INTRODUCTION Welcome to TeeOff by PGA TOUR! This brand book lives to guide your understanding of our brand— why it exists, how it sounds and what it looks like. It will help inspire your creative representation of TeeOff in all communications to ensure that we are always positioned consistently as a friend passionately in love with the game of golf. Let’s go. You’re on the tee!
INTRODUCTION // VISION
OUR VISION
WE AIM TO BE GOLF’S & GOLFERS’ MOST VALUED PARTNER.
03
©2019 TEEOFF – Confidential and Proprietary.
INTRODUCTION // OUR MANIFESTO
TeeOff aspires to feed golfer’s passion for the game by making it as easy as possible to discover their next round. Featuring exclusive DEALS golfers can’t find anywhere else, TeeOff invites golfers that shoot 111 and 67 to join in on the fun. Our core mission is to get golfers on the course— whether a local favorite or a bucket-list destination— without obstacles.
WE ARE HERE FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME. Want to talk about where to play next, cutting the dogleg on a par 5, or the swing changes needed to reach a goal? We’re in. We speak the same language and love connecting with our tribe of golfers as we all passionately pursue the next round.
04
INTRODUCTION // OUR GOLFERS
Our golfers come in all ages, genders and abilities. Their passion for the game is clearly identified by calloused hands, sunburnt calves, far lighter feet and the smile in their eyes the moment they say hello. Flowing feverishly from a tale of a lipped-out sixfooter last week to a drive that cracked three trees before landing in the middle of the fairway, our tribe of golfers has two stories for every shot they’ve ever hit. They compare stale halfway house hotdogs to filet mignon, and they speak of a new driver like it’s their next of kin.
GOLF IS THE MUSE FOR THE POETRY OF THEIR SOULS.

INTRODUCTION // OUR VOICE
WHAT IS OUR VOICE? Our voice embodies the memorable cart ride conversations shared by golfers across the globe, and it is forever focused on bringing players together to breathe their passion into the game of golf. And as the go-to golf buddy, we always talk with our golfers — not at them, and we do so in a way that aligns itself with the core values of the game (P.A.R.):
PASSION We are enthused by the content we share with our golfers because it clearly shows the core emotion that binds our partnership.
AMUSEMENT We have fun. And sometimes in the throes of this beautifully frustrating game, everyone needs a reminder that golf is meant to be fun.
RESPECT We mirror the integrity of the game in our actions. We’re honest, forthright and committed to giving everyone the benefit of the doubt — even when they need a mulligan or two.
07

INTRODUCTION // VOICE APPLICATION
WHAT DOES THE VOICE SOUND LIKE WHEN WE PROMOTE OUR TEE TIMES? “LOOK. We’ve got a DEAL “Fridays Are Meant For Fairways. NOT too amazing to disclose.” Save 20% on DEAL Times.
P.A.R. rings through a direct, enthusiastic representation of the deal we are offering. No click baiting— just honest talk from a trustworthy golf buddy.
WHAT DOES THE VOICE SOUND LIKE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GOLF COURSES? “From the moment you slap driver off the first 1st tee of this Pete Dye design till you sink your last putt on the 18th hole, the world’s largest ocean stands by as a spectator that steadily supplies rhythmic white noise and a salty mist that tastes like vacation.”
NOT
“Trump National Los Angeles is a difficult daily fee, par 72 course in Palos Verdes, California.”
When we describe golf courses, we do so in a fashion that will help the golfer understand what it will feel like when she arrives on the property. Our writing is accurate, eloquent (without ever sounding stuffy) and committed to inciting passion, amusement and respect.
WHAT DOES THE VOICE SOUND LIKE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PGA TOUR? “Can you imagine making 27 birdies in 72 holes?! Pat Perez was simply amazing this week on the PGA TOUR.”
NOT
“Pat Perez snapped a recent slump, and he recovered from a nagging shoulder injury to make 27 birdies this weekend.”
Our representation of PGA TOUR developments is always positive, rooted in P.A.R. and consciously diverted away from being considered analysis or opinion. And when possible, we bring PGA TOUR updates into our golfers’ games in a fun, relatable fashion.

