give away golf gear as a tournament prize, you’re giving your participants an opportunity to improve their game. We’ve rounded up our recommendations of top golf tournament gifts and swag that your participants will be excited to show off and use.
Brand Your Event
When you include your brand in the tournament goodie bags, you’re helping cement your tournament in the participants’ minds. This move helps to bring back golfers year after year and attract new participants as the word gets out.
In those swag bags and raffle winner packs, don’t just give each participant a golf ball — give them a personalized branded golf ball with your logo on it. This budget-friendly gift is perfect for golf tournament gifts under $5.
We offer a selection of golf balls you can customize from top brands, including Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Bridgestone Golf, Srixon, Wilson, and Pinnacle.
Take your tournament branding a step further and include branded apparel for your event. At TGW, we can customize many items, such as hats, polos, outerwear, and golf accessories. Apparel will help the word about your tournament travel, especially in your local market. And if you follow some of the steps below, the person wearing your gear will be talking about your tournament every chance they get.
Big-ticket Raffle Winners Help Draw Participants
You can sell raffle tickets at the registration table during your event or by using an online tool to create a virtual raffle. The online raffle can be the most efficient since you can sell tickets in advance of your tournament and avoid lines and bottlenecks at the raffle table during the event.
Offer a raffle for each prize package. You’ll generate more money and excitement since golfers will buy raffle tickets for the prizes they’re most hoping to win.
Make a huge impact on your players with your big-ticket raffle prizes. Your tournament participants will jump at the chance to snap up raffle tickets for quality golf bags packed with goodies. Choosing a memorable, awesome prize they may not have purchased themselves can go a long way in driving retention. Our golf gadgets are perfect for the serious golfer who wants to lower their handicap.
If you’d like some help selecting a rangefinder, check out the Bushnell Tour V5 Golf Rangefinder Patriot Pack. This great scope is tournament-legal and allows golfers to understand distances to any target on the golf course. This way, they’ll know which club to select and how to make the best shot for each situation.
Golf Tournament Gifts for all Participants
Not everyone can win your top prizes, but everyone can walk away happy with a prize bag filled with thoughtful items that are useful to any golfer.
In addition to personalized golf balls and apparel, we have a selection of golf towels and accessories for the bag that will be perfect for your participants. If you’d like to see our recommendations for even more gift ideas for your tournament, take a look at our hand-selected golf gifts.
