Gospel Golf, a brand founded by Kyler Krumpos in 2024, is making waves in the golfing community by integrating Christian values with the sport. Emerging from Washington State, the brand aims to use golf as a platform for faith, stewardship, and meaningful conversations.
The essence of golf—the long walks, shared silences, and deep conversations—serves as the heartbeat of Gospel Golf. Krumpos believes that the sport provides a unique opportunity for testimony and connection. “Golf is the best sport for testimony and stewardship,” he states. “What other sport involves you sitting with someone for hours, able to have conversations the entire time?”
### A Unique Approach to Golf Apparel
Gospel Golf is designed not merely as a clothing brand but as a conversation starter. Krumpos emphasizes that much of the apparel features a subtle logo, inviting curiosity rather than overt messaging. This approach encourages inquiries about the brand, allowing for deeper discussions about faith and spirituality. “When someone asks about the outfit or the brand, it can open the door to a deeper exchange,” he explains.
Krumpos’s journey to establishing Gospel Golf was not instantaneous. With a background in finance and experience in building a clothing business, he developed essential operational skills. He identified a gap in the market for Christian-based golf apparel and dedicated time to refining product quality and crafting a launch strategy. “I searched for Christian-based golf, but nothing existed,” Krumpos recalls. His dedication led to a thoughtful launch, positioning Gospel Golf as a credible brand from the outset.
### Commitment to Purpose and Community
Today, Gospel Golf operates with a full-time team, partners with nonprofits, and supports charitable tournaments, pledging 10% of profits to the Tim Tebow Foundation. Krumpos views this commitment as an act of stewardship rather than a business strategy. The brand offers a wide array of golf essentials, including headcovers, towels, divot tools, and apparel, all competing on quality with established golf brands.
The company has also embraced a unique growth strategy by providing custom gear for nonprofits and schools, allowing partners to raise funds while promoting their missions. Beyond commercial interests, Gospel Golf is actively engaged in ministry with community gatherings, retreats, and international initiatives. “We want to meet people and give opportunities with purpose,” Krumpos affirms.
### Facing Competition with a Positive Outlook
Despite the rise of other Christian golf brands, Krumpos remains optimistic about Gospel Golf’s role in the market. He sees competition as a sign of momentum rather than a threat. “How could anyone object to more conversations about Christ on the course?” he states. His view is that golfers can encounter spirituality without necessarily wearing Gospel Golf apparel, as many are already discussing their faith while playing.
In less than two years, Gospel Golf has rapidly expanded its reach, operating in 50 states and 7 countries. Krumpos reflects on this growth, stating, “We’re just getting started. It’s been exciting to see the doors God continues to open for us, and we’re just going to keep stepping through them.”
For Gospel Golf, success is not solely measured by sales figures or market expansion. Instead, the brand prioritizes the meaningful conversations sparked between golfers, where faith meets fairway. Krumpos emphasizes that their mission transcends commerce, aiming to foster a community where purpose and connection thrive.