NOTE:
17
When TeeOff is the main sponsor, the
partner logo should fit within the height
of “TEEOFF.” The space between the two
logos and the bar that separates them
should be equal.
When using the vertical logo and
TeeOff is the main sponsor, the partner
logo should be the height of “TeeOff”
and “by PGA TOUR.”
When TeeOff and a partner are equal,
the logos should be proportional
to each other.
When there are multiple logos together, then
the TeeOff logo should be equal in size
to the others and spaced equally apart.
Always keep the clearspace for TeeOff in mind. ©2019 TEEOFF – Confidential and Proprietary.

PROMOTIONAL COLORS
When there is a need to call attention, we use the colors in the promotional palette. These colors accent the primary palette and signal a great deal.
COLOR // DOS & DON’TS
COLOR DOS
DO use primary and secondary color in the crosshatch provided in these guidelines to add color, energy, and emphasis to the product. DO use promotional colors to highlight sales and deals for standout. DO use vibrant photography to showcase inventory.
COLOR DON’TS
DO NOT use promotional colors within the patterns. DO NOT use a color or tint to cover an entire photograph.
26
COLOR // CROSSHATCH Option 1
Option 2
ANGLES 45° 30° 10°
PATTERNS
The crosshatch is a contemporary nod to golf’s traditional roots in patterns like argyle. HOW TO CREATE A PATTERN
The crosshatch is built using 10°, 30°, and 45° angles. We use no more than 3 swatches of color: light, medium and dark to overlay a photo. In InDesign or other CS applications, use the “effects” palette to shift colors to “multiply”. Make sure that you use the approved primary and secondary color palette. Two options may be used when creating a crosshatch for an image. The most commonly used is starting from 100% opacity to 30% transparency with identified edges overlaying the image (option 1). An alternative to this is starting from 100% opacity to a 0% transparent gradient (option 2). When overlaying the image area, remember that the pattern is to act as a frame and should never be more than 50% of the image area.
27
©2019 TEEOFF – Confidential and Proprietary.
COLOR // CROSSHATCH DON’TS
Do NOT tone back color palette
below 50%. Pastel tones are not
part of the approved palette.
Do NOT place pattern over full layout.
Do NOT add a strip of pattern to
a layout, which makes it unreadable
and is not part of our brand system.
Do NOT use colors from the promotional color palette.
28
COLOR // BACKGROUND TEXTURE
BACKGROUND TEXTURE
The background texture is a pattern of black on black hexagons that give our black background depth and movement. Though black on black is the primary use, you can use the texture in other design elements as long as it is used sparingly. On occasion, the texture can be used as an orange on orange with a gradient to black. HOW TO CREATE THE BACKGROUND TEXTURE
What is important to recognize about the black texture is the highlighted area. When using the highlight, always use a radial gradient from black to white. When overlaying the gradient layer onto the hexagonal vector, put the transparency at color burn with a 50% opacity. The highlight in the gradient layer lays behind the main part of the image, almost like a subtle spotlight.

©2019 TEEOFF – Confidential and Proprietary.
COLOR // BACKGROUND TEXTURE DON’TS Do NOT have the radial gradient overlay too light on the texture. Keep it to 50% opacity with a color burn.
Do NOT make the texture too big. The idea is to show subtle depth, not a honeycomb effect.
Do NOT use the texture without the radial gradient overlay.
Do NOT use a low resolution version of the texture.

