A Career-Launching Opportunity You’re Students Can't Miss
This is not just another student contest. It’s a global design challenge with real-world stakes, elite-level exposure, and an opportunity for students to launch their careers by having their work go from concept to reality.
We’re thrilled to announce The Art of Golf - a creative collaboration between The Rookies and Cleeks Golf Club, one of the standout teams from LIV Golf. This is not just another student contest. It’s a global design challenge with real-world stakes, elite-level exposure, and an opportunity for students to launch their careers by having their work go from concept to reality.
At its core, this contest invites the next generation of creatives - your students - to reimagine what a golf bag can be. But this isn’t just for golfers. It’s for artists, designers, storytellers, rebels, and cultural thinkers ready to shape the future of sport through creativity.
Two Briefs. One Massive Opportunity.
Students can choose from two tracks:
1. Cleeks 2026 Season Bag
Design a real, production-ready golf bag that will be carried by Cleeks players on tour next year.
2. Open Artistic Expression
Go wild — this is where students can treat the bag as art, fashion, sculpture, or statement. No rules, no limits.
Each category has its own winner - and both Grand Prize Winners receive:
- A VIP all-expenses-paid trip to a landmark Cleeks event for them and a friend
- Their work revealed on the world stage
- Massive exposure across global PR and social channels
- A shot at future merchandise collaboration
- A full Cleeks gear kit
Why You Should Share This With Your Students
This is the kind of project students will never forget - the kind they talk about at grad shows, job interviews, and portfolio reviews for years.
- It’s a real brand, with real reach
- It’s a chance to rethink the intersection of sport, design, and culture
- It could change a career before it even starts
Even if your students have never picked up a golf club - that’s the point. We’re looking for new perspectives, fresh ideas, and fearless creativity.
