Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

 

Camarillo, Calif., April 30, 2024 – Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPGC), (the “Company” or “Sacks Parente”), a technology-forward golf company with a growing portfolio of golf products, including putters, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related accessories, reports its financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and provides a business update.

 

Financial Highlights

 

Revenue of $350k in 1Q24 exceeded all of FY2023 revenue
April 2024 is expected to be record revenue month, and 2Q24 revenue is expected to grow 100% sequentially over 1Q24

 

Recent Corporate Highlights

 

Expanded its Newton Golf Shaft division with the addition of Newton Motion Fairway Wood shaft to complement its initial Newton Motion Driver shaft
Introduced a unique incentive program for golf professionals, custom club fitters, and golf instructors to help drive revenue growth from the Company’s Sacks Parente line of putters
Introduced an innovative putter demo program that offers golfers the opportunity to test its premium putters prior to purchase
Announced that the Company’s premium putters and Newton Motion driver shafts were available in all 126 Club Champion retail stores nationwide. The Company expects to see accelerated quarterly revenue from this relationship begining in 2Q24
Entered into player agreements for Newton Motion shaft sponsorships with Ken Duke (PGA Tour Champions), Gene Sauers (PGA Tour Champions), and Fernandra Lira (LET/LPGA/Epson Tours)
Appointed golf-industry veteran Jane Casanta to the Board of Directors

 

“Our marketing efforts — especially through paid social advertising — over the last six months for both our premium line of putters and our advanced Newton Motion replacement shafts are helping to build brand awareness and accelerate our revenue growth,” commented Greg Campbell, Sacks Parente’s Executive Chairman. “The launch of the Newton Motion Driver shaft in November has been met with very positive early adoption, including from some professionals, which gives us confidence that the recent launch of the Newton Motion Fairway Wood shaft will be met with similar success. Much of the revenue growth in the first quarter was tied to traction from the Newton Motion Driver shaft introduction, allowing us to deliver higher revenue than we did in all of 2023. We expect this momentum to continue, as April will be a record revenue month for us and we see second quarter revenue doubling that from the first quarter. We are entering the seasonally stronger golf season throughout the U.S., and along with our continued traction in key international markets, we look forward to continued brand building and revenue growth.”