PHOTOGRAPHY // GOLFERS
GOLFERS
Our photography features dynamically-cropped black and white action shots remniscent of a dream-like experience to put the golfer right in the moment. A full view of people’s face shouldn’t be shown but sometimes a 3/4 profile is acceptable.
32
PHOTOGRAPHY // CLOSE UPS
CLOSE UPS
To differentiate us from the competition and evoke passion for the game, our photography is high contrast, black and white and shot close-up.
33
©2019 TEEOFF – Confidential and Proprietary.
PHOTOGRAPHY // MACRO TEXTURES
MACRO TEXTURES
Though used sparingly, macro textures are used as a background of an already full design and does not distract from the message. The macro textures are mainly used to provide more variance and a subtle nod to the golfer’s recognition of the object. These can be used in color or black and white. See examples below on how macro textures can be used.
34
PHOTOGRAPHY // COURSES
COURSES
In most cases, vibrant four-color photography will be used to showcase the variety of golf courses. Use the blues and greens from the promotional palette as a starting point. The colors should be rich and vibrant but not unnatural. NOTE
It is okay to use black and white course photography when used as a background versus when we are selling the course as a product.

PHOTOGRAPHY // PLAYER SUBMITTED PHOTOS
PLAYER SUBMITTED PHOTOS
We receive images provided by our customers through our social channels as well as ratings and reviews. We are able to use these images in different ways as this is part of the Belonging Brand Pillar. Using images in color brings a different feel to these and makes them stand out from our brand. These show true life color and a fun engagement with our consumer. We also use these in black and white for our promotional email usage. We call out the photographer in a Helvetica font at 9 points next to an icon of our brand mark, orange or black and white depending on what has the most standout and makes the most sense for the layout.

EMAILS // PROMOTIONAL
PROMOTIONAL EMAILS
We send the promotional emails out several times a week and so the photos should be relevant to the offer/ concept and should support the brand differentiation from other emails our golfers may be receiving. The codes should always be highlighted in our blue promo color and the saving percentages should always be highlighted in the green promo color (see below for builds). League Gothic is used for savings and codes. DEAL Pass savings are listed below the promo code in the Arvo font.

EMAILS // KEY MESSAGES
KEY MESSAGE EMAILS
These emails are built similarly to the promotional emails but with a simpler hero image so the content of the email is read. These do not have promotional codes unless an ad unit is put into the email. The Welcome series for 2019 (shown below) was built with the idea of keeping them all in the same design series. The heros are toned down and smaller, but add a pop of color as the text is the most important part of these emails.
44
EMAILS // TRANSACTIONAL
TRANSACTIONAL EMAILS
Though we insert the brand look into our transactional emails, the goal is to get the consumer the information they need in the most organized way and to also encourage booking. The hero images are smaller and simplified.

SUB BRANDS // TEEOFF POINTS
TEEOFF POINTS
TeeOff Points was created to give rewards to consumers for their purhcases. The logo is always stacked and either black and orange or white and orange. The gradient is always present in the orange unless embroidered or printed two color. The Points logo can also be presented within a button of gray or white (see examples below).
48
SUB BRANDS // DEAL PASS
TEEOFF DEAL PASS
TeeOff DEAL Pass was created to sell subscriptions to our consumers. The grid should always be created with a perfect diamond shape and all white grid lines should be evenly spaced. The golf ball macro texture is used to give texture and interest to the content without intruding on the other images. When using the DEAL Pass logo in an ad or web page, always keep it in an orange background for standout. Photos used can overlap grid diamonds but should always allow for movement. Both black and white action and color courses must be shown together.

TREATING COURSE PHOTOGRAPHY
ORIGINAL STOCK IMAGE
In an effort to see courses through the golfer’s eye and mimic on-course behavior, we apply a unique treatment to our course imagery to make the green, fairway or pin (depending on the vantage point) the primary point of focus. HOW TO BRING FOCUS TO A SUBJECT (TILT-SHIFT PHOTOGRAPHY)
To convert a photo to a branded TeeOff.com image for social media, use the following steps:
1 Choose ‘Edit In Quick Mask mode’
under the Select option.
2 Using the gradient tool, select Radial
Gradient. Select the area of focus and
place a radial gradient over it. Exit Quick
Mask mode by pressing ‘Q’, and
Photoshop will select the gradient
higlighted area.
