YouTube golfer Grant Horvat has launched a $199 golf-club starter set for children aged three to six, prompting criticism over its price and unclear materials. The article argues that, while encouraging young children to take up golf is positive, the cost appears hard to justify compared with rival children’s sets and sits uneasily with Horvat’s affluent public profile.

The Lil’ Legends Starter Set, made with Performance Golf, includes a toddler-sized driver, iron and putter, a training grip, mat-bag, foam balls, tees and instructional games. The sales page contrasts the product with $25 plastic sets but does not specify its construction; Performance Golf said the clubs are “real golf equipment” made with unspecified “toddler-safe materials” and designed for durable use.
