#170: Nick Venson – Founder & CEO, Swag Golf

Nick Venson, founder and CEO of Swag Golf, is transforming the golf industry with his bold approach. Swag Golf is known for its limited-edition accessories and apparel, combining top-quality craftsmanship with unique designs that resonate with a passionate community of golf enthusiasts.

Swag Golf began with four friends in a small 2,500-square-foot unit in Northbrook, Illinois, driven by the idea of creating badass putters and headcovers unlike anything the golf world had seen. Their success led to a $10 million growth funding round led by Verance Capital, with investors like Shaun White and Zach LaVine supporting Swag’s vision.

With over 19 years of experience, Nick Venson aims to challenge the status quo of the golf industry through creativity and flair. His mission is to create products that are as expressive as they are functional, offering golfers a fresh and unique perspective on the game.
