Think Young, Play Hard

Golf Digest is the No. 1 most widely-read golf publication in the world and the authority on how to play, what to play and where to play. Golf Digest's aim is to enhance the enjoyment of all facets of the game — making its readers better players, smarter consumers and more discerning travelers, while also offering the kind of informative and provocative stories that fuel the unending conversation that is golf. Golf Digest's mantra is "thing young, play hard," a philosophy that defines both our reader and editorial alike, and is what differentiates Golf Digest from the competition. It's not just about swing speed — it's a way of life.

Get in The Loop

The Loop seeks to not only reflect the most intriguing conversations in golf, but the other conversations people who play golf have on a daily basis. That could mean Dustin Johnson vs. Jordan Spieth, but it could also be LeBron James vs. Steph Curry or what happened on "Game of Thrones" last night. There will be debate. There will be entertainment. There will be all the fun parts of the internet and none of the political screeds or cat videos—served to you from not only Golf Digest's website, but Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and eventually some new social platform that hasn’t even been invented yet.
