EA Carts x TaylorMade: Official Golf Cart Partner of TaylorMade Golf

EA Carts is the official golf cart partner of TaylorMade Golf. Our carts are now at The Kingdom, TaylorMade's legendary fitting headquarters in Carlsbad, California, where the best players in the world come to get fitted. Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler. They all walk through those doors. This partnership puts EA Carts alongside the biggest name in golf equipment and validates what our customers already know: EA Carts builds the best-looking, best-performing golf carts on the market.

EA Carts also teamed up on another high-profile collaboration with West Coast Customs and Legends.

EA Carts is a golf cart manufacturer and the official golf cart partner of TaylorMade Golf.

What the TaylorMade Partnership Means for Golf Cart Buyers

TaylorMade didn't pick EA Carts at random. They chose us for the same reasons our customers do: quality builds, sharp design, and a buying experience that actually respects your time. When a company that outfits Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy trusts you with their campus fleet, that says something no ad campaign can.

We delivered multiple EA Carts models to The Kingdom in Carlsbad, CA. That's TaylorMade's club-fitting headquarters, the facility where tour professionals get dialed in before majors. The Kingdom is where equipment deals get made and where the world's best players test gear before it hits the market. It's one of the most exclusive golf facilities on earth.

The EA2GOLF 60V course-ready 2-seater is on-site. So are our Golf Bikes, which TaylorMade staff use for on-campus transportation. These aren't display models sitting in a lobby. They're working carts, used daily by TaylorMade's team and visiting professionals.

Think about the company EA Carts keeps now. TaylorMade's ambassador roster includes Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Nelly Korda, Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood, and Charley Hull. Those are the best golfers on the planet. And EA Carts is right there with them at The Kingdom.

Here's what that means if you're shopping for a golf cart: the biggest brand in golf trusts EA Carts with their most important facility. That's not a marketing claim. That's a product endorsement you can't buy. For the full EA Carts review and brand story, see how TJ built the brand from scratch.

From Cart Pusher to Cart Maker: The EA Carts Story

Theodore "TJ" Johnson started working at Walmart at 16 years old. His first job was pushing carts in the parking lot. Over 18 years, he climbed from that lot to running a $100M store, becoming one of the youngest store managers in Walmart's history.

Sam Walton's customer-first philosophy stuck with TJ. It became the operating system for everything he built after.

After Walmart, TJ moved to Pepsi. Then he founded BIC Unlimited, a company that built in-store displays for major retailers. He also launched Thrive-X Agency. Both businesses gave him a deep understanding of consumer brands, manufacturing, and what makes people buy.

Then he wanted a golf cart.

"There was a gap. I wanted a golf cart. The whole dealer experience was overwhelming, and then it was $20,000-plus. There had to be a better way." - TJ Johnson, Founder of EA Carts

So TJ sourced materials, learned manufacturing from the ground up, and built his own cart. Friends saw it. They asked how much it cost. They wanted one.

"Everybody thought the golf cart was pretty cool. I told them how much I paid for it, how little time it took, and everybody said, 'I want one.' So we ordered a few. Then we ordered a lot." - TJ Johnson

EA Carts did $200,000 in sales in the first three weeks. No dealer network. No showroom. Just a product people actually wanted at a price that made sense.

TJ studied brands like Poppi, which sold to Pepsi for $2 billion by winning on social media first. He looked at the legacy golf cart companies (Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha) and noticed something obvious: they were doing almost nothing on social media. The gap was wide open. EA Carts drove straight through it.

How EA Carts Went from Zero to TaylorMade in 18 Months

The growth timeline still surprises people who follow this industry. EA Carts launched, built momentum through social media, and landed partnerships that companies twice their age haven't secured. In an industry where it takes most brands a decade to get noticed, EA Carts did it in a year and a half.

It started with one influencer. Then 30. Then the phone started ringing from places TJ never expected.

Indianapolis Colts: EA Carts became the official golf cart partner of the Colts for the 2024-25 NFL season. This deal closed before EA Carts had shipped its first vehicle. The Colts saw the brand, saw the product, and committed early.

LIV Golf: EA Carts built custom carts for the LIV Golf Duels event. The timeline was brutal: 30 days to deliver. Then the wrong graphics were sent. TJ's team rewrapped every cart and delivered in 15 days. After the event, the teams bought the carts. That's the kind of product experience that builds a reputation.

Good Good: EA Carts built the "Mothership," a custom broadcast vehicle for Good Good's streaming events. Good Good reaches millions of golf fans, and the Mothership became a centerpiece of their production.

Tour pros and influencers: Grant Horvat, Micah Morris, Cam Smith, and Phil Mickelson have all been seen riding EA Carts. These relationships grew organically from the product, not from paid placements.

Sam's Club: EA Carts secured a retail partnership with Sam's Club, putting their carts in front of millions of shoppers who had never heard of them before.

TaylorMade: The biggest partnership yet. Official golf cart partner of TaylorMade Golf, with EA Carts models and Golf Bikes at The Kingdom.

And the pipeline keeps growing. EA Carts is currently negotiating a 240-cart fleet deal with a top Texas golf course, the company's entry into the "green grass" vertical where legacy brands have dominated for decades.

