There is a revolution coming to Golf Channel and your TV set.
No, this isn’t another story about Tiger’s comeback which is sure to play out all over the networks leading up to The Masters. This is about Revolution Golf being acquired by Golf Channel and what it means to you and the golf industry as a whole.
For those who don’t know, Revolution Golf is the industry’s biggest direct-to-consumer digital platform. They have about 2 million subscribers for their instructional video series, travel information, shopping and other content. You can check it all out at their website revolutiongolf.com. You’ll find tons of helpful golf instructional video from the leading teachers in the business. Although many of the videos are for members only, but there are free ones available for viewing to entice you to join.

The Golf Channel likely needs no introduction for anyone with even a remote interest in the game. Maybe you check it out for early round PGA Tour highlights, David Feherty’s show or a quick lesson on how to save strokes around the green. Whatever you crave, Golf Channel is there 24 hours a day to feed your addiction. What you may not realize is Golf Channel is so much more than that. Within the past ten years, Golf Channel has created the largest engaged digital audience in all of golf. That will increase even more with the acquisition of Revolution Golf.
Behind the Acquisition
Now The Golf Channel has come a long way in a relatively short time, first acquiring GolfNow and Golf Advisor to boost their digital lifestyle products and now with the purchase of Revolution Golf. This was always the plan, said Will McIntosh, the senior vice president of business and strategy for Golf Channel, in a recent interview.
“The vision was to take this passionate audience which was cultivated through Golf Channel and turn in into something more meaningful from a digital platform standpoint. Our thinking was, any time a golfer is trying to connect with the game of golf, with their passion, how can we get involved in facilitating that relationship?”
It’s a win-win for both companies. Revolution Golf will be able to enhance their content by having access to all of Golf Channel’s vast content and library of golf legends from Bobby Jones, the Big Three, Tiger and everyone in between. Golf Channel obtains another subscription-based business. Golf Channel wants to be the Amazon Prime of the golf world. Owning Revolution Golf is another step in that direction.
What Will Be Different
As for the programming on Golf Channel, you may have already noticed some subtle changes. In fact, Cameron McCormick, the long-time swing coach for former world number one Jordan Spieth, has now become an official member of the Revolution Golf and Golf Channel team. McCormick will host his own instructional series on both Revolution Golf and Golf Channel.
Another big coaching name to join the lineup is Sean Foley. Now Foley currently works with Olympic gold medalist and 2013 U.S. Open winner Justin Rose and previously worked with Tiger earlier this decade. So Golf Channel and Revolution Golf want to bring golfers of all skill levels together. And they want to do it with world-class teachers to improve their game and have more fun doing so. With Foley and McCormick coming in, Michael Breed, host of The Golf Fix on Golf Channel has moved on from the network.
The partnership between Revolution Golf and Golf Channel won’t just benefit each other of course. The biggest winner in this deal will be you, the golf fan. Golf Channel wants to be your one and only home for all things golf related. Not just highlights from this week’s PGA Tour stop. But also instructional lessons, travel features and basically everything else golf related. One stop shopping at its finest.
In the coming months expect to see a lot of Revolution Golf services and instructors on the Golf Channel airwaves. This revolution will definitely be televised.

Bring back Michael Breed. These RG guys are too technical, and I just turn off the program. I am really disappointed.
I purchased a new Wilson Driver Cortex Driver/Driver through Revolution Golf after it won the Driver/Driver Competition. With less than 3 rounds of golf completed, the shaft broke! I contacted Revolution Golf for return instructions and requested their RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization), and have been getting the “Runaround ever since.. I only purchased the Driver through them because of their “So Called” , fabulous one year, no questions asked guarantee on the merchandise that they market. I notice that ever since, they don’t push that lenient return policy promotion any longer. Wilson won’t help me because their stated return policy requires it to be worked out with the Vendor.
How many others might be having this kind of problem with Revolution Golf?

