Welcome to the New Proponent Group Benefit: Partner with Club Champion
Proponent Group is excited to announce a new partnership with Club Champion — the World’s #1 Custom Club Fitter. Developed in collaboration with PGA Professionals and teaching experts, the Club Champion Partner Program is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern golf operations. It allows golf facilities, professionals, and approved community partners to extend their club fitting capabilities through any of Club Champion’s 160+ locations—without the burden of building, staffing, or managing a fitting operation.
As golf professionals increasingly specialize in what they do best, club fitting has become one of the most logical areas to partner rather than duplicate. Club Champion serves as an extension of your operation, delivering best-in-class, brand-agnostic fittings while you stay focused on instruction, player development, and growing your business. As a Proponent Group professional, you now have access to exclusive partner perks that reward you while helping your students improve:
- 10% revenue share on referred custom club fittings
Lifetime revenue share while you remain an active partner. - Revenue sharing on qualifying referred sales
Earn ongoing revenue from referred fittings and purchases while Club Champion manages the fitting, build, fulfillment, and follow-up. - Improved operational efficiency with no additional labor
We handle the specialized, time-intensive aspects of club fitting so you and your staff can focus on your core operation. - Increased profit with no inventory or capital investment
There is no need to purchase fitting equipment, carry demo inventory, or add staffing—revenue share is generated without increasing overhead.
Why This Benefits Your Teaching Business
Club Champion is 100% focused on club fitting — it’s all they do. Their expertise complements your instruction to deliver game-changing results for your students. Their data-driven, brand-agnostic approach ensures players get the best equipment for their swing.
They fit from the largest selection of heads and shafts anywhere, including PING, Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, PXG, Cobra, Mizuno, Srixon, plus boutique brands and premium shafts like Fujikura, Mitsubishi, Graphite Design, True Temper, KBS, and many more.
The program is designed for PGA Professionals, golf facilities and facility owners, teaching professionals, and approved community partners seeking a trusted, brand-agnostic fitting partner.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY
As a LPGA/PGA Teaching Professional, teaching and coaching is what I do. Partnering with Club Champion has helped me to become a more effective coach and teacher. Knowing my players have been fitted properly with the correct equipment allows me to focus on coaching the game of golf.
My students and I both love Club Champion! The dedication to excellent customer service, support both in the fitting process and post sale, product knowledge, use of technology, follow through, pricing, attention to detail and professionalism sets the organization apart from all other fitting experiences! I give my recommendation without reservation to Club Champion and encourage all students and instructors to visit a location near them to get custom fit or observe a fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
IS IT DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH CLUB CHAMPION?
No. The program is designed to be simple and seamless. We work with your members, students, and customers the way you want us to. Club Champion functions as an extension of your member experience, not a replacement for it.
HOW AM I PAID?
Revenue share payments are made via direct deposit on the 20th of the month following shipment of the clubs.
DOES A MEMBER HAVE TO BUY AFTER THEY GET FITTED?
No. If we cannot clearly improve upon their current equipment, or if they simply choose not to purchase, there is no obligation to buy.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE CLUBS AFTER AN ORDER IS PLACED?
Approximately 90% of orders ship within 10 business days. Club Champion maintains roughly $10 million in inventory to support fast build times.
CAN I RECEIVE REVENUE SHARE FROM MY MEMBERS’ REPEAT PURCHASES?
Yes. You receive revenue share on your members’ purchases for as long as you remain an active partner. Approximately 55% of golfers who get fit return for additional club purchases within three years.
WHAT IF A MEMBER TIED TO MY ACCOUNT BUYS AT A DIFFERENT CLUB CHAMPION LOCATION?
You still receive your revenue share payout, provided you remain an active partner.
WHAT DOES “REMAIN ACTIVE” MEAN?
To remain active, a partner must refer at least one member per calendar year who completes a purchase. The fiscal year runs January through December.
WHAT IF MY MEMBER IS UNHAPPY WITH THEIR FIT?
Club Champion offers a Perfect Fit Guarantee. If adjustments are needed, we will make it right and ensure your referred player is satisfied.
WHAT DOES THE TYPICAL CLUB CHAMPION CUSTOMER LOOK LIKE?
Club Champion customers closely resemble private and semi-private club memberships. They are typically:
- Passionate golfers playing 30+ rounds per year (many play 60+)
- Members of private, semi-private, or resort facilities
- Skew older and affluent
- Enjoy traveling for golf
HOW DO I KNOW CLUB CHAMPION WILL TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY MEMBER?
Club Champion consistently earns industry-leading satisfaction scores, as measured by an independent third party, across all handicap levels.
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS FOR PARTNERS?
Yes. Partners and their staff are eligible for complimentary fittings and can purchase clubs at Club Champion’s cost. Partners are also welcome to attend fittings to add value to their member’s experience.
HOW MUCH DO FITTINGS COST FOR MY MEMBERS?
Fitting fees vary by fitting type and duration. Full-bag fittings are priced higher due to time and scope, while driver or iron fittings are shorter and priced accordingly. The fitting fee covers the fitter’s time and studio bay usage.
HOW LONG DOES A CUSTOM FITTING TAKE?
Most fittings take approximately 1.5 hours. A full-bag fitting takes about 3 hours. For more tenured members, full-bag fittings can be split into two sessions to reduce fatigue.
