No Laying Up is a US-based golf media collective built around five self-described "fanalysts" — dedicated fans with genuine analytical chops — who launched what became one of the sport's most widely followed podcasts before expanding into video, travel, and live event coverage. The group's identity is deliberately non-traditional: they cover professional golf with press-credential access to PGA and LPGA Tour events while simultaneously producing original travel franchises, most notably Tourist Sauce, which takes them to bucket-list courses across Europe and beyond. Post titles referencing Shinnecock Hills, Casa de Campo, and Swedish coastal courses reflect a content mix that blends armchair-fan irreverence with credentialed reporting.
Their audience skews heavily male and spans a wide age range, suggesting they attract both younger golf converts and established fans who grew up with the sport — an unusually broad demographic for a niche media brand. Sponsor relationships with Titleist, FootJoy, and Rhoback signal deep alignment with core golf equipment and apparel categories, while Yeti points to the outdoor-lifestyle crossover their travel content enables. BMW Deutschland's appearance adds a premium automotive dimension consistent with the affluent recreational golfer. As golf's media landscape continues fragmenting away from traditional broadcasters, No Laying Up's podcast-first, community-driven model positions it as an increasingly influential independent voice in the sport.
Nolayingup reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. As a sport creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Titleist and BMW Deutschland. Engagement on YouTube runs around 1.7%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

In golf, "laying up" means playing a conservative shot to avoid a hazard instead of going for the green. No Laying Up takes its name from rejecting that cautious approach, signaling an aggressive, go-for-it philosophy both on the course and in how the group approaches golf media. The name doubles as a statement about their content style: unpolished, opinionated, and fan-first rather than corporate.
No Laying Up is a group of five self-described golf "fanalysts" — serious fans who analyze the game rather than former tour pros or traditional broadcasters. Members who appear regularly in video content include Tron, Ben, and Soly, among others. Their chemistry as a crew of genuine golf obsessives is central to why the brand resonates with a highly loyal audience.
Tourist Sauce is one of No Laying Up's signature original golf travel franchises, where the crew travels to play distinctive and often off-the-beaten-path courses around the world. Episodes have taken them to locations including Sweden — specifically the Bohuslän coast around Grebbestad and Fjällbacka — blending course play with genuine travel and lifestyle storytelling. It's widely regarded as one of the most distinctive golf travel series in digital media.
Tron is one of the core on-camera personalities and podcast hosts in the No Laying Up group. He gained extra attention from fans when a recent Hitting Cups episode documented him playing competitive tournament golf for the first time in 20 years. He's a recurring voice in the podcast's course and tour analysis and frequently appears in the brand's travel and on-course video formats.
Wild World of Golf is a No Laying Up video series that sends the group to unusual or memorable golf settings and formats. The "Last Man Standing" format — featured at the resort course Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic — puts members through competitive rounds where players are progressively eliminated. It sits alongside Tourist Sauce and Hitting Cups as one of the brand's recurring original franchises.
Hitting Cups is a video series on No Laying Up's YouTube channel that follows members of the crew competing in real amateur golf events and tournaments, rather than just watching professionals play. Episodes have included Tron returning to tournament competition after a 20-year break and Ben playing the Gasparilla tournament with fellow member Soly on the bag as caddie. It gives the audience an inside look at the guys competing themselves, which deepens the fan connection.
No Laying Up has built credibility over years of serious, fan-focused tour coverage at events across the PGA and LPGA Tours worldwide, which has earned them behind-the-scenes access that most digital creators don't receive. Their coverage of Jordan Spieth during a practice round at Spyglass Hill is an example of the kind of player-access content they produce on-site at Tour events. This access is a key differentiator from other golf YouTube channels and a major draw for their core audience.
Road to Eleven is an ongoing No Laying Up content franchise that documents one of the group's members working toward a specific golf improvement goal, bringing viewers along for the grind of getting better at the game. It resonates strongly with recreational golfers who relate to the slow, frustrating process of lowering a handicap. The series reflects No Laying Up's broader philosophy of making golf feel personal and relatable, not just a spectator sport.
Yes, Titleist is a confirmed brand partner of No Laying Up, with sponsored content appearing on their YouTube channel. The partnership is a natural fit given Titleist's position as one of golf's most prestigious equipment brands and No Laying Up's audience of serious, engaged golfers. Other golf and lifestyle brands in the sponsor roster include FootJoy, Yeti, Rhoback, and BMW Deutschland.
No Laying Up has attracted a roster of premium golf and lifestyle sponsors including Titleist, FootJoy, Yeti, Rhoback, and BMW Deutschland. These partnerships reflect the brand's appeal to an affluent, golf-passionate audience that skews heavily male and runs across a wide adult age range. Their engagement consistently runs above the category median, which makes them an attractive partner for brands targeting serious golfers.
