Jeff Herold, an avid golfer, surfer, and pilot started the company back in 1990 by designing a golf club head cover out of wetsuit material. The Club Glove name originated from many of his friends describing the head cover designs as “fitting the club like a glove” Jeff, without the luxury of a college education, or any reasonable funding, started the company out of a friend’s garage. After nearly 5 years of bootstrapping, the brand began to get noticed for its quality and customer service in the golf accessory category. In 1996 the golf travel bag that the company’s namesake is most famous for was designed. Jeff literally drew the idea of Club Glove’s famous “Last Travel Bag” with pencil and paper and then went to work on building his first prototype right here in the United States with American manufacturers. Within months this new piece of travel equipment, designed to make transporting your clubs easier and more reliable, caught fire on the PGA Tour. In 1997 the United States Ryder Cup team was outfitted with Club Glove Last Travel Bags and the rest is history.
This iconic piece of travel equipment has now been Number One on the PGA Tour for over 20 years. With the advent of the new TRS Ballistic Luggage Line, Club Glove now dominates the tour in both categories, and has the highest percentage of product usage of any major brand-name in tour history.
