CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Callaway Golf, one of the golf industry's leaders in golf equipment design, performance, and innovation, officially announced a formal partnership with global music and entertainment superstar, Niall Horan. Through this partnership, the famed singer-songwriter will collaborate with Callaway to celebrate their shared passion for the game, while also connecting with a wider, younger audience.

Horan has also competed in numerous Pro-Am events, including at the BMW PGA Championship, the DP World Tour's flagship event.

"I am proud to partner with Callaway on activations that will engage with golfers around the world," Horan said. "Golf is an amazing game, and we're committed to making it more accessible, inviting and fun, especially for younger players. I'm excited to work with the Callaway team on content, experiences, and other fun ideas to bring more visibility to golf, and more enjoyment to those who play it."

We look forward to working with Niall on a range of new ideas that we believe will help further broaden the appeal of golf."