I purchased several Sean Foley courses through revolution Golf. Now that Revolution Golf has been taken over, there is no way to access these videos. I contacted GolfPass and spoke to a customer service rep. who said the videos would transition over to the GolfPass site. That was two months ago and still no way to access.
Thanks for the comment Bob. We are not actually affiliated with Revolution Golf or GolfPass, so unfortunately we cannot help. Our suggestion would be to continue to contact them to make sure you get access to what you purchased. We agree that the burden of the transition process should not be placed on the consumer. Be sure to let us know if you get any resolution, in case some of our other readers experience the same issue.
Thanks for reading!
I purchased for my brother at Revolution Golf a lifetime membership for 150 dollars – or pounds, I forget. my brother became ill and passed away in August 2014. I tried many times unsuccessfully to get a reply from Golf now re the membership, to no avail.
They do not appear to be honouring that membership deal!.
I purchased Two tour edge Woods on 1/17/2018 . My wife came down with stage 4 Ovarian cancer shortly after that and I have not played golf until now. I tried these clubs and do not hit offset clubs well. I have sent emails to Revolution Golf but, of course. no answer. Wow to i go about returning these and receiving my credit?
The items were:
VKWLGS01105D.B
VKWLGS03D.B
This is the second time I have written. I purchased two items from Revolution Golf and need to return them!
Please reply!

I purchased a life membership in Revolution Golf and have made numerous calls over a number of months and spoke with a number of your “representatives” always with assurances that I would receive a call back. Guess what…never a call back. Once they gave me a number for Revolution golf to call and it turned out to be a restaurant in Vero Beach named Revolution Bar and Golf, or something to that effect. I remember when Justin Tupper was announcing the exciting news about the sale and he assured everyone that the life memberships would be honored. I just need a straight answer if that’s going to happen as I’m tired of waiting on the phone and hearing the same story.
Thanks for the comment Rob, unfortunately since we are not affiliated with Revolution Golf or the Golf Channel, we are not able to help you resolve the matter. Hopefully you are able to get some answers from them soon though, as this is not the first time the issue has been brought to our attention. Best of luck to you.
For what I read here I gues I just lost the 200.00 dollars I paid for the golf courses I purchased about two years ago. Shameful to hear that revolution made money of all these people including myself and now we are all screwed. Anyway karma will get you.
Nick, seriously, I too signed up what I thought was a lifetime membership with RG and purchased a 6 pack video series of videos with Martin Chuck. What do I need to do to gain access and how do I access my videos?

ok, we got it you are not affiliated. But seems that since you are getting comments from so many of us with the same issue….a lifetime membership gone to the wind…you could at least ‘try’ to help us get an answer.
Joe,
Sorry to hear about your experience with Revolution. We can only tell you that we have no affiliation with Revolution or any of their staff. Hope you are able to find some answers and if so, please report back and share.
I am a Disabled Veteran and have a Life Time Membership with Revolution Golf. When the Golf Channel acquired Revolution Golf it did so because of the amount of members it has and the finances tied to it. That said Golf Channel should also honor and support Revolution Golf’s Life Time membership persons. It is the patrons that support the golfing industries and time for those same industries to support us Life Time member. You have us caught between a rock and a hard place by not having an agreement in place for the existing members. You made sure you ported over our data to be used for your future sales so how can you possibly say you have no ties with Revolution Golf? We are Revolution Golf and now Golf Channel. You have the power to make this right. So do so.

Llyod, thank you for posting and more importantly thank you for your service to our country. The men and women who protect or wonderful nation are heroes!! Sadly, we do not have any affiliation with Revolution Golf or the Golf Channel. Your comments and experience sadly sound all too familiar….sorry to hear this. On behalf of http://www.usgolftv.com we are happy you have come here to join our golfing family. We do our best to provide good solid information for our fellow golfers.
I had hundreds of dollars worth of golf instruction videos at Revolution Golf. I don’t understand. How can Golf Channel purchase Revolution Golf’s assets but reject Revolution Golf’s liabilities such as the golf videos that I and many of its members purchased from Revolution Golf and only had access to the golf videos at Revolution Golf.
Michael,
Sorry to hear this. Sadly our team has heard this a few times. Our suggestion would be to contact them directly if possible. Best of luck!
Please contact GolfNow directly and explain which videos you purchased.
GolfNow will be able to provide direct fast download links for the video content.