What Makes EA Carts Different

Most golf cart companies sell you a base model, then charge thousands more for the features you actually want. Lithium battery? That's an upgrade. Lift kit? Another upgrade. LED lighting, turn signals, mirrors? All upgrades. By the time you check every box, that $12,000 cart is pushing $20,000. And you still haven't paid for delivery.

EA Carts doesn't work that way. We think it's a broken model, and our customers agree.

Every model ships fully loaded at the base price: lithium battery, lift kit, LED lighting, turn signals, mirrors, seat belts, windshield, and your choice of color. No surprise add-ons. No dealer negotiation. No "let me talk to my manager" games. The price on the site is the price you pay. That transparency is a big part of why buyers exploring different types of golf carts keep landing on EA Carts.

We build seven models, from $11,898 to $22,998:

• EA2GOLF 60V ($11,898): Course-ready 2-seater with turf tires. This is the model at The Kingdom.
• EA4X4 72V ($22,998): The only true four-wheel-drive golf cart on the consumer market. 72V lithium, power to all four wheels, built for off-road terrain that would stop any other cart.
• Golf Bikes: Electric golf bikes for courses and recreation. Also on-site at The Kingdom.

Five more models fill the range between those two, covering everything from neighborhood cruising to street-legal commuting to serious off-road use. Browse the full lineup in our golf cart collection.

The buying experience matters too. EA Carts sells direct-to-consumer. No dealer markup. No back-and-forth negotiation. Order online or through Sam's Club. That's it.

Every cart comes with a lifetime lithium battery warranty and a lifetime structural frame warranty. Those are the longest warranty terms in the golf cart industry. We can offer them because we trust what we build.

"The customer is the only person that can really fire you. If they stop buying from you, you have no choice. It only takes one bad experience to wipe out what took 18 months to build." - TJ Johnson

That mindset comes from 18 years at Walmart, where TJ learned that customer service isn't a department. It's the entire business. If you've ever dealt with a traditional golf cart dealer and walked away frustrated, you'll understand why EA Carts exists.

The Golf Cart Industry Is Changing

The global golf cart market is worth $2.30 billion in 2025 and is growing at 4.8% annually through 2036, according to Future Market Insights. That's steady, significant growth driven by two forces: electric adoption and lifestyle use beyond the golf course.

Today, 95% of new golf carts sold are electric. The gas-powered era is ending. And the use cases have expanded far beyond 18 holes. Golf carts are neighborhood vehicles, campus transportation, farm utility rigs, and low-speed street vehicles in hundreds of communities across the country. Retirement communities in Florida and Arizona have entire road networks designed for golf cart traffic. College campuses use them for maintenance and security. The golf cart is no longer just a golf product.

The legacy brands built their businesses through dealer networks and golf course contracts. Club Car, E-Z-GO, and Yamaha have been the default choices for decades. They have deep relationships with courses, massive dealer footprints, and decades of brand recognition.

But they also have bloated pricing, slow innovation cycles, and almost zero direct connection with the end buyer.

EA Carts is the first major golf cart brand built through social media and direct-to-consumer sales. No dealer middlemen inflating prices. No 8-week wait for a cart that still needs $5,000 in upgrades. The comparison to Club Car and E-Z-GO becomes clear fast when you look at what's included at the base price.

The TaylorMade partnership signals that the industry's biggest players see EA Carts as a serious force. When TaylorMade puts your product at The Kingdom, that's not a test run. That's a bet on the future of the category.

What's Next for EA Carts

We're opening locations in Arizona, Texas, and Florida. These regional hubs will let us offer free shipping nationwide and faster delivery times for customers in the South and Southwest, where golf cart demand is highest. For buyers who have been waiting on golf cart financing options, the expansion means more accessibility and better service coverage.

The golf course vertical is expanding. Beyond the 240-cart fleet deal in Texas, EA Carts is pursuing prestige partnerships with high-end country clubs and boutique golf communities. The TaylorMade partnership opened doors that didn't exist 18 months ago. Course operators who once dismissed a new brand are now returning calls because they've seen EA Carts at The Kingdom.

A capital raise is in progress to fund this expansion. More brand partnerships are coming through the TaylorMade relationship. And the social media engine that built EA Carts from zero keeps accelerating. We're adding content, growing our community, and putting carts in front of audiences that legacy brands can't reach.

"My worst-case scenario is going back to corporate America, where I was doing really well. So my worst case is still better than what I probably should have ever been. That gives you confidence to try things." - TJ Johnson

The goal is straightforward: become the go-to golf cart brand for anyone who wants premium quality without the premium hassle. No dealer runaround. No sticker shock. No stripped-down base models. Just fully loaded carts, backed by lifetime warranties, from a brand that TaylorMade trusts enough to put at The Kingdom.

If you're comparing the best golf carts in 2026, the EA Carts and TaylorMade partnership is worth paying attention to. It's proof that you don't need 40 years and 10,000 dealers to build a brand that the biggest names in golf take seriously. You need a better product, a better experience, and the confidence to go direct.
