The TGI Take

Most golf brands start from the clubhouse. Dual Sport starts from the locker room. The best piece in the range is a heavy cotton knit cut like a football jersey, with numbers on the shoulders. There is a sweater vest with a big 2 on the back, a tee named for the pre-draft pro day, and a silicone wristband that reads “Designed to be versatile.” Then there are the polos, which are good: the Flight Knit has raglan sleeves and a bowling-shirt collar, and it would look right at a muni or a nice club.

What makes it work is that the guy behind it lives both sides. Evan Thompson played linebacker and golf at Kennesaw State, and he now plays off plus five. The clothes are cut for that body: the models are 6′5″ and wear a medium, the pants are high waisted, and the windbreakers are wide and boxy. If you came to golf from another sport, or still play one, this is a brand made with you in mind.

It is also young. The first thing Dual Sport sold was a ball marker in May 2024. Two years later it has a full apparel line, covers made with CMC Designs, and four stockists, two of them close to home for Evan: Clermont National in his Florida hometown, and Grass Clippings in Tempe, home of the Grass League he plays in. Prices sit in the middle of the market, polos at $68 to $78, and the older pieces are on sale.

From the Gridiron to Plus Five

Evan Thompson grew up in Clermont, Florida, and played both football and golf in college at Kennesaw State, outside Atlanta. As a golfer he qualified for the U.S. Amateur and has chased U.S. Open qualifying, and in 2026 he joined the Grass League, where he plays for the Scottsdale Strikers. His home course is Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw.

He also built one of golf’s bigger creator followings, filming rounds with pros and NFL players. By 2024 he had about 250,000 followers on TikTok. In a 2025 podcast, The First Call described content creation as the means, but not the end, of his golf ambitions. Dual Sport came out of the same idea. When he talked about it on The Amateur Golf Podcast in August 2024, the company was described as “built to help athletes who play more than one sport.”

“If there is one thing Dual Sport will remind you of it’s to Be More, Be Versatile, and Be Dual.”— Dual Sport, About page
