Brand

Clubs in PGA TOUR Golf Shootout belong to fictional manufacturer brands that fit a certain theme or specialty. Each brand has a unique style, many based on or inspired by real-world golf equipment brands or amalgamations of multiple brands. Generally, the brand a club belongs to is simply for added flavor, but a club's brand can sometimes have gameplay implications.

List of Brands
There are six brands in the game, with almost every club belonging to one of these.

Corvid
Corvid clubs tend to have properties that allow them to fly high and use the wind to their advantage. Several clubs of this brand have an increased loft angle over other clubs in the same category, and multiple clubs offer special abilities that reduce the affect of wind on the ball. The brand carries a sleek, modern theme with black anodized clubs reminiscent of the latest in real-world clubs. There are eight Corvid clubs in the game.

Forester
The Forester brand is classic with wood accents, fitting for its focus on abilities that take advantage of trees on the course. Several Forester clubs have the Tree Bonus ability, granting them a boost to all stats depending on how many trees are nearby when the ball is hit. There are eight Forester clubs in the game.

PALO
PALO clubs have solid but not breakout performance, but are augmented with abilities that make them stronger depending on the terrain of the course. PALO clubs have timeless metal designs and a modern feel. There are eight PALO clubs in the game.

Ryusei
The Ryusei brand is modern and has a theme of science and technology. While its clubs don't have standout stats, several of them have powerful abilities that boost the performance of other adjacent clubs, making them an easy inclusion in many bags. There are eight Ryusei clubs in the game.

Stanchion
Stanchion clubs mostly eschew strong special abilities in favor of power above all else. Its drivers can launch a ball for the longest distances in the game even without power boosts. Stanchion has a simple, clean design with gold accents. There are eight Stanchion clubs in the game.

Willoughsby
Willoughsby is another brand rooted in classic golf history, with timeless designs and several clubs made of actual wood. Willoughsby clubs have respectable stats across the board, but they focus on making each other stronger through the Brand Loyalty special ability, which every club of this manufacturer shares. There are eight Willoughsby clubs in the game.

Mythical Clubs
There are three clubs in the game of mythical rarity, and they are often seen as sharing a "brand." However, they actually have no brand and don't fit neatly into any of the other brand archetypes. They don't benefit from any brand-related abilities, but because of their lack of brand, they can be used in any solo challenge that requires all clubs of a certain brand. The three brandless mythical rarity clubs are The Reaper, Meteor, and Sparky.
