About Golf Digest
Golf Digest is an American golf magazine and website covering instruction, equipment, courses, travel and the professional game, published at golfdigest.com.
Why a feature here matters
It is one of the best-known names in golf, read by players who care about their game, their equipment and where they play, so a feature here reaches a committed golf audience.
Best for: Golf equipment and apparel brands, coaches and academies, course and resort operators, golf travel companies, fitness and health experts who work with golfers.
How coverage happens at Golf Digest
There are two ways in. The first is to approach the editors yourself. Golf Digest is written by its own editors, writers and teaching professionals, and it does not publish an open submission programme, so pitching means finding the right editor for instruction, equipment, travel or the tours. That route is free, but it is slow, there is no promise of a reply, and the editors decide what runs. The second is to work with DNA. We develop the angle with you, write the feature to Golf Digest's standard, manage the placement and send you the draft first. Nothing goes live until you have approved every word.
The kind of story that lands
Golf Digest is organised around the things golfers care about. Instruction covers the swing, short game and putting, often through well-known teaching professionals. Equipment covers clubs, balls and gear, including its long-running Hot List. Courses and travel cover where to play, with its well-known course rankings. News and tour coverage follows the professional game. The stories that suit it are useful to players: a coach with a drill that solves a common fault, a brand with a product built on a real insight, a course or resort with something distinctive to offer, or a fitness expert who helps golfers stay on the course. General business stories without a golf connection do not fit.
How to Get Featured in Golf Digest
What Golf Digest is
Golf Digest is an American golf magazine and one of the best-known names in the sport. It covers instruction, equipment, courses, travel and the professional tours, and publishes at golfdigest.com alongside its magazine, newsletters, video and social channels.
If you want to get featured in Golf Digest, you need a story that is genuinely useful to golfers. There are two realistic routes: pitch the right editor yourself, which is free but leaves the decision entirely with the magazine, or work with an agency such as DNA, which develops a feature about you, writes it to Golf Digest's standard and manages the placement, with your approval on every word.
Is Golf Digest still published
Yes. Golf Digest is an active title and publishes new instruction, equipment, travel and tour coverage on golfdigest.com every day. Like most magazines, it has changed how and how often it prints over the years and puts much of its effort into digital, video and newsletters. If you want to know the current print schedule, the subscription details on its own site are the reliable source.
For anyone hoping to be featured, the practical point is that the website is where most readers now find Golf Digest stories, and a feature there can be shared, linked and found in search long after it is published.
What Golf Digest covers
Instruction is the heart of the brand: swing, short game, putting and course management, often taught through well-known teaching professionals and its rankings of top teachers. Equipment coverage reviews clubs, balls and gear, including the long-running Hot List. Courses and travel cover where to play, with course rankings that golfers and clubs follow closely. News and tour coverage follows the men's and women's professional game, and there is room for fitness, rules and the culture of the sport.
How to get featured in Golf Digest
Golf Digest is written by its own editors, writers and teaching professionals, and it does not run an open write-for-us programme. Pitching yourself means identifying the editor who covers your area and sending a short, specific idea with a clear benefit for players. The magazine decides what to run.
Working with DNA is the alternative. We develop the angle with you, write the feature to the publication's standard and manage the placement, and you approve every word before it goes live.
What makes a strong piece for Golf Digest
Usefulness to the reader comes first. A coach with a drill that fixes a common fault, an equipment brand with a design built on a real insight, a course or resort with something distinctive to offer, or a physiotherapist who helps golfers play without pain all fit. Specific detail beats claims: what the drill is, how the product works, what makes the course different. If your story is about business growth rather than golf, a title such as Entrepreneur is a more natural fit.
How the process works with DNA
We start by understanding what you do in golf and who you want to reach. We find the angle that fits Golf Digest's sections, write the feature to its standard and send you the draft. You ask for changes and approve every word before anything goes live, and we manage the placement from there. If we think another outlet suits your story better, we say so.
How long it takes
Expect weeks rather than days. Shaping a useful angle and agreeing the draft take time, and the golf calendar, with its majors and equipment launches, can move things around. We do not promise a date or an outcome.

Does Golf Digest accept guest articles?

Yes, when the story is genuinely useful to golfers. DNA can develop the feature, write it to the publication's standard and manage the placement, and nothing goes live until you have approved every word.
