Is golf the new skateboarding? Golf is having a moment, and some of the people driving it might surprise you. A wave of pro skateboarders has gotten seriously into golf. Sean Malto is a standout. He's not just dabbling, he's legitimately good, reportedly shooting rounds in the seventies and playing multiple times a week. Eric Costin, Paul Rodriguez, and Zion Wright are all regulars on the course now. Golf's image is changing fast. It's getting younger, looser, and way more influenced by streetwear and skate style. Brands like Malbon, Meadowood Studios, Eastside Golf, and Students are pulling from skate aesthetics with oversized fits, graphics, and the crossover is real. Skate brands like Santa Cruz and Girl have done official collabs with Malbon, blending skate identity directly into modern golf aesthetics. Rank skaters are helping push that identity. They're bringing a style that makes golf less like a country club sport and more like another lane for self expression. No, is golf the new skateboarding? Let me know what you think in the comments.
